I share my settings for a tube amp so others can check, the falloff was best guess. In my case it adds character to the sound. I have a question though. Does it resample the bitdepth or sample rate of the audio chain or it works natively?

Thanks for this. It works on Win7 x64 albeit I get no presets option in the plugin, when used with EAPO at least. Also it tends to clip easily so I guess I should use more subtle values.

And just an expensive DAC, and an expensive (balanced) amp ;)

Found it here while researching.

What do you recommend me to pair the Qudelix with, DT 770 Pro 32 or 80 Ohm? With the 32 Ohm, there's an issue though, I used the Qudelix power chart and it clips a lot over 1.60 Volts, does that mean I can only use Standard mode (1V RMS) mode in the app? I guess since the 770 Pro is unbalanced I...

USB to D10 -> Optical Out to D50s, interesting.

Optical causes jitter issues due to mobos poor audio clocking. EDIT: would work as a lowfi alternative tho.

I don't know how I am going to solve the noise issues then, going HiFi for hearing coil whine through the cans when watching a movie : / An USB decrappifier maybe... didn't want to spend that money though. Like shooting in the dark, if that fails then a Linear PSU.

Does it make a difference if I power it from the last or the first plug of a power strip as in clean current? Also does somebody know where to buy USB cables or adapters without the power pins? (5v pin and ground)

Well I don't know then, the power supply is one of the best, a Corsair RM550, I think a Seasonic inside or a Super Flower, good ripple suppresion. I think it's just how this things are designed. I might need an USB decrappifier at worst. I don't think the issue is with the DAC PSU but in the...

Yes, but the D50s is external, the only thing that the PSU should affect the DAC is through the USB power pins... OR the power strip : /

Yes, I'm using an external one 5V 2A, but it's not linear. Some people advocate for removing the power pins on the USB connector though.

Is the output of the D50s fine for a power amp that feeds 8 Ohm speakers or do I need a preamp? Also I'm having noise issues when the graphics card is on load, I guess it must be the USB, has this happened to anyone?

I want to buy this, but I need it also to work as a preamp for 8 ohm speaker, should I buy a separate preamp?

Would it work as a preamp for 8 ohm speakers if used at default current?
