So, something I didn't manage to fit into this video (or else it would have gone on for another 6 mintues -__- In my quest to find software on the PC as I transition away from my iMac, I wanted to mention two things. First, I've found that Affinity Photo is a great alternative to paying monthly subscription fees for Photoshop. Affinity does about 90% of what I used Photoshop for, costs under $100 AUD and is quick and easy to work with. Also, the latest Beta 15 of Davinci Resolve now supports the files that my A6500 records in, without an extra ingestion / transcode step. Coupled with the fact that Davinci Resolve 15 now supports 4K video output in the free beta, and now integrates a compositing engine, I am pretty blown away that THEY ARE GIVING THIS STUFF AWAY. I still use FCPX for work and I do find it is faster, especially in rendering times, but I'm willing to give Resolve a real shot. I edited this video on Resolve, and I was pretty impressed with the colour grading system in particular. Let me know what you use, and if you have suggestions for good photo management (like Lightroom) on the PC?

So glad to see another video from you. Questyle is worth the extra price as far as I am concerned. Very nice.

Whoa that centerpiece is wicked

My setup is my Desktop(ryzen 7+16gb ram) under my desk and a Dell 24in 1080p monitor + Sony 19in 1280x1024. Then have 1 sony xb10 speaker connected via aux. THEN have HDMI switch that connects to my PS4 and PC. Then route output to monitor and TV in other room. Now I can freely switch between pc or ps4 on either screen. This is great when someone needs to sleep or is using the other screen, can just move to the other. You should eventually try dual monitors, it will change how you do stuff. I can't imagine not having 2 monitors. On the sony 19in, I just run IRC/torrent and other text based stuff. It's very useful when multitasking.

I always love the shirts you're wearing and also thumbs up for the pants and stocking wallpaper!

I am surprised that you are ok with the extremely low quality speakers. I pictured you for a Kef LSX.

Highly recommend getting a VESA arm for your monitor, it will change the way you physically work at the computer for hours.

If the ifi doesn’t work, you could try a hum-x device to connect to the speaker’s ac cable

As for your ground loop, try connecting your dac to your pc via optical

Didn't expect you to go with Audeze since they're known to be quite dark and your love for Ath-like treble. Wish you could try an audeze pair myself too in the future (I'm loving my hifiman sundara at the moment). Lovely setup indeed! Looking forward to your next videos ❤️

Either go optical or try the ART DTI to solve your ground loop issue.

Love the new setup! I'm saving up for a pair of LCD-2C as well atm. Do you think you'll do a review video of them sometime?

Nice setup. I have krk rp8s and feed them with the audiolab mdac+ and I'm very happy with how they sound. The only issue I ran into was that the mdac+ makes a terrible heaphone amp and doesn't really drive my hifiman he-4xx. So I bought a chord mojo lol. But now I've realised that my galaxy note 4 makes a terrible source. I need to stop spending money.

Bought the Questyle yesterday from minidisc. Paired it with focal clears. Haven't tried it with iems. Surprised at how tiny the store was

I had basically the same ground loop issue with my LSR305 monitors and it was especially bad when I was playing games. It was probably due to the cabling in my room. However, I got the Behringer HD400 Hum Destroyer and that completely eliminated it. Hope that ifi ground loop breaker works for you though man!

I have the same ground loop problem when i Serato Dj Software.

Thanks for cutting the fringe off Lachlan.

You made a good choice getting the cma400i imo it's a better unit than the cma600i which I had and sold because I had issues with it. Also the Jotunheim is shit. Look at the measurements on audiosciencereview.

The Jotunheim headphone jack doesn't turn off the pre-outs. They are permanently active, and so it sucks for an active monitor/headphone set up

No Stax?

Dayum, lucky with the audeze lottery! I'm jelly

You have to get some nicer speakers with your high end setup. I can recommend the ls50(passive) or the fluid audio fpx7(active).

You only get 10bit in Photoshop if using Quadro or similar amd cards

Hi Lachlan, would you consider selling your quest style is you still own it?

What? No review of the Questyle sound quality? Just the looks? Sheesh. Why did I listen to all that?

Nice setup. Please, make review on iDefender3.0

Can you review the LCD2C's for minidisc if you haven't already (and I missed it)

Hi Lachlan, do you think it's worth it to upgrade from the CMA400i to the CMA Twelve/Twelve Master?

Have you tried any LG phones with the Quad Dac? I have the LG g7 ThinQ pairing with the massdrop seinheisser 6XX(shipping in April) Would be awesome to see your thoughts on LG's Quad Dac.

Looks amazing! #360pgang

HA! saw your videos before and now just realizing you work at Minidisc. :)

Does the hood fit the LG 4K Ultrafine display? I think a better quality USB cable may solve the noise issue and music would sound better but I'll cost more than the iFi.

Heyy I need help i'm searching for some iem for djing with good bass in a price range with a maximum of 90€ i'm becoming mad (I don't know what TO choose between shure se 215 spe or ath e40) other iem proposes are accepted.

I just got it and having issues calibrating it with x-rite display pro using Pallette Master. First of all this monitor has a green cast out of the box. Then I am getting en error before validating the calibration. Sometimes it works but the results are terrible, all colors are washed out, dimm and still with a green cast. Have you encountered issues like these? Love your audio setup!

that t-shirt, oh my...

I remember seen you at minidic!

Welcome to the PCMR

Do you think you could send the link for that wallpaper that you have? Looks epic, thanks

hasn't this monitor got built in speakers

Hi Lachlans, Nice Video as always! Thanks. Oh, than can I ask if the LCD-2C can be run using the zx300? Maybe through the balanced output? It’s 47 Ohm as I remember correctly but I’m not into buying another DAC/amps combo when having my zx300 as a DAC. Many thanks ;)

Very rad Indeed.

Nice.

Where did you get that t shirt? Or should I say who makes it?

All this audio talk and you have KRK Rokits as studio monitors. You should take a look at some other brands.... like soon

Hi there! I'm a fan

Cut the ground pin off the KRK monitor power cords. Seriously.. it works.

nice ! :D

Callie best girl

your desktop wallpaper is hideous ..... i like it :)

If its on its side all the electric will fall out.

You payed for all that expensive shit and you cant't get a ground loop isolator? Better yet, fix your ground loop problem. Use the same wall plug for all your hardware. Plug your cables in the same orientation (with regard to Live and Null cables).

Do you like Starbucks
