You're on a roll, don't stop now!

What I need is some more JP Trodden, been out for a while

Castanets are nothing special.

This instrument defies the laws of physics - I swear I listened to these through a NOS DAC and literally heard NOTHING! **mind blown**

Or my volume was off ;-)

Good luck, you got this!

I can’t wait for this quarter to be over :)

Good luck dude! Make sure to get plenty of rest too - no favors done to yourself by writing finals sleepy.

Yup, taking care of yourself is part of the battle. Good luck!

I remember hearing about the CLA one (and derivatives).

I think our adder is gonna end up being a Sparse Kogge-Stone tree with Carry increment adders at the bottom in sets of 2

It took a while, but i finally wrapped my head around how to do this damn sparse tree. time to make a schematic

Lol, i already have two boards from other people that I plan to use for USB -> I2S. I'd take yours but don't want to be a hoarder.

I'll take it, I have a friend that wants one.

I have one for Bifrost that could use a new home.

Hope you get what you want. Austin is cool, especially when one is young. More attractive young ladies than any other place I have been, especially during the school year. Seriously...

Oh nice, all the best with it man.

Good luck! Hope everything goes alright!

Not sure if I'm being redundant, but you can save a set of VST plugin presets into a FB2K "DSP Chain Preset". EG: I have a bunch of hi-res stuff that really pushes my CPU

if I then have Equilibrium (VST) process it at high fidelity, so I have a chain which is Resampler-V to downsample-->Equilibrium-->Essence. I have this same chain with different EQ and Essence settings for Monitors, HD650 and M500 which are each saved as DSP Chain Presets and mapped to custom buttons.

One click to go from Monitors to Headphone presets. I toggle downsampling depending on whether I'm actually working on the device at the same time which will cause stuttering.

Be careful about trying to get perfect response with EQ. Headphones and speakers can be a little position dependent. Over fixing to perfection for one position may have a negative impact if slightly off position.

Also be careful about the target response.

Here is a linky to a relatively old thread. Feel free to drop in :)

i do love me some Verilog <3 My research has got me writing all this SystemC for testbenches, which are important too, but man, i just want to get back to the Verilog

A lot of folks use direct C++ more over SystemC. Cuz it's kind of free. Particularly for system model test vectors (given to the ASIC dudes). For HDL sanity test benches, many folks stay in the Verilog realm. SystemC is a good skill though.

C++ is more of a pain than SystemC though given some of the data type stuff is taken care off.

They went from sounding sort of busted if I switched to them after another headphone, to sounding mostly excellent. What a mod

Speaking of DACs I got a great deal on a used Gungnir DS...this is what I’ve been missing for the last several years since I upgraded mine to the Gungnir Multibit

@SoupRKnowva , what do you find are the biggest diffs going from Gung MB to Gung DS?

@rlow You lose the intensity that Gungnir DS offers, which is something I value a great deal. Gungnir DS has this kinetic energy to its sound that I havent heard in any other DACs, though the Convert2 looks interesting.

hey @Lyer25 here you go, i took some out in the sun which accentuates the color vs how I see it inside. They are next to the 58X which is black https://imgur.com/a/vRkMnxb

Much obliged! And dang these look good. Kinda worried if it's a QC thing but eh, I'll give it a go. Thanks!

I agree, I think the super dark purple ish color ends up looking a lot better than the straight black does

I’ll be wearing mine to my coffin, just incase heaven is full of Beats, or hell is full of Beyers.

@BenjaminBore Oh bloody hell no...

IIRC I bought two 600s, two 650s, and one 580. Sticking with the 580.

I got ya Bro. Pmd.

#pillars posted about having some a couple days ago too.

@captkirk is doing me a solid, but thanks for the heads up
