The upgRAIDitis thread

Hee Hee.. MohitGamer has been hanging around us too long. However I agree with you

MOZ : Why you no tell me you wanted this? I have a similar one that I got along with a iPod touch that I bought from someone over at that other place. Even tho there were guys there that were offering me upto 3K (if I remember correctly) for it at the time.. it now sits under piles of garbage somewhere in this house. Never used it beyond the first couple of days. (Mine is proprietary iPod tho)

 

I have a feeling if I raid your pile of garbage, I could have a lot of awesome gadgets.

 

No No No.. you're thinking about theBanik .. me just a regular "garib Bekaar aadmi". Only reason I have this.. in fact only reason I even KNOW about this thing.. is that I got it For Free with the iPod. (iPod was reasonably priced, he was throwing this in for free.. had No Idea what it was.. But OK.. I wanted the iPod anyways)

 

Lot? He's theBanik of gizmos and Gadgets. every cabinet or cupboard you open, you find one thing or the other!

 

New target location acquired.

 

Let's pull of "Gone in 60 Seconds" at Luciffer, theBanik, and Devastator (The Micra guy) place some day.

 

I want a DISLIKE button!
Altho.. in DeVastator's case.. I'll join you on that raid. Not that I want anything from him.. just wanna give him less things to boast about LOL

 

So we have drama, while you assist us in raiding his place, we raid yours and you never knew. What a movie plot, definitely good enough for a sequel.

 

Who is the devatator fella ?

 

You have awakened the dragon. I nominate the below to give us a description:
Luciffer
rpm
initpidzero

 

Lol

Somebody please tell of this prodigious being ..

 

Since MOZ nominated me...
dbg : you're lucky you haven't met him, had you done so, this is roughly the convo:


dbg : Save me.. whoever you are, from that drunk Luciffer who's babbling some rubbish about me getting a girlfriend!

Hey DBG, I'm De Vastator. Did you know that I am like super rich?
I have 3 cars.. for just me.. cuz I had to upgrade cars in the last 2 yrs.. you know I needed it.. the old City was beginning to depress me.
I have 6 puters. Bet you're wonderring Why one person needs 6 puters.
That's cuz that way I can have a gaming session with guys like you!
Come on over to my place, I'll show you, I have a ton of Blue label lying around.. you know.. the expensive stuff..
And we can game on my new systems with Radeon 995 graphic cards...

dbg : But there is No Radeon 995.

Oh.. I know.. these are pre-production models.. I told the guys over at nVidia that "mein 10 lack deta hun" .. and they gave me!

dbg : ATI Radeon from nVivia?

Are-- yaar.. dus lach is dus lach.. ATI or nVidia... Dus lach to hai nah!

dbg : Wait.. I'll be right back.. I think I hear Luciffer calling me!!

 

ROTFL, Yup, that's him, from his glasses to his watch to his equipment, everything is one long show-off session.

 

Where did you find such a exotic creature ?

 

We din't, he wanted to meet us or we met at a OCing meet or something.

 

He had some 18 whole posts on that other place.. EACH of them in a meet thread...
Guess we were perfect candidates for his " I own the only Radeon 995 in India"
Most other people he talks to reply "Really? And I have a Hero Honda 125"

 

^^ That's what I said when He told me about his 3 cars, "I just have a Tata Nano"

 

Correction, should read: "Most other people that'll talk to him... :

 

I can tell you one thing, he keeps his business to himself in my presence.(this is pranav we are talking about?)

 

JD666, MohitGamer the Fiio E07K Andes retails for around 5.8k.

My setup:
FLAC on PC -> DAC -> AD700
FLAC on Phone -> Amp -> RE0

Phone audio output is terrible going to replace it with Rockboxed Sansa Clip+

Thanks dbg for explaining all the technicalities.

Edit: MohitGamer, certain headphones, iems have high impedence (Eg the RE0's have quite high impedence for IEM), this is basically electrical resistance provided by the magnets in the speakers of an audio device. Thus an amp is required to provide enough oomph to the headphones/IEM, it is not just about loudness but also soundstage/clarity/etc. This is or the AMP.

As for the DAC, laptops/onboard audio is generally quite bad and does't produce correct audio. Thus raw digital signal is provided to the DAC, which utilizes much higher quality components and circuitry to provide better analog conversion. And this Fiio is at the lower range DAC/AMP spectrum.
