  1. i dont leave my system on. I shut it down everyday, i almost only use it 1-2 hours everyday.
  2. As title says. I managed to sync both hardware components under Armoury Crate. It all works fine, but everytime i reboot i need to enter to Armoury Crate again, unlink and link again both of them in order to sync with the same rgb effect. I have uninstalled an installed everything again and in different order, but with same results. I have no clue at why the configuration doesnt stay fixed. Edit: Havent found help for this. There are a lots of posts about RGB problems, and i know its a bit of complex since different brands have their own solutions. Anyhow, i havent come across any posting about this particular problem. What bugs me is that armoury crate makes them work fine, the problem comes up after every reboot.
  3. Hi, well, yes and no.. Gigabyte hasnt confirmed what the SA means, but they did answer me that the -p has to be in the name for the product to have display port 1.4 and hence hbr3. So, the two models should be: FI27Q-SA FI27Q-P-SA In here, stores have the non -p variant, so im waiting if the -p ever comes (in the store they told me it Will arrive soon...). Anyway, let me tell you this... its not that big of a difference... the non -p versión is a great monitor as is. Check out the tech yes City comparison of both. The only thing that makes me wait for the -p is a rumour on some forum that said those panels are cherry picked... but Who knows.
  4. Thanks, but i already know the difference between fi27q and fi27q-p. Im asking about the FI27Q-SA!!!
  5. Can Anyone help me find the specs for this monitor??? Gigabyte doesnt answer. I live in uruguay and this is the only aorus available. I can imagine that the SA means "south america". Which would be bad, since companies tend to have worse products and warranty in this region. Anyway, i ask because i wanna know if this would be a plain FI27Q or a FI27Q-P, since i would only spend my money on the later (because it will deliver what the standard version promised and didnt deliver). I did my research but cant find any info, and again, gigabyte doesnt answer....
  6. ok, since i really apreciated the feedback and advice from you all, i wanted to maybe close this post with my impressions on the SHP9500. It can be an answer to any of you for your advice, or maybe it could be a discussion starter with me, or even better, it could help someone out too. After around a month with them, i can confirm they are pretty good. Again, im no expert, just starting in this, so i wont say something stupid like they are the best or anything, but they are pretty good, and hands down waaay better than i imagined them to be. Ill elaborate why: I can hear a lot of stuff i never heard before, in songs i know from start to finish!. Now im constantly searching for songs i knew all over again, and im impressed about how much one misses when you dont have a decent pair of headphones. Of course, its a subtle thing... if you dont care much about music, anything will do fine. But if (for example) you enjoy when you notice a little sound in a song that you missed before, you are gonna love having these headphones. To put it short... just try them, these wont break the bank. On other parameters... they seem pretty durable (already dropped and stepped on them... and they are totally fine), and really really confy, altough i would like them to be more tight. I have a small head (i guess), and using them in the shortest postition, they fit alright. But a smaller head may have some problems i guess. They are pretty breathable. I dont seem to have any disconfort from them even after a couple of hours. Maybe the fact they are so loose contributes to a more confortable fit overall. So... to sum up... "cheap" (i would say "reasonable priced") hi fi headphones. I guess they are an excelent starting point. Im really satisfied and happy with them. Oh and you dont seem to need any amp or anything to use them at full specs. Loudness is good... oh, and i dont really know if this is exactly what people call it "imageing", but you can clearly identify the instruments and sounds of a song like... coming from specific places, spacially speaking (pardon my english...). That was a really notorious thing to me too, its was like "wow... this is new to me". Before i was like "duh, of course you can identify instruments in any headphones (???) O_o) but now i notice its not the same... i dont know how to put it but its like you are in the middle of the band playing. Every instrument comes from a specific place and distance, and with the shp9500 is like you can really identify everyone of them and point to the source. With my other headphones they are all like mixed up. So again... thanks everyone, and maybe sooner than later ill be asking about a better pair
  7. I went with the shp9500. Im waiting the shipping now. Return policy dont matter to me because im in another country so sending something back and home again costs too much so it isnt worth it. So... ill tell you what i think about them when i get them. Thanks to all. Btw, If they aint awesome, its ok, at least i didnt break the bank
  8. Thanks everybody for your insights, really much appreciated, everyone. Homeap5 ill check that video soon, thanks. Popa2Caps you didnt confused me man, lol, and no need to be sorry I understood your advices.... i felt that, im getting more info that i can handle... I usually do though, the problem is that with audio is more difficult. For example, how do i know if i prefer closed back or open back headphones if i haven tried open back? I guess the on-ear sonys i mentioned i have can be considered closed, but i dont know how open backs sound. Maybe i love them, maybe i dont. But i was thinking that even though i purchase the shp9500 and i hate them, at least i have good open back headph ones around. I worry most for the other stuff, the dacs, amps, etc... annd how i can get the best of the headphones i may use. Buying all that stuff can make the price go really high and wasnt sure what to get or what i needed. I now know that i may be ok with just the headphones or the interface when i get it, which i will sooner or later. For the moment, with the coronavirus and all... im bitting myself trying to not pull the trigger since stuff can get really ugly fast. Im kinda decided to get the shp9500, and the focusrite scarlett 4i4 interface. But i guess im gonna have to get the focusrite some other time because it will be too much money in one sitting. About the shp9500... im between pulling the trigger now, because i dont wanna miss them since they can get out of stock... and waiting for them to get cheaper than the 74 dollars they are now... i may just get them and if they get cheaper... well.. ill say hi again to my friend, "the buyers remorse" i guess...
