Thinking about it, no duh, but I feel power delivery doesn't matter as much for BA IEMs as DD. None of the usual improvements IME. Mar 26, 2024 at 8:17 PM

      Could be I was deaf when I demoed Audirvana... but JRMC>f2000=?A+. So the nervosa begins; GDI I don't want to have to spend $60 on a player.

        @Stride There's a SoX upsampler plugin.

        @Lyer25 Different volume means one of them isn't bit-perfect. You need WDM/WASAPI or ASIO output selected in FB2K.

        @famish99 And here I am running everything out of my computer, a laptop no less. Something tells me that's the bottleneck, haha.

        @Stride Have SoX and SSRC installed, tinkered with em a few months ago and found both pretty eh

        @bengo Huh, odd. A+ trial expired so will have to make sure to be careful with JRMC; running f2k with no plugins atm, it's... same old same old.

        Yeah I checked my settings and as of JRMC 24, SoX was not enabled by default so I think my setup between JRMC and foobar2k is as close as I can get.

        The film came out in 1980, so yeah, not necessarily for the Tumblr generation.

        BokuAca is brilliant, really. I've read the manga and re-watched epsiodes too, never seem to get tired of it! They got the balance of western comics and good ol shonen just right, which is impressive.

        Calligraphy is a great hobby because it requires one to calm the hell down and clear their mind otherwise what comes out looks like chicken spasms, haha. I kinda envy that you had mandatory classes, the most I got was basic cursive penmanship in primary. Never too late to pick it back up and try for better if it so suits you though!

Gonna feel strange knowing there won't be any new episodes coming out after this, but at least it ended in its own time instead of going full Simpsons.
