It was my lazer sight for ...getting speakers at ear height.

What is that? Are you talking about their new USB implementation? If so, I’m hoping fairly soon - sounds like it could be awesome.

The SchiitPi is the processor they are using to build some new gear including their CD transport. See here: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?posts/235918/

Cool, so that is what they are planning! I envisioned a Pi/ Eitr one box solution that takes USB in and spits it out "cleaned".

Yup, literature says that this is the first place to go when exposed to dangerous SPLs, unless I'm misremembering. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for advancements in med tech. Also mildly irked it's just the one ear in my case, that'd explain some things.

Bass ftw :))

I can sympathise, although do not worry to much. My daughter is deaf in one ear and has very good hearing in the others. It is amazing to what she can do with that one ear.

Yup. Sounds right. 4 to 6kHz. High frequency hearing loss from age is in the top octave. Even then, it's not loss, but rather decreased sensitivity. Hearing damage is deep nulls in the upper mids.

As is usual with audio, have to try myself. Shanling M0 incoming.

I had a M0 briefly and literally never plugged anything into the jack. I only got it for LDAC streaming (which it did not-great at) and so I returned it and got a used ZX300 instead.

I am mostly interested in it for on the go usage with IEM's (Clip Zip style).The ZX300 is rather bulky compared to it.

A recipe for breaking expensive things?

Work hard. I am curious about this. ;)

I assume it's USB out of the RPi?

Yes. While I like the Allo digione, the Eitr is more flexible in application and should negitate the fancy PSU for the Pi. Probably.

I will eventually build this. I have the PCB and PM has the cases in stock. I even have a 10k tkd pot so I can check how well it fits.

I thought you did already ages ago. I was planning tto swop the pot over the Christmas holiday.

Dunno, they just said that it Avengers 4 is not the last time he will be Captain America.

Guess it's all going to that disney streaming service. The two remaining shows get one more season each since it already was in production.

If they cancel Punisher I hope Bernthal steps up the method and makes the house of mouse bleed for the injustice.

Not sure about the bass though. Works well when in office, but maybe a bit mild for usage on the go.

What happened? Are you trying to increase box compliance or standing wave damping?

Still working on the "voicing" of my DIY speakers. I have used Troels damping techniques. My boxes are sealed thought, where as most of his are reflex.

Yep, especially when you try different materials. They all sound different.

WTF is up with Marvel’s movies? No plot, drama, tension, or excitement

I stopped watching them years ago, maybe after the first Fantastic 4?

Scarlett Jonhasson? Omg she is hot!

Yes. That's the one. She is...

Sorry, but these companies that get fined have never put consumers first. The amount of power and influence Google yields is scary. EU trying to prevent Skynet !

It’s the goal of any publicly traded corporation to put share value first so yeah.. it would be nice if they put consumers first but it doesn’t happen unless doing so is tied to share value.

Jeez, no wonder the UK wants to exit the eu.

I did not know that there are actual "pro" hubs too.

@atomicbob, I didn't see it on that web page, but isn't part of the reason for lab usb hubs to prevent crazy stuff being sent up the wire to the host computer? PCs are better when they are not exploding ;)

@Thad E Ginathom the main purpose is to minimize noise downstream to the USB device, especially when testing USB devices in an EMI screen room.

You are correct, material matters. Plastic will only act as dust caps. Metal is needed for RFI performance.

@atomicbob, do you think there is a meaningful difference in performance between (1) gold-plated copper with no PFTE/Teflon insulation and (2) nickel-plated brass with PFTE/Teflon insulation?

Without testing both on a specific device with known RFI susceptibility, I couldn't predict which would be better for any given circumstance. When testing preamps and amps, I run quick tests with / without external grounding and input terminations to see which combination yields best performance.
