    M50Xs are trash. Get some Creative Aurvana Live or AKG K553.

    Serious question. Do you try to make everything you say intentionally wrong? I have never seen you post one thing about anything that was even close to being correct.

    “Audio is subjective” is such a BS term. That’s only an excuse people with no idea use to justify crappy things.

    Oh also avoid sound cards like the plague. Get something like a Schiit stack or something.

    Don't get a receiver to use as a headphone amp. Get an actual headphone amp and DAC.

    Ok so when it comes to driving headphones there is two factors. Impedance and sensitivity. Think of it this way. So on a real headphone amp you will see power ratings given in mW at different ohm ratings. The impedance determines how much power a certain device can push to the headphones at their impedance. Then what happens after that is sensitivity comes into place. That is a measure of how power power in mW is needed to reach a certain volume. So it is actually possible to have a 16ohm headphone that is hard to drive than a 600ohm one. (There actually isn't an example of this in real life but it is possible) So you amp can put more power into 16ohms than 600ohms, but the 16ohm one could require a lot more power to reach a certain volume that the 600ohm one does.
     
    What a receiver gives as a rating impedance means basially nothing. And whatever you said about it saying 470ohms and the 1990s only being 250 is not that how that is calculated. Also sound cards are not good for high quality audio FYI.

    That is not how that works. The ohm rating means nothing at all.
    Impedance doesn't mean a headphone is hard to drive, sensitivity does.
    I don't even know where to start with this. Literally everything you said here is wrong.

    Arc is Crap, Origen is crap, Fulla is not very good, Stack is pretty good, JDS Labs Atom with OL DAC or Modi 3 is best.

    I mean Yamaha makes a lot of good and a lot of crap. They make a few decent studio monitors, their receivers are pretty decent, their headphones suck, and they are basically the industry leader in soundboards and mixers.

    Max_Settings got a reaction from 8uhbbhu8 in What is wrong with AMD   
    Why did they only make 5000? Because at a $699 price they are loosing money or breaking even on every card and Radeon VII was just to say they had the first 7nm GPU. They can make a GPU that competes with 2080 but if Radeon VII had normal margins it would be at least a $1000 card. They just don't have the capability to make the card at a competitive price. At this point you might as well forget AMD and wait for Intel to come out with GPUs. IMO Intel will compete with Nvidia before AMD ever does again.
