    Question Amp/DAC

    For the two Schiit options, I was wondering if it is common for headphones to go above 300 ohms. Moreover is that a useful functionality for most?

    Question Amp/DAC

    Thank you! When it comes to Schiit products I've also heard a lot about the magni/ modi combo. I know this is over double the price, but would it be miles better?

    Question 144 hz monitor

    Looking to upgrade my monitor for gaming. Was looking for a monitor that had a 144Hz refresh rate and sub 3ms response time. I also wanted something that wasn't too bright or distorting because I do some photo editing. Didn't know if anyone had recommended models? Thanks! Also, budget is sub $400.

    I left the cpu ratio at all core and than changed the number to 42. I also disabled the Intel Speedstep technology.
