Youtube comments and Reddit seem to be fond of the idea. I'd love to see Linus with a Fairphone 5

Update: Literally minutes after I made this post, I made a baffling discovery. TLDR: the fault is the DAC. So all along, I had the DAC's RCA outputs connected to my speaker amp. An SMSL SA300. But I had it turned off, as I have no reason to have it running if I only want headphones. Well, I dont know how and why, but turning the amp on fixes the headphone output of the DAC. I assume there is some foolery going around with resistances. I dont know. So I guess PSA, if you buy the DAC X6, with the intent of also connecting the back RCAs to something, make sure you can keep the other device powered too, else the DAC distorts the headphone sound. And upon further testing, this issue affects the USB input too. The price of a cheap DAC. It's has quirks.

I have recently bought a DAC+Headphone amp. It's the FX Audio DAC-X6. It was cheap on Drop, thought it would be a good entry level DAC for me. But it seems to be having a problem. Connecting it to my computer via an optical cable, the headphone amp distorts. No matter the volume level. If I turn windows's volume down specifically, but turn the DAC up, the distortion is gone. The RCA outputs are not affected. What is faulty here? I've googled around, reinstalled, uninstalled the Realtek drivers, disabled dolby enhancments, but nothing. I feel kind of bad having to turn windows's volume down, to get an enjoyable headphone experience. And no, I can not use USB, as I am using the USB input for my nintendo switch. The main reason I got a DAC in the first place. My monitor speakers dont do justice to the switch's games' sound. Oh and if it means anything, I'm using a DT770 PRO 80ohm. Have I gotten a faulty dac? Is realtek to be blamed?

Which consoles and handhelds do you own?
Nabalazs replied to Kawaii Koneko's topic in Console Gaming
Game Boy Advance (the worse backlit one) Game Boy Advance (the proper backlit one) DSLite Switch Not too hardcore on consoles. Though I aprechiate them more and more. If the PS5 is back compatible, I'm buying one day 1, just for those sweet ps4 exclusives -
Thanks for the giveaway guys! I'd like a new keyboard, because I'm running a Logi K360, which is while a very functional keyboard, for extensive amounts of text typing and generally gaming, not so much. And I like LEDs. They are shiny.

I have an aging Samsung hard drive. It does do it's job, but an SSD would be... let's see... over 9000% faster. Oh and, everyone should have an SSD, because I'm going nuts by clicking HDDs.

Obviously the size of this thing is breathtaking. But more importantly for me, the M.2 SSD, and the GPU. Like, DAMMIT that box literally has more horsepower than my desktop PC. So yeah. I would be my new computer.

I'd recommend the EUROCOM Shark 4. HardwareCanucks showed it off recently, and it got my attention. Basically what you need, maybe a little thicker than what you'd feel confortable taking to school, but make a judgement yourself. http://www.eurocom.com/ec/configure(1,275,0)ec EDIT: Someone just suggested the ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71, and it also seems pretty dam good. Though I've never heared of it, so I cant actually tell whats up.

The way I take photos, its selective focus. Definetly.

The MOST Compact Gaming PC - Titan X & 18 Core Xeon in a Shoebox
Nabalazs replied to LinusTech's topic in LTT Releases
Sooooo... Um.... Wow. I have no words. That tiny thing is awesome. Of course a 5820x or a 4790k would be better. (Duh cpt obvious) Aaaand 16Gig ram. (Again, cpt obvious) But I always eyeballed with compact systems, and this just gave me a Kreygasm. And as far as I could tell from your reactions, temps were also not only acceptable, but actually good? Hot diggidy!! But you didn't mentions acoustics. Was it louder due to the lack of rubber dampeners? And did you end up using that noctua fan? Where did it even fit? Oh, and chat! Would you recommend such a compact build as a first ever pc build? I mean, is it more complicated than a normal midtower case to work in? Or just in general. Is the compactness worth it over possible higher temps, if I don't intend on pushing it to the limits? -
I'm rocking with a dual cote HT CPU. I find it enough, even though I'm a tab whore, but it just barely handles it. (and maybe ram speeds play in it too) I consider quad core a necesseity nowdays. Averedge Joe will have a long lasting PC with it. But I'm getting into 3D modelling, and I tend to stream and game, so I think I could make use of 6 cores. I thing 6 is THE sweet spot. Maybe 6core HT? Anyone?

Most often, when you hear the word crowded, you either think about GPUs suffocating each other, or unmanaged cables. But since I have none of those, life throws me somthing else to scratch my head about. My USB hub. Now, you could say, I could just plug some stuff innto my front ports. But its a little more complicated than that, I wont go into it. Just something I tought I'd share
