Got the first one replaced due to a power issue for free, they aren't amazing but they do the job for cheap.
Brayden Perry
I put sub-100 so i could have a little more wiggle room,it can be like $80 or a little more. just wanted something alright that can do the job without dying on me. i appreciate the rec though
Carter Parker
no clue what that is.
Connor Brown
yes?
Jordan Johnson
dont buy lepai garbage. It literally the same as your shitty mobo out. Get a jds labs atom or if you cant or want to save some money by building a kit an objective 2
Tyler Cox
by the way how much do you niggers think I need to spend on a vintage amp/receiver if I dont want sub 50 watt garbage ? The recent hipster vinyl craze has caused a huge price hike. If you can hook me up with a common and cheap model that would be nice. Silver colorway only tho. black lovers need no apply.
Gabriel Wilson
I didn't pay more than $30 for anything in the pic. But most of these were lucky gets, and a couple needed minor repairs.
Brody James
Jelly. Sanyo is usally very cheap and some yamahas too but holy shit that HUEG yamaha power amp. Easily sold for 1k. There were a few of these what is the exact model ?
is that a JVC ja-s77 in the middle? If it is do yo think 50 bucks would be a nice price ?
Cute cd player btw
Nicholas Hall
Objective 2
Also search for nwavguy (the designer)
Joshua Davis
That Yamaha brick in the lower left is glorious.
Kayden Miller
I'd like to have an input for my PC and for my phone so I can listen to both at the same time. I've tried plugging my phone into my pc but it leaves a lot to be desired desu
Julian Powell
I have a similar Yamaha amp that no longer works. Comes on and lights up, but no sound output. Are there any good references on amp repair you could point me toward? Im no stranger to soldering.
Hunter Wood
Jds atom
Ayden Taylor
amp or ampdac?
just an amp: magni 3 is pretty good. monoprice shills will reply to this and say it's bad, but it's the best in the $99 range that I've found.
Angel Robinson
It's bad because it's shit(t). Shitt is notorious for garbage build quality and qc with units kicking the bucket for no fucking reason and destroying headphones. It's also crushed in the sound department by the jds Atom which is proven to the best you can get short of getting an actual balanced amp. Also customer service is a nightmare with the guy on the other side openly telling customers that they can fuck off. If they awnser at all. Garbage brand that not even redditards want to have anything to do with them anymore
Sebastian Ortiz
Sounds exactly like something a jds shill would say. Hmmm
Cooper Carter
wasting money on an amp with gaymen headset, baka
Aaron Martin
Sounds exactly like what a redditard would say. Post magni measurements if you have the balls faggot.
Noah Gomez
>ask for as a birthday present
Wtf. What man over elementary school age still asks mommy and daddy for presents
>mommy heres my list of demands
Your parents should of beat you for asking then maybe you wouldn't turn out to be such a manbaby. Get a job and buy it yourself. Seriously you have to be 18 to post here

>1pt difference (negligible, prone to testing error) on StN
wew, that sure is worth getting btfo by the magni on impedance optimization!
themasterswitch.com
>Since the Magni 3 came out, several competitors have come on the scene. One of these is JDS Labs, with their Atom amp - an upgrade to their very basic Objective2. It's not quite as exciting, in our opinion, with a slightly less interesting design than the Magni, and somewhat more neutral sound.
Go home, JDShill
Jaxon Russell
>Completely ignores power output
Fucking redditard illiterates. Atom crushes that garbage in the power an distortion departments which are the most important factors in sound quality.
>Linking to subjective reviews of sponsored sites
Off yourself.
Jonathan Roberts
>Any review I don't like is a sponsored review
Sounding more and more like a JDShill.
Bentley Lopez
>Resorting to strawmans when your amp is proven to be inferior
Pathetic.
Eli Cox
your words quoted, not mine, strawman.
Leo Wilson
Line in on the PC and have "listen to this device" checked in the sound settings for the line in jack, or get a mixer.
Cameron Phillips
Zachary Torres
Stop listening to these deaf niggers and get a Topping D10.

