I suggest (and I work in IT as a computer technician) the MeLe Quieter 4C. It has a 12th gen intel N series CPU so it's plenty fast, 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, which is enough for music streaming, and it is upgradeable via SD card. Also, it has USB C and the best part is its completely...

That was it. Solved it. Thanks :)

I'm having an issue when I use my BTR5 2021 wired via USB to my phone where it seems like if I dont interact with the phone and just let music play after about two songs the music stops until I touch my phone. What's going on and how do I fix this? I'm new to dongles and only have BTR5 and UP4...

You can't use external HIFI components with Bathys. The DAC mode is just wired mode via USB instead of wireless mode via bluetooth. In either case you'd be connected to a phone, tablet, or PC. You can't use an external DAC amp with the Bathys (You can but the signal goes ADC>DSP>DAC in the...

I just updated to the latest Bathys firmware about 4 hours ago and have been listening on my samsung phone in DAC mode ever since. Just put them down now. Something has changed with this firmware. I always though the Bathys were good, but they were somehow "dirty" sounding and I couldn't explain...

It's been a couple of weeks and the game runs ok now. It's not a fun racer, disappointingly, but it runs ok.

Grounded is a surprisingly fun survival game that I enjoy despite being awful at it (And all games, honestly). The map isn't large but it's a neat concept. It's on PC/Xbox not sure about PS5.

In my opinion the best sound you can get for this price range is Hifiman HE400SE but if bass is what you're after they may not be the best option. Others have recommended the Shure SRH840A and I second that. I own both headphones. The HE400SE will need a pretty decent amp but you can run the...

Thanks for the tip. Are the grills easy to replace without damaging the drivers?

DAC mode still worked on my S23 phone after MIMI. Just wanted to share for anecdotal fact, in case anybody wants to contact focal support. You can email them btw they respond pretty fast.

I've been with Tidal since 2015 and I realize it's nowhere near the best quality I could get but I'm a sucker for convenience and all my music is on all my devices automatically. Anyways, I had heard several times that Qobuz was somehow better, so I signed up for the free trial and listened to 3...

I wouldn't eat Norwegian salmon if you paid me. It's not ethically farmed. Fish are crammed shoulder to shoulder in pens and that overcrowding breeds disease requiring medication. Very toxic meds are used. This is all fact.

You like the X3? I only managed to get an hour of use total out of mine before I couldn't stand them anymore. Trying to sell them right now. I also had the 9500, which I like, so I got the 9600, which I hate. Planning to give those to my dad. Honestly though K7 is capable of so much more than...

For making music you really want a studio headphone that won't color the music you hear and will give you an accurate representation of what you're hearing. I really like the Shure SRH840A they're very affordable and punch way above their price. They have been called one of the better studio...

Hifiman Ananda Stealth... In about 10 mins I'm thinking of swapping over to HD600 though.
