yes, but Bunny DSP is the most versatile if you mess with the app, however... you'd likely need a usb-c extension for PC

so my bunny usb-c dsp cable just broke. not sure how exactly, just woke up, put them on and left side didn't work, checked the cable and found that the connection between it and it's left pin rotates, but the right one stays still. maybe it lost the connection due to a severe tangle, dunno
anyways, any good replacement cable? don't want dongles, and definitely not another bunny cable

This just went on sale, should I get it? I've never used a dac/amp before always just plugged my shitty usb headset into the back of my pc. I'm building a new pc though and got a couple of decent headphones so I'm thinking it might be a good time to try them out. What do you think is it worth it?
>>
>>106974033
nope. klanars sold for $80 or less brand new and retro nano is a plastic piece of shit barely worth $40.
you overpaid for used gear.

I'll take my chances, don't want to spend 200 dollars on tech I know nothing about. It has a lot of good reviews and not just on amazon, I'm not an audiophile so I probably wouldn't even notice the difference between it and some super expensive one. Just want to get my foot in the door so to speak.

very off-topic as far as pos goes. go back to /b/

>>106974002
yeah both work fine, one 2pin just dead

a recessed socket one? the only other mention of recessed 2pin is one with some plastic on top of the pins, don't look like it would fit

>>106973895
>11.11
is it a sale?
i prefer a new cable, wouldn't want the new one to break too and end up with 2 pairs and no usb-c cables
its my first iem too so i'd rather try another brand/model if i'm getting a new one.

>>106973941
cant find any usb-c, though bit tempting at 1.89 for spares
>>
>>106974600
a finn invented it, indians push autoeq, peqdb, squig, etc. why would you ever think your statement mattered?
>>
>>106974510
He probably thinks more hertz = more fast, that's why he bought a dongle 4 times slower than apple dongle.

it's good for its price and functions as it should. are you the anon that got rec'd it a couple threads ago?

bunny needs a 2pin made for a recessed socket, and chinks call it recessed 2pin, that's what i meant

Literally only matters if you don't EQ.
>>
>>106974641
Yeah, I was waiting hoping there would be a sale and today it popped up. Figure the worst that happens is I can't tell a difference and I return it. I like the idea of having a remote though, the headphones I got don't have a little knob thing to adjust the volume, it would be a pain in the dick to have to tab out and change it on my pc every time I wanted to turn the volume up or down.

how is time domain relevant to IEMs?
>>
>>106975379
IEMs have a source, whether it's the chip built into TWS or a dac+amp dongle. Source usually decides the real sample rate and how the samples are generated before getting turned into analog. Indians struggle with this field of engineering.
>>
>>106975418
..Okay
>Source usually decides the real sample rate and how the samples are generated before getting turned into analog
Sure and? Why is this a rebuttal to IR=FR and where's "time domain" coming into paly?
>Indians struggle with this field of engineering.
Aren't you a little bit too obsessed with indians? So far all I'm seeing is you struggling to explain what you meant by time domain.
>>
>>106975497
can we get back to time domain tho?

>>106976553
measure your HRTF first
also measure FR of your POS inside your ears
then EQ for response to follow your HRTF
ez
>>
>>106976721
How to do that?
>>
>>106976721
HRTF changes with the angle of incidence. Since you're a noob, probably you meant diffuse-field, but no one likes rawdogging DF either. Lurk more.

Always. Your brain determined how the IEM is going to sound even before you clicked the order button.

>Just buy a good headpos with low Fs
good headpos with low Fs literally does not exist
also you are exaggerating.. achieving consistent fit with pos is not that hard
