Look for ones that use either a JHL7440 chipset from Acasis, Orico, or Trebleet (these offer the best balance of speed/power draw/thermals…

No worries at all. Also, those are some nice headphones you've got. The Arya uses electrostatic drivers and are relatively low impedance…

Maybe? The HD800 is good for gaming due to its wide soundstage, and the TA-66 has great synergy with the HD800, but my experience with this…

If anyone happens to need a recommendation for an amp or DAC to pair with these, my "entry level" setup consists of a Schiit Modi Multibit…

Nah, dataminers found a 60Hz mode option in the game files but it's dummied out. Given XBCX DE was a Switch 2 launch window title that kind…

Based on some quick googling, the manufacturing cost for NVIDIA per 5090 chipset (ie. taking into account the cost to them for the larger…

@ChickenAdobo @AeymothSky @ritzaus Gonna go ahead and pull the trigger on this one 👍 Thanks all, I really appreciate your thoughts/input.

This isn't directly related to the OP, but I'm in the market for a portable monitor (WFH ± maybe some gaming) and I stumbled on this:…

Potentially. This one doesn't have EAP support, unlike a few of the other GL.iNet models, so if WiFi access is locked behind a landing page…

There's a reasonable argument that if new gpu prices never go down (due to market manipulation, etc.), such that the resale value of an…

Did they ever fix the sleep bug that was impacting AMD Ryzen 5 laptops? I bought a HP Elitebook with a 6800U and I gave up on ever using it…

I've heard anecdotally that the remote-wake function being limited to the new right joycon/pro controller is because the Switch 2 is using…

Can't confirm either way, but I'd err on the side of presuming Sony not updating their manufacturing process.

Can't say mine has discoloured significantly from the time I've spent using it, but yeah the adhesive has started to degrade in the manner…

In as much as this is a good price for an Edge controller I can't really recommend the product itself; 100% can corroborate reports that…

Price fixing, basically; the South Korean cartel deliberately and methodically drove up the cost of NAND by slowing their production lines.

Similar case here, but a different price again- I'm currently seeing $559.42 via the Union Shopper portal.

Unless you have a PC with a Thunderbolt 5 port and an enclosure with a JHL9480 chipset the theoretical limit for transfer speed is…

You could try hooking up a raspberry pi or one of those cheap gl.inet routers (mango, etc.) and using it as a print server in conjunction…

Some board partners also use it as a margin buffer; ie. As part of the fulfillment contract for a given chipset, AMD/Nvidia will require…

Awesome. I'm happy to hear you got something that fits your needs in the end; and yeah fingers-crossed you're right about future Apple…

You're very welcome. Also if you're still looking, I just saw this one- reasonably good price on a near mint HP G4:…

I'm aware of those considerations, but what's good practice in the context of a data centre environment may not be necessarily relevant to…

SSDs are atrociously bad value for reliable/bulk storage, especially now the manufacturers are using mainly QLC in their largest drives;…

I ended up with a Plugable TBT4-UD5, but that info may not be very useful in itself as it was via an accepted eBay offer ($135 for a…

This is one of those units based on the Intel Goshen Ridge JHL8440 chipset, and if you need its features then for the cost it's actually a…

If you put one in a flashcart for a Nintendo console it also makes Hiroshi Yamauchi roll over in his grave.

SSDs were coming down, but only until Samsung and Hynix et al. colluded to bring the prices back up; I'm still kicking myself for not…

Be careful when considering this model- the 'Thunderbolt 4 Pro Dock' is a completely different SKU to the relatively well-regarded…

Very nice, I’ve been eyeing these for years and I think I can justify the price given how long my HD600s have lasted. Given these are 300…
