Is... that Yuyuko on top of your chassis?
That is correct. I should really put her in a better position but I don't like moving her; if her fan falls off it's a pain putting it back.Oinari-sama wrote:

Dual monitors are great, I could never go back to a single screen. Even better having a 24" monitor for playing on.marcostudios wrote:

I love your syntax highlighting Dean! Have you worked on it again since your blog post in 2011?peppy wrote:

Please post an updated pic if u had, it looks soooo guuuud.

The guy is someone who works at this office, unrelated to osu!. I probably should have removed him for privacy. Let's pretend he's not there.
I haven't updated it actually. It's *that* good. I have made a version for Sublime Text, though, which I may post at some point.ZenoDiac wrote:

I want to know what's being powered by that amp. The RRP is a bit scary.
Fuck me, you powering Stax with that thing?peppy wrote:

The m902 was one of the most expensvie pieces of hardware I've bought in my life, but completely worth it. I use it to run my UE900s, UE TripleFi, beyer DT990s and apple earpods (don't underestimate those things when powered with a good amp – they sound quite amazing!). It has travelled with me over the years and served me well.
I actually have two "desktop" setups. Firstly, the one I should be using:
And the one I end up using most of the time:
No regrets.

I've been curious about the value of using different types of amplifiers with headphones. In the past, I've only tried a few sources and noticed no real difference aside from volume when I used a small FiiO amp (not exactly what you'd call high end). Can't really test any amps at home without blowing a lot of money, plus my headphones are relatively low impedance anyway.peppy wrote:

fiio vs headphone out (on a macbook, or any other laptop) should be VERY noticeable in quality difference. if you are running a dedicated soundcard (creative / asus) there should be marginally no difference in quality, and the only benefit of getting an external amp would be to reduce noise or increase output levels.
anything above a fiio is so marginal i wouldn't recommend going there until you know you have reason. even then, the highest i would recommend going is a dragonfly – amazing little things.
that said, over the years i have used my m902 to run subwoofers, route multiple audio inputs through – digital and analog, do a-b testing with its dual headphone outputs, and generally make me not worry about loss of quality due to hardware, which always bugged me previously.

I can also vouch for the difference, even from going from laptop audio to ASUS' modo audio. However, once I got my Focusrite Scarlett, the difference was amazingly profound. I'd definitely recommend a good external source--it breathes new life into a music collection.
Also, I keep misreading m902 as m980. God damn it, somebody drag him back.

I've been using a Tascam US-122MKII (pictured) because I needed the XLR inputs for recording. No idea how the headphone input compares to a traditional amp though. Oh, and by FiiO, I meant one of their palm-sized pocket amps. Possibly a bootleg since I got it on eBay years ago, but it didn't blow up, so I'm not sure anymore, though I still have it lying around.
I won't be upgrading my audio setup for some time, but I'll bear in mind amplification in the future, particularly on the logistics of a headphone>amp>interface>pc chain versus headphone>interface>pc. The weakest link in my audio setup is easily my noisy fucker of a laptop fan which I will be so happy to be rid of in the future. If there's one thing I miss about my old netbook, it's that it was virtually silent.

theres really little bootlegs of fiio afaik, fiio is so cheap already there's not really alot of money to make in making fake ones...Jarby wrote:

+1 for this I bought an Audioengine D1 for the DAC for like $200 and the change was very minimal.... right now I'm using a little dot II ($100 piece) for my AKGs and it does well. The only reason I could see myself spending money on a new amp is if I had orthodynamic or electrostatic headphones.peppy wrote:

Update on my desktop setup. It looks like something out of the terminator. I have a multi monitor setup with 2 different monitors (a philips and a dell) a wireless keyboard, wired mouse, and a pair of headphones which I found at a second hand store. Its currently sitting on the dining room table. Theirs cords everywhere. Its crazy. It seriously makes my pc look like its on life support. Still, I did get a multimonitor setup for little to no money paid. I found some old monitors that fit the job nicely. The rig has a total of 3 operating systems loaded on its 2 sata hdd's (a 500gb and a 250gb) I have windows 7 64 bit and windows 8.1 32 bit on the 500gb one and windows 8.1 64 bit (for my app development) on the 250gb one. Basicly, my whole pc uses parts that I have either found, salvaged, have already been used or I just found lying around. I'll post a picture later.
Missing a screen at the moment, as it's connected to the router temporarily (the sunkist can takes it's spot while it's gone). Revodrive is going in my PC when I finish writing this. Also, OSX is simply running for PhotoBooth, because I don't have anything to actually take photos with on Windows.
