    I also use the 250ohm DT990Pros and am very happy with them. I have them paired with a $99 Atom Amp+. If you go with the lower ohm version I bet you could delay the amp purchase depending on the output of your computer’s default stack.

    For a mic I attach a wireless Antlion ModMic which is… Fine. Audio quality is good but it is kinda wiggly and charges off micro USB. Allegedly Q1 they’re going to announce a revamped version which I think it really needs.

    Regardless of which headphones you decide on, if you’re interested in a budget headphone amp I can recommend the Atom Amp. It does everything I need with good build quality at an affordable price. I’ve used it for several years with no complaints


  • What you’re saying is technically true but do you know what was a horrible experience?

    A few weeks ago when I, in Japan, needed to download many 5+ Gb project files I had backed up on my home server in the US after a hard drive failure and I was hamstrung by my shitty domestic up speed limit.

    At least with large web file hosts like Google, iCloud, and mega you’re not restricted by your inferior domestic upload speeds. Being able to access the server from anywhere is only half the battle




  • The Dresden Files audiobooks are so good. They’re read by James Marsters of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and he just hits every tone and sigh of Dresden perfectly.

    I’m actually finishing up The Olympian Affair, book 2 of Jim Butcher’s new series Cinder Spires. It’s steampunky magic with political intrigue, airships, and tribes of cats with their own language. The first book was a little meandering but the second one has been very interesting and more dynamic so far
