How much you pay, appears to be on sale 163, but not sure if that's bull shit normal prices.

Still annoyed got a sound blaster dac recommended here last year, certified refurb. Died like a month after limited warranty

Mine started acting up and it turned out the usb cable stopped working. I've never seen a cable stop working before.

I've never really cared much about this but my speakers suck and I didn't feel like buying an appropriate setup and putting all the speakers in the correct location and calibrating and all that other bullshit so I ended up spending money on headhphones.

Sennheiser HD600.

Jesus Christ I had no idea a headset could sound like this. Was a little dubious about the money I was spending but... yea, worth.

Good headphones sound better than all but the very best fixed speaker setups. Good headphones are amazing.

Had to give em the Bass, Treble and Tin test. When I worked in Manhattan I used to hear these guys in the subways on my way home from work (true story) and they sounded way different and worse after they got a record deal and I listened to them through speakers. But these headphones actually made them sound great again.

Now get a decent amp and use that website to dial in your headphones with EQAPO. It even has the settings built into the app.

Shit will blow your mind.

Was cleaning out some drawers in my office and came across some Sennheiser HD 598SE. Think I got them like 10 years ago? Not sure if they're still worth anything. Will that EQAPO thing work with them? I had a Schiit stack at one point too but haven't come across that yet.

Also found some Steelseries Arctic something something wireless headphones. Pretty sure these were from taking a survey at a DotA tournament back at TI4 or TI5 in Seattle.