  9. Ok, i wanna be precise, so be prepared to read... bear with me. So... im new to the world of audio entusiast. Im pretty ignorant on the subject, and even though i have been watching some audiophile youtubers like Z Review, metal571, Joshua Valour, Badseed Tech (and of course techquickie), and reading in forums about the subject, im still trying to figure stuff out. Im about to buy the Philips Shp9500 headphones, which i believe are great headphones, specially for the price (and thats important because again, im new to this, i dont wanna spend a small fortune and not be able to apreciate it). I feel pretty confident about them being good, specially with the review made by the Rtings site about them. The other ones i was considering were the Philips Fidelio X2HR, but at double the price, i believe that the quality increase may only be marginal. Philips SHP9500 specs: Impedance: 32 ohm, maximum power input: 200Mw, sensitivity: 101 dB, speaker diameter: 50mm, Frequency response: 12-35 000Hz The best headphones in my posesion right now are Sony MDRzx110nc. Beyond those, i never had any good headphones, so again, im new to this HI-RES audio thing. THE QUESTION: Do i need to buy a DAC or AMP or DAC/AMP for those headphones??? i read that they dont need any, but that the sound may be better with an amp. If thats the case i was aiming towards the Sound Blaster G6 (or a FiiO K3 DSD256) The thing is that i own an ASUS STRIX x370-F motherboard, and i believe that i may no need a DAC, but maybe i do need an AMP. The strix has the following audio specs: ROG SupremeFX 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC S1220A - Dual Headphone Amplifiers - Impedance sense for front and rear headphone outputs - Supports : Jack-detection, Multi-streaming, Front Panel Jack-retasking - High quality 120 dB SNR stereo playback output and 113 dB SNR recording input - SupremeFX Shielding Technology - Supports up to 32-Bit/192kHz playback *2 I DONT UNDERSTAND how asus can say that it supports 32-bit/192khz playback, which i believe is "studio quality", if the headphones that may be connected to them may need an amp to deliver that kind of quality. Is that some kind of bluffing asus did or there is something im not understanding well? ALSO, and this may be the most important thing, i was considering to buy an audio interface soon to record some guitar playing, since its been years since i dont play and wanted to make a comeback. For that, i was aiming to get a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (3rd Gen), and i came across a post that stated that with an audio interface like that, you dont need a DAC or an AMP for the headphones, because they are part of that audio interface. The focusrite scarlett 2i2 (3rd gen) relevant spec: A/D Resolution 24-bit/192 kHz If i connect that audio interface to my motherboard i will be limited to those 24-bit? if the asus can deliver 32-bit, i dont want to be limited by the audio interface. What should i do then? Hope someone can help me, i know the post is long but its because even though i made my research, the subject is kinda overwhelming, even more since i dont own anything like these products, so im walking in the dark here.
  10. Its one of the best neutral sound headphones out there, at a cost now of 75 in Amazon, competing with headphones that costs 300. Im gonna buy them. And then im gonna buy a dac/amp. I dont know why people thrash unexpesive yet incredible products. OF COURSE there are better headphones, but the raise in quality is only marginal compared to the raise in added cost. Its all about value man...
  11. what mesh panel? i dont see any mesh panel in the pictures.
  12. Just bought the h710. Great case. Top 25% in airflow as stated from tech Jesus (gamer nexus). I wouldnt worry about temps at that Level. If you do you can go with something else of course. But my humble opinion is that at that level of performance, functionality and aesthetics are more important than a few degrees. If we are walking about the h510 or h510elite i get it, those seems bad to the point you cant justify them if you Care even a little by performance. But the h710 is good. On another point... what do you think of the h710 size? I Like it but its kinda massive, isnt it?
  13. Thanks for the answer to all of you. Why you say the h510 wont get here at all? is there a problem with nzxt? My country is usually half a year or even a year behind new tech products coming Thanks fopr the NR600 recommendation. I really liked it. The thing is it isnt available here (Uruguay)... Theres a lot of offer of sharkoon and cougar cases, but i dont know if those are quality cases... Im done with second class stuff. I want a decent, sleak case that lasts me for a while. Im using now an antec GX700, which is a cool case, good airflow, tons of expandability, but having a new system in it, rgb and all, im wanting a glass panel to look at it and not hide the PC under the desk, since the GX700 is looking kinda "childish" to me now,.. so, i was aiming to the looks of a h500 or the said NR600 do have. BTW, i recently looked at a hardware canuks video of the Lian Li LANCOOL II, and i could dig that LOL. Nice case. But again, thats just out, and i have never seen a lian li case here T_T I finally got the h710 from nzxt
  14. I would want the h510 élite to be honest, even knowing it has worse thermals... but in my country there is just the h500 red and blue available... im wondering if its worth the wait (if they ever come)
