ispacedesign yeah the diminishing returns pretty much start immediately in the audiophile hobby. $80 -$200 will get you good starting gear but once you’re spending more than that you’re getting much less in return. I’ve got to the point that I refuse to listen to anything more expensive than my own gear because I’ve spent too much already and I should be happy with what I’ve got.

I've always wanted to have better headphone/audio so last year i jumped in and got myself a hd6xx, jds labs atom, and a topping d50 it was supposed to be just a topping d30 but the store i went to was out of stock and got talked down by the owner to get the d50 lol 😂 And now i want more!! I've been eyeing the thx amps and the new topping d90 as my "end game" dac amp combo and a good planars this year. I will be very content with those gears coz i believe I wont be hearing any audible difference from those to uber high end stuff 😅

Can we all give this man some praise for making the most easy and straight forward to learn 101 ever created. I shaw your Schiit video and was completely baffled about Amps and Dacs. Thanks so much :)

It's also a dac/amp but I use it mainly as an amp bc I use a dual pc setup so my audio interface is also a mixer so I can route audio to it and have it output to my amp. But would a dac be better in the place of my audio interface or would it just be too much.

Have been using a $150 Plantronics headset. Which I loved and was utterly satisfied with. Out of sheer boredom spent $160 on Amazon. Bought the Phillips SHP9500s, the Syba Sonic and a $27 in line mic. Got a sub to Tidal. My brain is currently melting. I didn't know music can sound this good. And for this cheap! Audio in gaming is also sublime. Everyone needs a proper headphone/DAC/amp setup. A standalone "gaming" headset powered by your onboard audio on whatever mobo you have doesn't compare. My life is forever changed lol. Thanks BadSeed! :D

That's what I was thinking as well a few days ago, but I have a cheap USB mic (that's actually pretty good for what it is), so my USB mic kinda negates the need to just get a gaming dac which is what I was trying to do but kept finding myself on pages without the mic line in and I'm just like "wtf"

I've been waiting for this for a while. I've started to go down that rabbit hole you mentioned and I just don't have the time. This simplified things for me and set me down the road to a better audio experience. You killed it. Can't wait for the next vid in the series. Keep on keepin' on!

Just what I needed mate a good decent guide to dacs and Amps I was in need of this video real bad 😁

What I appreciate most about your content is you're always answering the real questions we all have. 💯 love your work since the beginning. Really happy to see how far you've come!

Oh my god Brian this video is a godsend, I was just getting into investigating for an upgrade to my audio setup, and you drop this gem. Thank you for the awesome quality, as always, and I can't wait to see part 2

Thank you so much for the video! I've been hovering over the idea of getting a DAC/AMPs for a while now, but I lost myself when I jumped down the rabbit hole. This video really helps me!

Hey Brian, I just started viewing your stuff maybe a few months ago. Just wanted to reach out and say thanks for what you put out. I understand that that audio is pretty subjective as to what is good or not since everyone has different tastes in sound but you describe your likes and dislikes in a way that communicates really well to me. I'm currently in the market for some new audio equipment and your videos is making my search a lot easier than I expected and learning a lot. Great content - you have a solid follower from me, man.

Just want to say. Your channel has been a godsend on my audio journey. I’ve owned some grado and audio technica cans. But never got too into it. You’re helping me take it to the next level!

Excellent video! This helped me so much trying to figure out what I need, to take the next step in audio upgrade for my PC. I've looked at lots of threads and video reviews and they've all left me with even more questions. Thank you for being concise and explaining everything so simply. Subbed!

Appreciate your format man, Just bought a GSP 500/Creative SoundblasterX G6 combo and honestly it's the best audio setup I've ever had, based on reviews from you and a couple other youtubers. Thanks for doing this man!

This was a great video! I'm completely new to audio, but this video was extremely digestible even to a beginner like me. Also, I had a random external DAC that cost 10 dollars on Amazon, and I always wondered why the sound from my headphones sounded so much fuller using it as opposed to my motherboards audio output. I avoid it a lot still, because it creates noticeable latency to the audio, which is really detrimental for me, since I play rhythm games, but I switch to it for general gaming and music listening sessions. Thanks for the great video!

Content like this is so hard to find. All the info advertised in the title, straight to the point-- no time wasted. Thanks for this. It helped me a ton. ✌

Such an underappreciated channel I've literally based a bunch of my purchases off of your advice and all of your tips have been correct and the purchases I've made have been money well spent you deserve more subs and they will come your vids are so high quality cant wait to see this channel blow up

This stuff isn't as complicated as much as it seems. It's the same as building a pc, just decide on a budget for the individual components ( dac, amp, cans ) then once you have a dollar amount you look at the options in that range and go with what you feel is right. If all your doing is gaming then the dt 1990s are the best headphone I used under 500 ( technically it's a 600 dollar headphone but you can find it on amazon under 500 frequently ) as far as amps and dacs go just worry about getting a decent dac ( you don't need to spend 500 bucks here ) but if you want something reasonably priced with a bunch of features and options for a dac then you can't go wrong with the smsl su-8 and me personally I use a smsl sp200 for the amp. THX AAA tech is a bit overhyped but I prefer the sound signature provided from it especially for gaming. It's whole gimmick is the amp doesn't color the sound. What that means is it won't add bass in or treble which for gaming means your getting as close to how the devs intented the sound to be heard as possible. If you want a massive upgrade but don't want to spend 1,000 bucks on gear then the creative g6 has tons of power to drive most headphones and the dt 990 is under 200 and has a sound signature that is sort of close to the 1990.

The speaker plan I found and liked best were for passive speakers (just learned the what that means), so a few days ago I was on the hunt for ways to connect them to my computer. Enter the confusion about DACs and amps. I ended ordering a $50 offbrand amp that had a mic input. I am sure it won't last long, so now I have a better idea of what to do when I need to upgrade. Nice video! Subscribed.

This is the best introductory video I have seen on the subject, very well done. Nearly everything vital covered in a concise way.
