Jeans are not meant to be run in...
Otherwise they are imo the most comfortable type of cloth to wear. Though I still think that a good pair of jeans (any type of cloths, really) is just ridiculously expensive.

Exactly. But I like to run around even when wearing long pants so I want something that's light, durable, and comfortable. Denim feels very stiff and heavy, but it's pretty durable...still, I don't like how they feel but I can't find any other pants with such a dark color or durability except for some black khakis/uniform pants.

Finally, my Fostex T50RP has finally arrived.

And damn, for the price, they sound absolutely great!
It has excellent detail retrieval, punchy bass and a sublime midrange although they do come with flaws. First of all, it's not very comfy. Second, the bass is punchy but it lacks at the lower frequencies and last, its treble seems a bit rolled off but I'm really excited and can't wait to mod them. Problem is, I don't know where to buy the materials...
Oh and I'll leave this.

A friend saw my drawings and he wanted one just for him. Well this is it and I'm pleased with the finished result.

*drools*
 
Nice drawing.

I wonder if everyone in Psycho-Pass's world is a Fuura Kafuka, only with different levels of awesomitude severity.

LOL.

Hm. Rather disheartening. I wonder how much of that exactly is the EMU? Some of the cheap audio interfaces can be quite noisy...I'm biased in how I want the results to turn out of course, but still...

This.
 
I don't really care too much tbh.

BTW the HDAC is virtually Project-H sans casing right? Or am I wrong?

What?

Well, unless you plan on buying me a multi-thousand dolor measurement system we'd never know...

O_o; routing error? :c. Isn't that like the fault of whoever you bought it off of?

It's my fault.... because I designed it.... lol

No, it's just the DAC. There's an O2 amp, and then the controller board that Boris designed.

True. 

 Later on I can try taking some more measurements on a few of the interfaces I have access to though.

See, manveru gets it. He understands my dumb.

I feel tempted to get a Yulong U100...I don't know why.
 
Edit: Or a Yulong Crystal DA w/ an O2, even though it's more expensive. *shrugs*
 
Anyways, I like the look of Yulong units.

 

[jgray91]

Then design the case like the Yulong. :x

 

[bowei006]

Yeah the measurements include the interface so it doesnt really matter in the end.


I may look into the t50rp
How much is the cheapest good mod?


Psycho pass... Yeah. Its quite weird with the talking gun

Do you mean DIY, or something somebody else builds for you? The materials to do it yourself shouldn't be too expensive on their own, but they will probably add up considerably if you go all out and use most/all of them. Here's that part of BMF's thread I mentioned earlier:

Thanks ill look into it

@eve and 2890
There is no description from me about the measurements. He is measuing the dac usiing a consumer $200 unit. So those measurements mean very little in any way

Just watched the infamous "Triumph Of The Wil"  It's crap. Maybe pretty, but still crap...

 

[bowei006]
