Kasenumi got a reaction from Bonnouji in Shoul i go with 3080ti if im using 2k monitor with 140 hz or should i go all out with 4090?
I'd wait till November 3 to see what AMD has to offer.
You will not be able to keep constant 144 fps in most of games.

Kasenumi got a reaction from Andreas Pedersen in Fractal Design Torrent vs Corsair 5000D Airflow
If you have money for Fractal Torrent - take it, there is currently no better airflow case on the market.
I have it since it's release, didn't even have to check any thermals.
Looks better than most of the fancy RGB cases. Air cooling does a fantastic job.
If you buy it, don't change or add any fans, the fabric fans are designed to offer the best possible performance with THIS case. Rear fan isn't needed.

Kasenumi reacted to Derkoli in Hi Fi speakers/ Studio monitors for 800$
The A5X VS the Focal Alpha 65's is actually a really hard decision for me. I own alot of Adam Audio stuff so I may be kind of biased.
You won't notice a maximum SPL difference between them. They're within 1dB of each other.
Really, I would pick the A5X's because of that damn tweeter. The Adam Audio ribbon tweeters sound absolutely amazing.

Also having a higher frequency than the actual like recording or file you listen to will automatically be downgraded and sound worse than it should. This is what I've read anyways.

Kasenumi reacted to svmlegacy in 24/32 bit and Hz
Yes, you get diminishing returns by raising the bits and sample rate.
32-bit 192 kHz is more for editing than listening. High frequency sounds benefit the most from this. For example: a 12 kHz sine wave will be sampled into by an entire 4 points in 48 kHz, while 192 will be able to sample it 16 times. 4 points gets you a triangle wave. 16 can start to look like a sine. Listen to cymbals to pick out the difference.
I don't know how true this is. It's kind of like playing a DVD on an HDTV. Regardless, no matter what media, it's only as good as the worst sampled part. LMG records at much higher than 4K for a reason.

Kasenumi reacted to an actual squirrel in 24/32 bit and Hz
The bit depth and sampling frequency can lower the inherent noise in the digital format. Once you are working with 24 bit audio, for playback, the bottleneck won't be the format, the bottleneck will be the dac quality, since no dac actually has an effective 24 bit resolution (the best dacs are going to be around 21 bits).
It is more useful for post work, since you can boost something low in the recording, and you don't have to worry as much about noise. It is similar to the example brought up about recording in more than 4k, so you can zoom in without as much quality loss.

Kasenumi reacted to an actual squirrel in 24/32 bit and Hz
Between the format and the dac, the dac will always be the bottleneck at 24 bit. There aren't dacs you can buy with 24 bit performance (144db dynamic range), it is like an engineering impossibility. According to audiosciencereview, that dac has 115db dynamic range, or around 19 bits of resolution.

Kasenumi reacted to rice guru in 24/32 bit and Hz
His dac is actually pretty good so it's not really too much of a concern. He runs a geshelli enog 2 pro I believe.

heeadphones are analog devices 24 and 32 bit settings dont affect your music its the file that does if you somehow have a file that is 32 bit @ 192000 hz then it can make a difference other wise set your dac to the max bitrate and frequency that you have in your music library. flacs are normally 44.1khz @16 or 24 bit
-
Kasenumi reacted to Tigerleon in 24/32 bit and Hz
You can't hear a difference. The max best audio setting is 24 bit 48khz. Not saying it is the best but you can't really hear over that

Kasenumi reacted to The Flying Sloth in RCA input/output question
If the DAC outputs are going in to the amp inputs then it's connected the right way. If you're getting sound out of it it's probably the right way.

Kasenumi reacted to HanZie82 in RCA input/output question
Does it work? Then yes.
Does it not work, we will need way more info then just the photo.
Like hardware specs or a picture of the back sides without cables so we can see the labels, etc.
(Also RCA cables have no direction. Its just a cable connected to a plug directly.)

Kasenumi got a reaction from nox_ in XLR to RCA adapter
I have just tried RCA 2X to 3.5 cable from Audioquest (Evergreen). It actually feels different. The sound is a bit more powerful. I dont know, maybe it is only my imagination but I have been using regular RCA for some time and the new cable...The sound is 5% quieter on the same level of volume but it feels more powerful, more full, sound effects like shooting and explosions are even more real and "have shape".
The noise is almost gone.
-
Kasenumi reacted to rice guru in XLR to RCA adapter
a good quality cable can make a difference over a cheap rca cable so nice.
-
Kasenumi reacted to The Flying Sloth in XLR to RCA adapter
The noise is due to better shielding, the rest, likely placebo.

Kasenumi reacted to Derkoli in XLR to RCA adapter
Don't bother with balanced, unless both the Amp and DAC do balanced properly. Balanced is great for noise/interference rejection, but converting it to unbalanced makes the noise rejection advantage pretty pointless.
Audioquest cables are amazingly well made, but won't make a difference to the sound.
I actually find AmazonBasics Toslink cables to be quite well made, if you want to save some money.
Also take a look at Blue Jeans cables, They're well made, pretty affordable and overall a good and trustworthy company who don't make any silly claims about their products, And they've had some pretty damn funny legal exchanges with Monster Cable.

Xlr is for balanced amps with the liquid spark go rca.

Kasenumi reacted to HumdrumPenguin in XLR to RCA adapter
These cables are actually good choices, although I don’t think you could hear much of a difference anyway.
Forget about balanced.
-
Kasenumi reacted to The Flying Sloth in XLR to RCA adapter
Don't bother with XLR if you're converting to an unbalanced connection, just use unbalanced the whole way.

You have optical audio out on your motherboard....

if you have spdif out on your mnotherboard I would use that

1, Any RCA cable will do so long as it is shielded
2, If your PC doesn't have S/PDIF you will need something external to handle that though I'm not sure the UCA222 is the best option
3, That's TOSLINK, yes, the digital cable used to connect optical S/PDIF
