>mfw there's no actual audiophiles on Sup Forums

You all talk about music, but there's never any threads dedicated to home setups or car setups.

What is your preferred setup for listening to the smooth comforting audio of your preference?

>mfw programmed/over produced is more sonically stimulating than acoustic recording but nobody will agree

You could try Sup Forums. They are actually old enough to own a car.

Audiophiles are retards. They are just gullible richfags who know nothing about music engineering and put their money into snake oil like golden cables and "CD frequency enhancers".
As far as I'm concerned, I use a pair of used M-Audio AV40 I've got for like 60€, and they are fine as cheap studio monitors as well as hi-fi speakers for music listening.
I use my built-in laptop soundcard because I'm not a retard and the AV40s have a pretty good integrated amp.
I just wish I had a good pair of headphones but I don't have enough money right now.

"Audiophiles put their money into snake oil like golden cables".

Correct.

However a fantastic DAC and an average set of 2.1 speakers is better than any headphones you could ever buy.

when you said "actual audiophiles" i thought this was going to be a thread about people who literally jerk off to sounds

Well senpai, I can actually jerk off to nothing but sound. Sometimes when I notice something so well produced, I get aroused, and go beat off.

There are so many challenges when it comes to recording certain things, that when I hear something so well done, I get aroused.

Goes in reverse too I guess. I can hear some fantastic music, but be upset at how lacking the production is.

>watching porn
>not jacking off LISTENING to porn

What's it like being this pleb?

lmfao, it's like you mever jerked it to your dad being cucked

There's HD porn but is there 24bit 96kHz porn?

how can one opinion be this wrong

>mpeg
When will FLAC porn be a thing? FLAC Lives Matter.

>a fantastic DAC
I wish people would call them "external USB amps" instead of DACs, because that's what they are, and the amp is the main reason why they sound better.
I hear no difference between my Komplete Audio 6 and my built-in soundcard, and that's because my speakers have a good integrated amp. I'm pretty sure a $300 "DAC" has the same basic Cirrus Logic chips every soundcards and prosumer audio interfaces have.
A DAC is just a chip that convert a bunch of digital signals into a sequence of analog voltages. The way these voltages are amplified from millivolts to V are way more important than whenever you have this DAC chip or that chip, because all these chips are all pretty accurate. If your DAC would output the wrong voltage to a specific 16-bit or 24-bit number, you would hear clicks all over the place.
I guess the only interesting DACs to have are the high-end professional stuff like Lavrey and Mytek But before that you should pay more attention to your speakers placement in your room, and stuff like that before blowing $3000 into a ADC/DAC combo.

>to a specific 16-bit number
I meant "in response to"

>inbuilt DAC and $99999 speakers
"Yeah, sounds pretty ok man"

>proper DAC and $1k speakers
"Wow man, I can hear things I never hear before"

It's like throwing parsley on top of dog shit.

>It's like throwing parsley on top of dog shit.
No it's not, because, as I told you, modern DAC chips are pretty accurate, and your $600 external USB amp problably has the same Cirrus Logic chips as most soundcards and prosumer audio interfaces.
It would really matter if your DAC resolution would be really bad, like 12-bit or 8-bit, but these don't exist anymore.

Here is a post of acreil on gearslutz, on the topic, to prove my point :
>I think the fact that these things are being discussed at all automatically indicates that the have little actual merit. Of course there will always be proponents, because it seems like it would be better, because there's money to be made, and because someone, primed to expect a dramatic improvement, will always claim "night and day difference, just use your ears, blah blah blah". And moreover, storage, bandwidth and good quality high definition DACs are cheap; this is the easy upgrade that everyone wants to work. Had there been an unambiguously noticeable improvement in sound quality, everyone would have jumped on board years ago.
>There are certainly advantages to synthesizing, processing and mixing sounds at higher sample rates and bit depths. But for simple recording, distribution and reproduction, if it hasn't been definitively proven at this point, it's just beating a dead horse.
>Why don't people instead push for something that actually makes a meaningful difference, like Ambisonics?

nice, how much did you spend on your external sound card man haha

Audiophiles only listen to music to test headphones.

How does one get a car setup? Give me some sort of link or infographic or something.

>No it's not, because, as I told you, modern DAC chips are pretty accurate, and your $600 external USB amp problably has the same Cirrus Logic chips as most soundcards

Repeating a retarded opinion does not make it a right one. More expensive DACs use better BB and Wolfson chips. Yes, nowadays an average DAC is good. Doesn't mean better ones aren't better.

You really shouldn't use monitors for listening to music. They're way too flat compared to normal speakers, you'd be better served with normal speakers at a similar price.

Truly being poor is a state of mind. Try working more instead of shitposting on a mongolian basket weaving bord.
