hello world

  • shipped the new site
  • locked all old threads
  • cleaned up some spam

rip kuu2

the initial commit of the frontend was 7 years ago and used vue
the backend went through at least 2 complete rewrites, one in clojure and one in nodejs
the data model stayed pretty much the same since 2014 or whatever

now it’s time for kuu3

my setup is kinda convoluted though

i have

pc -> ol dac -> atom amp -> headphones

record player -> little bear preamp -> switch
switch -> lepai amp -> powered subwoofer -> bookshelf speakers

lol

fair i guess
what headphones do you have?

rei
2026-03-23 23:39:45
#19930

DT 770 PRO
32 ohms, so I’m guessing I shouldn’t neccessarily need anything particularly high-end. Definitely not something that costs twice as much as the cans themselves.

pikdum
2026-03-23 23:45:07
#19931

nice
can’t most devices nowadays can do 32 ohms without issue though

but dongles are neat too: https://www.fiio.com/ka1

I got my PS3 hooked up to the monitor, though, whose output jack is pretty weak. So I figured since the PC’s audio is already hooked to it aswell I’d just slap an amp in front of it.

pikdum
2026-03-23 23:53:03
#19933

ah
so are you like hdmi -> monitor -> headphones then, for both ps3 and pc?

rei
2026-03-23 23:54:36
#19934

Exactly. All the other consoles are connected to the second TV, which drives the headphones plenty well by itself.

*TV (also used as second monitor)

pikdum
2026-03-23 23:56:43
#19936

i’d guess it won’t sound great if you add an amp to be hdmi -> monitor -> amp -> headphones then
since monitor already has a shitty dac + amp
will be louder though i guess

rei
2026-03-23 23:59:11
#19937

Meh, if I can make it moderately louder without adding a considerable amount of noise on top, I’ll be happy enough.

Obviously. Doesn’t mean you can’t make things recognizable as something in low-res.
There’s a reason they made the fairies orbs with wings in N64 Zelda. I don’t think there were many players who couldn’t tell what they were supposed to be when they first showed up.

maybe, was mostly just seeing how it all worked
actually pretty straightforward for the basics, but can see event scripting being pretty cumbersome
haven’t delved into plugins yet, think it uses ruby?
don’t really like ruby
