In songs sung in English, a word ending with "t" followed by "you" sometimes makes the "you" sound like "chew". Does this happen in other languages with different words/sounds?
  • Brazilian Portuguese speakers change 't' and 'd' to 'ch' and 'j' respectively before 'i' and 'e' sounds. For example, the word 'de' meaning 'of/from' is pronounced more like 'juh'. In Portugal, though, they use a hard 'd'.

    Could you give me some exemples of 'de' sounding like 'juh'? It may be because Brasil is a really big place, or a language barrier, but I never heard anyone pronounce 'de' like like that, what I commonly see, especially since I also do it, is changing 'de' to 'di' and 'do' to 'du' when speaking. Also, this happens with many words with 'o' and 'e', a lot of people just replace 'o' with 'u' and 'e' with 'i'.

  • Which Amp/Dac to buy?
  • If i somehow manage to find it from a seller that is at least 10% reputable, it's about the same as the FiiO K7 and the K5 Pro ESS(the k5 and the k7 have similar prices here in Brasil) without taxes and more than twice the price of the BTR5 without taxes.

  • Which Amp/Dac to buy?

    Hey guys, the ne dof the ear is coming and I'm getting my soul wallet ready to buy a pair of headphones to use in my desktop, I was looking into the HD600s and the R70x(probably will go with the R70x) and I currently do not have an Amp/Dac, so do you guys have any recommendations?

    I was thinking about getting either the FiiO K5 Pro Ess or the FiiO K7, but any other recommendations are welcome! Unless they're about the Qudelix 5k(can't find this in Brasil for a reasonable price) or the apple dongle.

    Battlebit Remastered on Linux/Anti-cheat
  • Just requested a refund from VALVe.

    Really wish i knew about this before buying the game, had a lot of fun, but i'm not going back to Windows just so i can play battlebit, really regret recommending this game to my friends now...

    And for anyone having even a sliver of hope, the devs don't care about us, we only make about 1,6% of Battlebit's Player Count and they have already stated that they will implement it in their game and thats non-negotiable.

    In the future they might implement linux support again, but as of now, i cannot in good faith recommend a game that restricts players choices and has an intrusive AC like Faceit.

  • Games with crossplay between PC and Switch

    Hello! I Don't really know if this is the right place to ask about this, so if this post is a better fit somewhere else, please tell me :D

    Recently my friend bought a switch, but the rest of our friend group uses PCs, so i was wondering if you guys could recommend me some Crossplay games.

    It can be anything, as long as we can play together, or against eachother >:D.

    Thanks in advance for any responses, Have a nice day!

    What do you like about your Linux Distro?
  • It's easier to install when using DualBoot.

    EndeavourOS is just what I needed when I started to DualBoot with windows, besides being just easier to install, some games I play still require Windows, like most dx12 games since they're currently broken due to some driver error in the latest Nvidia drivers.

    I love Arch and can't see myself using anything but it, but I don't have the patience to do a manual install every other week or so because I got bored or am to lazy to actually fix my system, especially while dualbooting.

  • What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?
  • When I need a microphone I use my Cloud Alpha S, but most of the time I use my Letshuoer S12 with a CX-31993 and in the future I plan on getting an Audio Technica ATH-R70x.

    If you want wireless, you could always get a good pair of headphones and pair them with either the FiiO BTR5 or the Qudelix5k.

  • Which headphones are your favorites?
  • Only issue is that the cups aren't super big so if you have large or very protruding ears they won't fit.

    I don't think that'll be a problem for me, my ears are definitely on the small/flat side. I'll await for the MM100s from Audeze first before deciding, but looking at the price and some graphs, I think the R70x will probably be a better fit for me compared to the DT 1990 PRO, as of now, I don't think I can justify getting the Beyers since they're double the price of the R70x for a, what I assume after looking at some reviews and such, not double the price worth difference.

    I just wanted to thank you for recommending the ATH R70x, if the MM100s aren't accessible here on Brasil, I'll definitely be going for the R70x :D

  • Which headphones are your favorites?
  • imaging and soundstage is important to you I would buy the ATH R70X over these any day.

    This may have sown the seeds of doubt in my mind, Soundstage is really important to me since i game a lot and having a good soundstage really enhances the experience for me. I'll be sure to take a look at the ATH R70x, since it's way cheaper than the DT1990 Pro here in Brasil, especially after tax (about 250USD of difference)

  • I heard amazing things about the Arias, I almost got them, but the S12s we're almost the same price as the Arias when I bought them, so I decided to go with the S12s, but in the future I might get a pair of Arias to add to my collection.

  • You can never go wrong with these, tbh. Specially the Sennheisers. I haven't checked the AudezeMM100 reviews yet so I can't comment on them. Just make sure you audition them first just to make sure they fit your taste

    Unfortunately testing them isn't really possible for me, so I'm mostly going off waht I've read online. As t the moment in pretty much set on getting the Beyers, because I've read that they have a better soundstage and I like treble.

    The MM100s by audeze, as far as I know, are set to start shipping this month, if they're any good, I'll consider getting them if I'm able to, but, again, I'll most likely go with the Beyers since I've dreamed about having them since I was in my first year of highlschool.

    Definitely valid concern. I have 3 hifimans and I'm lucky they don't have issues yet. But I've seen a lot of people having issues with theirs. I hope Hifiman fixes their QC.

    Honestly, I'd buy a HiFiMan if I lived in either europe or the USA, but since I live in Brasil and I, most of the times anyways, buy my headphones through AliExpress, buying anything HiFiMan is a huge gamble since I can't RMA them easily.

    Don't worry about the K240 - I haven't met anyone who likes them lmao.

    At least you like it, I think... Unless you're some kind of masochist - and maybe you are given that you also spend, what I assume is, a lot of money on headphones, dacs and amps for the definitely real difference in sound that isn't in our minds and totally justifies the amount of money we've sunk into this hobby.

  • When I was first buying a headphone for PC use about 3-4 years ago, I was considering the AKG240s, but in the end, being the dunce I am, I bought a pair of HyperX Cloud Alpha IIs, I kinda regret it now because they're nowhere near as good as my S12s or my friend's SHP9500, but I feel that, in the end, it's a good(bad) thing I bought them because it started my headphone addiction. But I'd still like to have a pair of K240s :(

    I was actually considering going for either the Sundaras or the Edition XS for my next pair of headphones, but I got scared away by the infamous HiFiMan QC. For now I'm waiting to see if I'll be able to purchase the AudezeMM100 here in Brasil or not, if I'm not able to, I'm probably sticking with the HD600s or the DT1990 Pro, altough I'm aware that the treble can be a bit too sharp on Beyers, but that shouldn't be a problem since, if it's really that sharp, I can just use eq to tone a bit the treble.

  • Which headphones are your favorites?

    Hello! Recently I've bought a pair of LetShuoer S12s and absolutely loved them! They're by far the best set of IEMs/headphones I've ever had. For reference the only "headphones" I've ever used were gaming headsets and a KZ ZSX that serves me very well until now.

    These, for now, are my absolute favorite IEMs/Headphones of all time, just bought a cx31993 and a pair of Spinfit W1s to use with the S12s since they're on sale on AliExpress and am planning on getting either a HD600 or a DT1990 Pro next.

    So I ask you guys, which headphones are your favorites? Which headphones just make you go "Yeah, this is it."
