Dear #Fediverse #Video people, does there exist such a thing as a #VGA to #Displayport adapter? I have an elderly machine that only has VGA, and my KVM only has Displayport. The usual suppliers of cheap electronic tat are only advertising DP-to-VGA adapters, and I'm not convinced that cheap electronic tat will convert in the direction I need. I definitely don't need high resolution or ridiculous refresh rates - this is VGA, and I'm not an #̶a̶u̶d̶i̶o̶p̶h̶o̶o̶l̶ video gamer.

This is either "AI" #slop or someone who really, really doesn't understand electricity and audio signals. It's talking about a standard 3.5mm headphone/mic jack on consumer audio devices, and says this when talking about straight vs. right-angle plugs:
> Straight connectors provide a direct connection between the audio source
> and the output device, minimizing signal loss and interference. This results
> in a cleaner and more accurate representation of the audio, allowing you to
> fully appreciate the nuances of the sound.
>
> In contrast, right-angle connectors can sometimes cause signal degradation
> due to the sharp angle at which the connector is bent. This can lead to audio
> distortion or loss, impacting the overall quality of the sound output.If this gentleman has discovered a population of electrons that can tell when they've made a 90-degree turn inside a conductor, I think a #Nobel physics prize is in store for him.

#audiophool DAC recap complete. Running some quick tests to make sure it works (and out of curiosity). As it typical, it offers a range of different digital interpolation filters. The one called "optimal spectrum" was selected. It's unclear to me what about it is supposed to be optimal.

"The module designs apply diversity using separation and segregation to ensure that first, they do not introduce a single point of failure, which could potentially damage your system. Secondly, to mitigate the potential for feedback into your system. Feedback has a detrimental effect on both your system and the process to remove the un-wanted energy by presenting resistance. In the extreme it could stop the process all together by cancelling the flow."

«We didn't think it could be any better, but our New "Ultimate" is world-class and then some! We are now using a push-pull I Core design instead of the single core, and we have upgraded our Black Out powder mixture for a broader noise absorption parameter.»
It's a FUSE. A $225 fuse.

«Using a special process, which has incorporated our 30 years of experience in the optimization of audiophile audio components, the material receives a special formatting information. The formatted material brings about that electromagnetic frequencies are harmonized and electromagnetic pollution (electro smog) is minimized.»

«Actual Redbook CD players have gotten rare, real high-end mechanisms aren‘t even existing anymore. Today, we know that the drive is essential for reading all the 16 bits out of a CD and most CD players have never seen more than 10 bits.»

«This is where the magic happens... the SuperTubeClock™ replaces the solid state oscillator normally found in a DAC with a mini triode vacuum tube. By using a tube, we have significantly lowered the amount of jitter and noise, resulting in superior detail retrieval. This in turn yields superior detail and dynamics from top to bottom, and improved overall musicality.»

«On the front panel, both the McIntosh logo and handcrafted statement are illuminated by direct LED backlighting for a distinct and awe inspiring appearance.»
An LED in a box. For $1500.

«It is also equipped with the same active ULF field generator that is used in the SR PowerCell 12 UEF which re-clocks high frequency ground noise to the earth's Schumann resonance.»