Jacob Price
>FX Audio DAC-X6
cheap, decent, nice size, great feeling switches and knob.
USB powered for light needs, wall powered for heavier needs.
Jaxson Cox
I've driven much higher impedance headphones with my $20 sound card, and it doesn't lag :-)
Ayden Torres
>Sound card
Are you autistic?
Kevin Hall
All the songs on spotify run perfectly with my sound card, what's the problem?
Just because I have to be 30cm away from the ass end of my computer at all times doesn't make me an autist.
Adrian Taylor
I just bought the fiio e10k for my HD598s. Pretty decent. It sounds slightly better than a plugging into my PC. I'm not a big audiofile, but there is a little more detail in songs and cymbals are crisper.
David Bailey
i remember someone posting about audio crystals being sold for like $1000. i dont remember if it was a joke or real.
Alexander Price
Longer cables exist.
Wyatt Morgan
at $99 the JDS Atom amp is widely regarded as the best possible amp in that price range and nothing comes close. it is endgame for most people.
Jacob Peterson
Why don't you just use the on board audio jacks though, or the front panel audio jack? Dedicated sound cards are unnecessary today, only autists have them.
Nolan Martin
i bet you run an ethernet cable down the hallway too don't you?
Adrian Foster
Objective 2 or JDS Labs Atom. All that you will ever need for headphones.
Nathan Richardson
Is that a Studer reel-to-reel?
Brayden Richardson
Not him, but the magni 3 measurements are great you moron.
Jace Roberts
>are volumes at an acceptable level
>yes
>you don't need an amp
Does this also apply when plugging the headset into the motherboard aux ports with bitch basic realtek drivers? The sound levels are more than acceptable because I'm using the low ohm version of the dt770's, but I'm wondering if I could improve the sound quality
Michael Martinez
what makes you think you need an amp for a hyperx cloud 2? i run mine just fine without one.
Jonathan Anderson
So ? Not as great as the atom. And JDS labs has good qc and service unlike shitt.
Mason Brown
There are all sort of advantages of having spare power but no, if you reach acceptable levels at 60% volume or bellow it won't improve anything.
Charles Thomas
I'm always keeping windows at 50% while dialing in everything else inside the games and programs, most of which have to be turned down anyway. So I'll be fine
Daniel Sanders
I have a laptop.
James Jenkins
It doesn't let me listen to both inputs at the same sime.
Camden Howard
It's the B-1.
It's in a completely different league than the rest of the stuff in the pic.
$50 for the JVC is a really good price. Most trade and 2nd hand electronics shops would ask double that for it.
Connor Martin
Now if I could just afford the matching C-1 preamp....
There's one on e-bay, but it's in Japan, and they're asking about $6000 for it.
Carter Foster
amp8.com
This is the best source I've found so far, provided your browser can translate it.......
Christian Anderson
Endgame for most people is no amp.
Caleb Peterson
imagine putting the speaker less than 1.5 meters away from the amplifier
my nigga, you need to learn about magnetic fiels
Tyler Morgan
No, I believe you need to learn about placebo.
Noah Ramirez
Imagine your amp being so garbage, you have to shill it on Jow Forums
Camden Long
They're not hooked up, they're just stacked there so they're not on the floor.
That, and they're Minimus 7's. The speaker boxes are cast aluminum, so basically shielded anyways.
Juan Long
Get one of those USB dongles with aux jacks then.
Caleb Morris
How do you buy hifi equipement so cheap?
Logan Hall
Also, are the speakers diy? Care to tell me a bit about them?
Connor Hughes
That's what I'm doing. But my laptop BSODs when I unplug my phone and have my egpu plugged in. I'm going to investigate this further, but I want to get an amp with mixing features for a while.
Kevin Howard
Mostly through thrift shops and garage sales.
The speakers are Realistic Minimus 7's, but I've got a literal pile of other speakers in the other corner of the room.
Nicholas Hernandez
Holy shit dude. I got mine at Goodwill, second hand stores are the best
Mason Nguyen
Buy the smsl m3 and be done with it
It's got all the inputs you want.
Jayden Nelson
Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD
Daniel Cruz

>buying any SMSL chinkshit
Ryan James
SMSL capability isn't bad for the cost.
Jaxson Clark
Sure, as long as it works. As long as you don't need to replace it in half a year and find out the chinks won't respond to you and their warranty is BS
