What's your latest tech purchase?

[R-T-B]

What did your brother do to deserve a Razer mouse?

Didn't pay. He's lucky it works at all, frankly.

I said "sold" but the sale was for a piece of a cookie, and it was kinda stale.

New USB-DAC FiiO E10K Olympus 2 for work ...



Update: Gotta say I really dig the small signature change it causes to my HD598s when listening to genres like metal, metalcore, alternative, rock, etc., but it's not as clear and airy as the sound I get when pluggin' my cans into the Essence STX.
Yet still, I couldn't be more happy about the purchase and the FiiO's tiny size goes nicely with the NUC that I use at work.

Got my house paid off!!

Before & After, still needs some TLC but getting there, trying to find a solution to remove the plastic that was left on it. Screws came up real good, found coffee inside the unit :|, 98% of that shits gone now. O yeah this is the 56LB teaser.

 

[DR4G00N]

Got this last month and the weather was finally nice enough today to take it out for a drive.

2015 Yamaha R3. Basically new, a year old and only 6500Km on it.

I'm leaning towards getting one of these. I've been thinking about it for a while and I think I might do it in the next week or two.

That's pretty good. 32-bit 384kHz stereo for under $100 is a nice deal.

I've been trying to make my own DAC for the past year or two... even have PCM1794 and PCM2707 laying around with some random OpAmp samples from Analog Devices and TI.
By the time I make it, I'll end up with an ancient 16-bit 48kHz paperweight

I haven't heard anything bad about the quality of the PCM5102 and people seem to like the Fiio E17K Alpen 2 so, it seems like a safe bet.

bought a second ec2a as a spareView attachment 86075

bought some adjustable dumbbells, so I can workout from home , I have even more flat pancake style plates, just not shown, so I can go up to 78.5 lb per handle, but the 14" spinlocks get kind of iffy when you fill them that far. Got a ton of other plates too but I wanted these compact style plates. hell of a deal, $15 for the handles (ebay/yes4all brand) and $.75 a lb from walmart for the cap brand plates.

 

[Darkleoco]

Finally found them in stock! It has been a good weekend!

 

[radrok]

Bought three Aquacomputer AMS rads, been wanting to put them in a desk mod for a while, gonna start building it up soon.

Quality is really good, they know how to make stuff.

As someone said, what are you gonna do with em, are you cooling the sun? ^_^

@Vario,
Looks like the dumbbells should serve you well on your way to a more muscular build.

surgical recovery from a spinal cord problem, lost about 50lbs of mass, went from 185 to 135, back to 165 now
unfortunately limited to doing really high rep stuff instead of heavy so i do like 20-30 reps per set
never getting big again but atleast I can get strong enough to get by

 

[biffzinker]

recovered from a spinal cord tumor, lost about 60lbs of mass

Sorry to hear that Vario. Was poking fun but without the malicious intend. Hopefully your alright though?

Nah its cool I don't really have an ego to pierce anymore

Muscle memory is nice though, rapid strength improvement, mostly just crank out reps
as far as fitness goes can't beat cheap dumbbell set, beats paying for a $60/mo gym

also got some new magpads just in time for summer repairs

Something I bought, but absolutely did not need (I'm bad about this) and is actually about to be listed in the B/S/T forum. You might wanna check it out, you know the prices I price...

Yes, this is a shameless plug, but it's for your own good and you know it:

Samsung 1TB 960 Pro

PS: Yes, there's some thermal goop on it from one of my former "incidents." It's been cleaned off as best I could, but well, my mobo was in pretty bad shape those days. I'm sure it won't hurt it. Hey free Kryonaut!

Man that is nice. Are the heatsinks permanently stuck? that particular setup is something I have been eyeballing as my next upgrade actually. $400 too steep for me though Waiting for NVME 1TB to get to $200, if it ever does.
