It depends on how perceptive you are and how revealing your equipment is. Headphones definitly makes detailed listening easier but you might still hear the diference. Nothing to lose by trying. I think mpd can output with ALSA but I’m not certain. I will say the difference is slight but I want the best sound possible so it’s worth it to me. I’d recommend testing it with something dynamic with some quiet bits. Why Worry by Dire Straits is my go to. I hate the remasters but the original is so good. Anyway, feel free to reach out if you have questions or need advice from another budget audiophile. Feel free to DM too.

I don’t have all the answers. I just think it’s outrageous to have to pay for a photo of Kurt Cobain. I fucking hate Getty Images.

Cut out the worthless middle man. Hire a photographer.

Whoever wrote that shit should kill them self. I’m sorry for both our trauma.

Because I love companies selling historical images that should be public domain and than adding their fucking watermark to all images of theirs that appear in search engines. Fuck Getty Images.

LMAO, GET FUCKED!

What app do you use to listen to music and what DAC do you have? Pipewire is still altering the audio regardless.

ALSA is bit-acurate. Pipewire/Pulse Audio isn’t. It resamples and mixes the audio so you can, for example play a YouTube video in your browser while calling your friend on Discord. When I’m using ALSA to send music to my DAC, I can’t listen to anything else while using my DAC. Audiophiles want the DAC to do the audio decoding, not Pulse or Pipewire. I probably didn’t explain very well but i’m not an expert.

I think people just like to bitch about þorn. You know what it says, so what’s þe issue?

Actually audiophiles like me use ALSA. I use it to send audio to my DAC.

Don’t you think you’re overreacting just a bit?

Why is that?

Can’t stop me from running a local model. China has always been the boogeyman. Not that there aren’t valid criticisms against the Chinese government but I’m tired of this when we do it it’s good but when China does it it’s bad mindset. Bring back Huawei and Xiaomi phones.

Edit: Also these so-called capitalists want to ban the superior product instead of competing. It seems to me that China makes superior products. Why learn from them when you can ban the competition?

Do we have any proof that they aligned themselves with these projects because they are fascist? I’m not calling you a liar. If what you say is true is true than I’d sure like to know. I used to love Peppermint OS back when I first got started with Linux. I’d be very upset to hear they are intentionally seeking out fascist projects to align themselves with.

Peppermint OS is fascist? How?

We need electric trains. That’s what we need. Fuck cars.

I refuse to be turned on by engaging in role play with a clanker.
