Retro Products With Modern Features

You can really feel how much he's putting into these videos. I don't mind waiting longer than the old schedule.

DOPE OR NOPE IS BACKKKKKK

You... need a DAC. They're not gimmicks, they're in every digital device you own that plays sound. You can't listen to digital music, it has to be converted to analog in order to be played

i can smell the audiophiles dying at him not being able to find tracks, calling mid range headphones expensive, and buying 1k worth of dac at double the price.

I'm gonna miss the energy the old trio had, but I love the laid back vibes of your new reviews, it makes it feel more personal instead of "this is a show where we buy random wacky things and mess around" (which will always have a place in my heart). Looking forward for more!

I missed you, Matthias. After your brothers ended, Team Edge. I cried 😢😢😢

35:53 - To quote an Australian YouTuber who also does product reviews "Awe man, things used to be made out of stuff"

Okay, I honestly love this new style of reviewing. It’s just so nice, calm, and feels so professional while still having your chaotic charm to it. I don’t mind it only being 6 to 12 videos a year :)

this feels way more mature and thorough. I've always watched dope or nope no matter what, but I think this new format is honestly a huge improvement and it seems way more relaxed at the same time.

Matthias has taken on the aesthetic of an amalgamation of John Lennon and Steve Jobs and I’m here for it! ❤

OK, a little clarity here regarding him thinking "DACs" are useless. DACs are everywhere. There is a DAC (digital analog converter) in your phone, your computer, your game console, everywhere that audio is coming in digital form.

ive watched these videos for such a long time, matthias' content was practically my whole childhood. i havent revisited this channel in 4+ years til now .. and wow is all i have to say,, it feels so much more mature now. no matter how iconic the old trio was, im enjoying seeing how much dope or nope has evolved. super happy to see it back :)

My company Sandwich made the Playdate commercial and were we being cheeky and self-aware when we called it high-res? Maybe! Yes of course we were duh. Also that’s our post-production creative person Jenny who narrates and says Maybe! and in the 3 or 4 years since this commercial came out, we have never stopped dropping Maybe! into most conversations. Love the video! You’re great. Keep being you.

Been a Dope or NOPE fan for years and I am LOVING this new format. So happy to see you back!

It seems like it would be a much more fun project to physically build a TV like that. If the TV and soundbar cost 150. Wouldn't it be a fun build the retro TV yourself. Then not only would it look better, and you have more control on how it functions, but you can be proud of the thing you made as well.

13:29 that satisfying crack. Should be the new Nintendo Switch Startup sound.

For anyone who doesn't know, the importance of a DAC is the quality of the conversion of the audio. Anything digital (PC, phone, MP3 player, your car, etc) has a DAC in order to play music, as the DAC is what turns the binary 1's and 0's into listenable audio. The better the DAC, the better the recreation of the analogue audio. A higher quality DAC has lower distortion, better signal-to-noise ratio, better dynamic range, and lets you get more out of your music. That said, the price-to-performance ratio gets steep, so while having a dedicated DAC can be a great thing, you don't need to break your budget unless you're an audiophile with a large wallet.

I love how this series has seemingly grown up with all of us. Keep it up I already want more.

You really just don't know where to get FLAC files from homie?

Ah yes, the magical DAC. The thing that's definitely not also in every device that plays sound.
