Selling you 10 year old hardware at modern prices so you can play pokemon with stutters and freezes. Classic

Oh! My bad. EqualizerAPO / SourceForge is what i used briefly. I tried a few others but their names escape me.

Was nice being able to control everything more fluidly and import presets from various audiophile testing websites to figure out what sounded best to “me”.

Years of listening to Metal at ‘way too loud’ on the dial has made my ears uh ‘unique’. So i cant just drop in stuff and it sound immediately perfect. Gotta tweak it a smidge.

Regarding the third party software on linux, I’m unsure. When im using my linux boot i just use the equalizer built into the dac itself and mimic what i figured out using third party on windows.

I imagine there’s third party that would interface with it since its just like any other audio software. Something like PulseAudio that sits on top of ALSA. That said id recommend doing your own research as always with your flavor of linux/setup.

They didn’t work out of the box instantly, the sound was pretty “crunchy”.

But, all i had to do was update firmware and set the bandwidth to the fanciest it would go then use third party equalizer to balance it out. (You CAN use the propietary one, but it didn’t seem to really offer me anything third party didn’t. Third party changes the driver too so you don’t have to have a dumb program sitting open in the background like the proprietary requires)

If i was going to spend this money again I’d of bought the Maxwell from Audeze instead. My head is fat and the nova pro barely fits at max space.

Also, get cloth earcups to replace the full rubber grippy ones. Way less sweaty and the sound is more " open" imo. Although audiophiles would be correct that it’s less sealed so therefore less noise canceling and immersive.

Edit: Sidenote. All headsets should have a removable battery as easy as this. Its easily the best feature on this headset.

Yep. More accurate reading by it “feeling” your finger instead of “seeing” your finger.

Nominal upgrade but an upgrade none the less.

A lot more benefit comes from how fast the software can detect you trying to unlock your phone, waking the phone, enabling the thumbprint reader (sonic vs light), then decoding the print and finally waking to your home screen.

I love the feature that lets me open the phone to home screen from the phone being asleep. Just put your thumb on a black screen in the right spot and boom, already at the home screen.

I think that last paragraph precisely summarizes the flaw in 90% of the discourse about this. People are trying to solve a problem that shouldn’t exist to need to be solved.

If you set your goal to scale the industry wayyyy back, all of a sudden it becomes sustainable again. Just like it was 10 years ago. Society based on endless growth is unsustainable and all that yeah?

What was the anaology? We’re too busy trying to figure out the best position to have sex with our own mothers instead of trying to have less sex with our own mothers?
