Integrated caught up a long time ago, it's no longer the 'days of the old' where it was absolutely dreadful. You could probably squeeze more out of a separate DAC for sure, but in the end it's all about your ears, what sound good/clear to you and what doesn't. Some people swear by 24 bit FLACs being of exceptional quality(even tho above 16 it's humanly impossible to hear) while others can't differentiate between 128kbps encoded track to lossless, same applies here.
Depends. At least with headphones, a quality integrated audio might actually be a better option vs expensive soundcards since they usually have a relatively low output impedance. As for speaker systems, I wouldn't know since I don't really use them.
Never heard of one but I guess there might be.
Nah, I use it to read the forums sometimes too, but I prefer my tablet. Using the phone only for communication is just too mainstream!
How is it impossible to "hear" above 16-bit audio? That's "bit depth" or resolution vs sample rate, which may have something to do with human perception. 96 KHz, yes, it's "technically" above human range. But these are all digital representations that are later converted to our way of hearing things. The principle behind it is: the more information (or better representation), the better reconstruction of the original signal.
Well it's pretty much as I suspected. I'm not an audio expert but I've worked on signal (image) processing before and resolution + data representation play a big role, specially as the method complexity and data size grow. But the same idea applies: playback (viewing) wise, you can't tell.I forgot I wasn't talking to someone for whom I'll have to simplify certain things
So instead of me fumbling around with half baked concents and poor range of expression, I give you what a simple google search result(scroll down a bit)

EDIT: It also happens to be Xiph, I don't really need to state why I'd easily consider that a very trust-able source.
If you're looking for something more integrated, my ASUS Maximus Formula VII motherboard actually does have analog outputs for a 5.1 setup, though I'm just using a S/PDIF output to my receiver right now as it is easier.
That'd be a good idea. In fact I thought there was one, but won't bother trying to find it. That's YOUR job.
It's part of life really. If you have people dragging you down or being a negative part of your life, evaluating why they are part of it is definitely a good, though not easy, thing. All you can do is learn and move forward if you want to grow as a person and find new people to share yourself with if need be. I had a 'best friend' that I was friends with for years who was talking and doing shit behind my back and then lying to my face, so I finally cut him off. It sucked, but it needed to be done.
Easy to say, hard to do and harder to realize. Not everyone reach this moment at time.
I guess it is kind of normal then. You know growing up I remember my sister having fallouts with some of her best friends and I thought that was pretty weird, because I rarely had a quarrel with any of my friends.
There are so many situations and scenarios and people out there that it's hard to say what is normal and not.I guess it is kind of normal then. You know growing up I remember my sister having fallouts with some of her best friends and I thought that was pretty weird, because I rarely had a quarrel with any of my friends.
But you know as we grow, we change so.. yeah. Sometimes what each of us changes into, really does not fit with the other. It's kind of sad but that seems like a time to kind of.. break off.
Good thing is that at this age, both era and "age" (twenties), I feel like it's quite easy to start new friendships. So cheers to that.
:cheers:
By the way @SerieLis , you gots to axe now. Can't start a conversation and then leave. I won't be able to sleep. There will be this feeling of unfullfillment.
I will say that unfortunately there are a lot of shitty people out there, but there are really good ones too. Sounds like you got the lucky roll in your life with who you ended up with. I honestly didn't have problems with my ex-best friend until I found out what he was doing and it just damaged everything. I moved around quite a bit growing up and sometimes I wonder what would have happened with old friends as opposed to the ones I made later in life. Ah well, the show must go on!
