    The audio quality of this video make me nostalgic. I remember my first little plastic PC loudspeakers.

    The sound quality has improved significantly, but as has been pointed out here, the sound and video are not quite in sync. Nevertheless, the rating was easy to guess pretty much from the start, which means that this is again a scientifically comprehensible top review. Many thanks again at this point for mentioning: it's not a hobby! - It can't be said often enough.

    Thanks for the review, I might have to pick one of these up. This fits a use case for me, work and travel, where the form factor isn't an issue, and I tend to listen to power hungry planars, so this might fit the bill. Also, the ability to connect via toslink will be nice for connecting to hotel flat screens no more worrying about getting the phone call from the front desk to turn off that movie because "it's quiet time."

    I'd been thinking of mounting this thing in a cutout of the wooden furniture my amplifier stands on. It has a little edge on the front/top plate so it might look mighty good.

    • @scientificaudiophile
      @scientificaudiophile  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Go for it! That’s a great idea. Run the headphone cable from underneath. It has the lip around the top that would let it drop in perfectly if the hole was cut out to the proper size.

    Blutack. Just stick it to the desk upright with blutack. Does it sound better then the k11 or Ka11 whatever it's called thing? Can you review some dongle dacs? The r2r ones maybe? Cayin u6, Hiby fc6? Recently they have become very good.

    • @scientificaudiophile
      @scientificaudiophile  Před 4 měsíci +1

      It sounds as good as the K11, but lacks the 1,100 milliwatts of power, but it doesn’t need an AC adapter.

      I agree. Tried a $200 Sony mic - static. Tried a $125 Rodes mic - static. Tried the default mic on my camera - static. I think the camera is at fault. I'm going to try and record directly via the PC and sync the video and audio in post for the next video.
