The 7Hz x Crinacle Zero 2 and the Truthear Gate or Hola (worse but a little cheaper) are both pretty good and around $20. Might be worth considering for a good replacement.

People also like the Moondrop Chu II, but they have bad QC and I don’t like the frequency response (too V-shaped), so I wouldn’t recommend them.

In all fairness, those are all very well optimized, compared to today’s complete and utter bullsh*t… A 1060 is Dldefinitely not E-waste though!!

It’s only the AM5 mobos, you can still get very cheap AM4 mobos, even with PBO (performance boost overdrive, huuuuge performance boost for me at least). The new AM5 mobos are like 200 bucks WTF? Aaaand they have shit audio 😭

I remember this from “The C Programming Language // ANSI Edition” — a.k.a. K&R! A great guide to C btw; I still consider it the single most informative and useful thing that happened to me in the realm of computer science.

Op, just found it.

Is this on HN? If not, someone neeeeds to post it!!!
