I'm taking a break/quitting GW2, don't really have the motivation to play it anymore. I gave out my fortune to random friends I made in-game. There goes about 500 hours of playtime over the past month and a half, crazy.

I don't think I've used the headphone rig at all in that time, it's time to power up and listen to some tunes.

Oh, new season's started, anything good?

Shinsekai yori is kind of good too from what I see. Hopefully all the hope and hype that people put by saying that it's great based only on ep. 1 would be crushed at the end of the season. Just schadenfreude.
BTOOOM! seems okay-ish too. A better Huger Games (movie).
That's it from what I watch currently. There's also the other group-of-dumb-wannabe-cute-girls anime shows if you're into those kinds of things. Also more KyoAni flavoured chubby fat sack excuse of cute girls. And JCStaff's. And the other companies' pandering style of chubby fat sacks excuse for cuteness.

Also Magi seems good too. It's been a long time since I read the manga, so I don't care if it doesn't follow it though. This is one thing I don't want it to do a GC. Although I don't know what it would like to imitate though since this is a manga first, not like GC. Well 'to do a GC' is a phrase now, so yeah.

Got the answer.

 

USB takes priority over coax.

 

They then sent me a picture which apparently shows the dimensions on it, but I can't look at it because apparently one needs an eBay HK account to do so? Here's the link (I don't know if this will work or not):

I don't know if this is how it works, but what do you think about putting a lock indication on the front panel instead of 96kHz? This would actually be a useful thing to have and seems to make way more sense.

Good luck in Georgia bowei.
It seems like we need 2 cases for project H, one that's wider and has more lights, buttons, ect on the front and then one that is longer and more minimalist, like Hybrid's design.

Excuse my ignorance, but what would a "lock" do on a DAC?

Blender can't import .STEP files. Here's the import selection menu.

 

 

 

I believe you can export in .wrl.

@tilpo, aww too bad. Well I've touched both of those in manga form, so it's a given that I must now watch it. In fact, Jojo's BA is one of the first thing that I hardcore marathon to the point of not sleeping. I can't remember the last time I did that kind of marathon. I guess I did once for Oyasumi Punpun. It got me very very very depressed though.

Boris explained it to me earlier. The I/O button switches between internal and external mode. Internal means it uses the internal DAC and amp. External means DAC line out and amp line in are active. Pushing the button toggles between the two states.

 

I'd really prefer power and I/O button on the front. I will be using the I/O button very frequently in my setup, so it would be annoying to have it in the back. It's a more important and basic function than gain I think anyway. If everyone else is ok with that of course. I haven't noted any real objections to gain being on the back from anybody, so I think it makes more sense for that to be on the back.

 

I don't know if boris has already bought the buttons or not, but maybe if we used some smaller ones, we would be able to retain a more minimalist aesthetic for Haibu while simultaneously keeping all the functionality of having front panel controls?

 

---

 

Anyways, to sum up, this is my vote:

 

Front: Power, I/O button, headphone out, volume, whatever LEDs we need (USB and coax at the very least?)

Back: Gain, power supply jack, USB & coax, DAC RCA line out, amp RCA line in

 

Missing anything? What say the rest of you?

it looks horrible....

 

I've bought buttons and connectors for 1 unit.

but then other buttons stick out too much...
