How did tech become 90% asians? I'm a CS major and fucking nobody here is white. What the fuck happened?

>just buy this 2000 dollar fishnet chair
For fucks sake. Where are the budget chairs? When i was younger you could just go and buy a 100 dollar chair and it would be the best chair you had ever sat in. Now you pay 500 dollars to sit on a wooden plank.

Hand over the headphones or else.

>AVOID:
Schiit - you will receive a broken product and they will charge you for returns.
Hifiman/Moondrop/Superlux and every other chinese headphone brand - Garbage build quality, significant variation between units, fraudulent marketing everywhere. Your headband will snap at some point.

>Recommended DAC/amp brands:
No NEED to spend a large amount of money on a DAC or Amp. Even a cheap JM20 dongle is capable of producing a clean signal. Get something within your budget and based on your output/input needs.
• JCally JM20/Any dongle/miniDAC with an AK4377/CS43131 chip
• White: Geshelli/JDS Labs
• chinese: SMSL/Topping/FiiO
• Expensive: RME ADI-2/Benchmark/etc
