FYI: I've updated my github repo (see my signature) with my configuration for Ubuntu 20.04. I incorporated feedback that I received from Tanu Kaskinen, a pulseaudio developer.

Hi! Please check my github repository (see my signature). I have my current configuration that works very well. I relied on multiple online sources for this, as well as communication with Tanu Kaskinen, a pulseaudio developer.

Enjoy it in good health and please consider rating me on eBay :)

Selling my Project Polaris Amp!! Unlike other audio purchases you know how this particular unit performs down to a T since Amirm reviewed it here. Original price for this unit is $250 I won't bother to put any pictures since Amirm is a far better photographer than I am :) $180 gets you the...

Please don't use a white background, can't see anything :)

Off topic, but I guess there's two main reasons that people hate MQA: The technical aspects which are a little bit shady as has been covered here. The fact that no one has been able to prove that there's an SQ improvement using MQA doesn't help ... and the commercial aspect which involves...

Even by subjectivists standards Zeos ears are low res. The likelihood of Zeos picking up any type of distortion measured by the AP analyzer are zero LOL
