Wondering if my old A/V receiver suitable over a DAC/AMP combo for gaming/music.

For context:

• Got a pair of 250 ohm DT 990 pros.
• Enjoyed an ESS sabe DAC/AMP built in mobo solution that worked great with amp (gigabyte aurus gaming 7)
• New motherboard just has realtek garbage, DT 990's flat as all hell
• Ordered a schiit hel, been on backorder for 6 weeks now.
• Decided to hook up an older A/V receiver to drive my cans, it sounds great. Using SPDIF-out so its using the A/V DAC.

Its a JVC RX-7030VBK (RX-7030V on the front) circa ~04. The A/V receiver drives the cans great, from reviews of similar model numbers the imaging was commended. Will I get any value out of a schiit hel? Look

I put an order for a schiit hel. For reference I have a pair of DT 990 Pro (250ohm). The hel has been on backorder for ages now.

Anyway I hooked up an old audio receiver through SPDIF and am driving the cans without issues. The receiver is a JVC RX-7030VBK (RX-7030V on the front). Probably from '04.

Is there any reason to keep the hel order? like quality wise?

Do I gain anything at all other than a mic input? loss of desk space?

Asking because the audio solution from my new rigs motherboard was terrible (went from ESS Sabre dac built in to from my gigabyte board to this realtek garbage and had the flattest audio ever out of the 990s), but I see no issues using my old receiver. Though I

I'm getting a wierd problem. Seems like a driver issue. For reference I have a G903 and G Pro lightweight. Issue is with both.

Basically when I unplug the wireless dongle and plug it into the mouse directly there is a chance (like 1/8) that all mouse devices stop functioning. I can plug other mice in to a different USB port (say my deathadder, g400, g502, scimiatar elite). They all light up. Cannot move mouse pointer. The logitech mouse says its charging (blinking LED) but moving it also does not move the cursor.

This is 100% reproducible. I just unplug the wireless dongle and plug the cable into the mouse. Repeat a few times. Boom broken mouse input across ALL pointer devices on windows

So I noticed that GPU utilization on my RTX 3090 (yes a 3090, they exist) was in the 60-90% range while playing Project Diablo 2. I was like what the hell its a 20 year old game.

I dug through and found a config file that let me set a fps limit of sorts.

I set the following to these values and my GPU utilization went from 60-90% to 7-9% (With 3% looking to be just windows and firefox).

$installDir\Diablo II\ProjectD2\ddraw.ini

maxfps=60
...
minfps=-1

For higher refresh rate people I set the following for my 144hz display, but was using 25% of my GPU. I turned it down back to 60 because D2 runs at 25 FPS anyway. I might even try setting it to 25 as that is what d2 is re

I've been running interchange, and i think I kill on average 5-6+ player scavs. BSG - put limits on this shit. Its unreal. Its all tight corridors and you cant even loot the mall.

I've gone into the mall and there was player scavs ALREADY LOOTING before I could even get there. The kicker? I had an SJ6 running (going to techlight from power).

Whatever you changed - fix it. Its stupid. The map is already rat city, besides having to worry about the army of player scavs.

With all the tech, being able to jack into devices, why do vehicles in cyberpunk even have steering wheels?

Thoughts?

Feels like a missed opportunity!
