Youcould have directed it at haiburi
But for the stx, all you need is the right pcie slot on your mobo. And done. Most motherboards should come with the one it needs
But why stx? The project H should measure and be much better
@manveru
Side buttons? That could work as i will only be using optical
How about
Power button and light on front with jack and knob. Gain and i/o switching on the back?
How about glossy black color so it matches my audio gd? :P

 

True. And this is like the starving student project lol

 

Oh well

Well, for comparison of course! Plus, I think I'm using that for gaming and Project H for music. That is, if the STX IS for gaming

 

No back button please

Glossy = fingerprint magnet

LOL!

Dunno how long is your flight, but I always just sleep the whole flight so that I won't feel the pain in my ears

We had discussion on it last week.
It is in the same time period as code geass and makes references to it but it focuses on another part of the world. As it was made after code geass and needs to be interesting. It has many continuity issues but hey. Its a movie. Its cool smily_headphones1.gif
Check it out

 

I'm a patient man

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?

 

Okaerinasai~

How's your imouto doing?

I picture 24TB instead.
Or less but then in a RAID config.
I don't really care, to be honest. I should get a new HDD sometime soon, but otherwise I find my 2.5TB total more than enough.

 

I think making an enclosure for the headphones is harder. Though I may be wrong

 

My total storage of 5.5TB isn't enough (not yet anyway)

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?

 

The thing that should be missing are the buttons at the back.

It's subjective. I wanna know how's an objectivist's answer LOL

I think I like the manga version only. What was the last of S2? Haven't watch it yet

Isn't the original O2 does not have op-amps? I wonder if it's possible to hear the amp with and without the op-amp

It reminded me of two things:
1) In these kinds of shows they always portray human behavior a bit off... I mean seriously, when does hating your rivals as much as they do here ever occur in the real world? Sure you can hold a grudge, but out right hating them? And multiple people on top of that? Furthermore, the relationship between the protagonist and his girlfriend is very unrealistic.
2) I don't like how shounen stories like this make almost zero progress. I would love to see Light spoiler. The content is obvious after watching even episode 1 only (Click to show)
The protagonist and his girlfriend finally get married after all this time, but I don't see it happening any time soon. Despite the fact that the story could easily be continued after that. The problem is probably that the mangaka is to lazy to come up with a new motive for the story to keep on going after that happens.
I think the story could be much better if the artist chooses to make it end at a specific time to build up towards a really good ending, instead of desperately trying to keep the story going until the point where it goes down the drain and then making a half-assed ending. I've seen this happen too often in both manga and long-running Western series alike.

 

I think the manga went downhill or unpopular in the rankings. So that's why it ended too quickly. Plus, the objective was set since the beginning. Siko gets an anime and marry Miho. Since both was achieved, the author ended the story. Plus, I'm sure the readers don't want another extended series*cough*narutobleach*cough*

Good night.

 

You could have ordered it when you need the extra parts if somethiong went wrong. Like build with what you have. And if there was something wrong, then only you order the replacement and the part you forgot. If everything should work as intended, then only order the part you forgot

As for the I/O thing. This is how I understand it. There is one button and just one button. We've been referring to it as the "I/O button." Pushing the button toggles between two states. Let's call these States X & Y.

 

State X = Internal DAC and amp are in use. In other words, DAC accepts USB or coax input, which is then sent to and output from the headphone amplifier.

 

State Y= DAC and amp are disconnected from each other and now function as two separate units. The DAC accepts USB or coax input and outputs from it's RCA line outs on the back. The headphone amp will only receive any analog signal coming from it's own separate RCA line ins.

 

About state Y. I'm assuming both the AMP and DAC are on since I don't think you have channeled the power separately. I think

So wat are your plans? An STX or this?

 

Dude, I told you I said yes (though I don't think I can help funding it, but I'll pay the full price of the finished product)

And also, the STX comes when I will be getting my own desktop. So, that is at least, next year

Fully confirmed now, it is animated by diff studio though. But with same "staff", no idea what they mean by staff, animating staff or voice artisits

 

I can believe this one because the first time they announced the S2 was on april first

 

WOOT! WOOT!

Though I just wish the LN is translated regularly. Even the anime is more than the translated LN

Ah...I love April. Why? Because my birthday is usually on the same day as the spring release

I think the same "staff" refers to the same cast. I mean, who want's to hear a different voice from the original cast right? I think this is like when Ironman's partner in the first movie =/= the second movie

Really? Though I have never watched To Love-Ru to see if the drawing is the same or not

@graph

I was trying to compromise with Haibu's desire for nothing on the front, but with at least basic functionality on the front, haha. Everything's going to end up on the front anyway. Boris already ordered buttons and buttons don't make any sense on the back. I think Haibu doesn't like it, hehe. Well, mayhaps he can pay a little more for his own fancier custom case if boris didn't mind? I like minimalist looking stuff, but I also like the mad scientist contraption DIY look as well, and I already think it's amazing that boris is even doing this in the first place so I won't be too picky :)

 

And yes, when in state Y they would both be powered on, but acting as separate units.

post #34338 of 79240

LOL. Majority will always win!

True, can't be too picky or else make our own amp

 

Well, I thought it'll be a waste to just leave both on instead of the one you are using to be turned on only. Oh well

Perhaps, but having them in the same box yet completely separate with their own power supplies and whatnot would be kind of weird, not to mention bulky, wouldn't it? I'm not aware of any DAC/amps on the market where you have to power the DAC and amp section separately...

Not really, the hate J.C Staff receives is more due to the ratio of good shows to bad shows they create. Not to mention the endless Shana clones they spew out. I'd imagine very few fans with the capability to actually hate a production studio don't know exactly what shows that studio has created. 

I think everyone needs to do away with their expectations for a godlike anime since Little Busters is not as KyoAni work. Also, I wonder about the voice acting. They're just using the same VAs as the game aren't they? 

It's just sad that one of Key's works gets to have such a bad animation. I gave the first episode a 5/10, which means it's highly unlikely I'll ever really like the show no matter how good the plot is.
It's just such a waste.


Maybe KyoAni should make a remake a couple years later as with Kanon.

I think most high schools don't have such educational licenses. Perhaps a university does, like how I can get free licenses of Visual Studio and Mathematica, for example.

Except I forgot to order a PCB.
And it wasn't a replacement part. It's a completely new part I didn't have before. It was the PCB of the power switching board.

Yes, the DAC and Amp are powered on at the same time.

I should study Japanese.
Been neglecting my studies for the past few weeks. ¬_¬

I have two hours until I need to go to school. Guess I'll just study in those two hours.

Reaching JLPT 1 in three years seems a lot less realistic than I thought at first, after speaking to a third year Japanology student who barely reaches JLPT 2 despite studying it far more than I do.
I guess this is where my willpower and determination has to come in.
