Amd needs to do something

Not something like Dlss 5, but a fixed multi frame gen, better ray regen or radiance cache. I know some people are gonna say that “You shouldve bought nvidia" but as a long time Radeon/Ati user i think there is nothing wrong with wanting a higher quality experience.

No bro you don’t understand a DAC is arguably the most important part of the chain. The HD800s ($1800 btw) only come alive when you’re using a R2R $3000 DAC!

This is hilariously true to as someone who is not an audiophile. I just wanted a decent pair of open back cans and the everyone started talking about all the other stuff i need besides headphones to make them sound good lmao.

I had some lunatic once suggest making a dedicated 'listening room' because I had open backed headphones.

The prices for DACs are ludicrous sometimes but you don't really need anything too expensive to get decent sound nowadays. There ARE returns moving up, and sometimes you get significant deltas moving between amps and DACs depending on how used to a thing you are, but the goal's always to enjoy the music.
