    Loxjie D30 DAC and Headphone Amplifier Review

    No I did mean the EL DACII, I know it doesn't have a headphone amplifier or Bluetooth. I was speaking directly about my impressions about the Topping D50s I own vs the ELDAC II. DAC TO DAC. https://jdslabs.com/product/el-dac-ii/

I would highly encourage someone to give the JDS a try they have a two-week return policy I really feel you would be very pleasantly surprised and it's an American company! Number two the power supply...

    Review and Measurements of Schiit Saga Tube Pre-amp

    I had the first version and I wound up selling it as I could not get the volume I like ( sometimes) loud enough. My Amp is a Linn LK 140 with 22k input impedance. Seeing this review helps me understand why. My Dac has a 2v output and low output impedance ( D50s)

    Tempotec Sonata HD Pro Review (headphone Adapter)

    I have high interest in this thread. I'd like to pull the trigger on one. The Linsoul E1A for 119.00 on Amazon looks like it would be a step up all the way around? Or are you all holding pat on Sonata Pro pound for pound best buy.

    Best budget DAC nowadays?

    I have a D50S in my main rig. You sold it and the Tempotec just as good? Really? I'm looking at the Linsoil G3 and Hidez S9. And DX3Pro. Thx

    AudioQuest Dragonfly Cobalt Review (Portable Headphone Adapter)

    I'm in dongle hell too right now. I like your comments and see you have listened to a fair share of the top ones here on ASR. I may have missed it, have you heard the Hidez S9 vs G3. I was also considering the Topping DX3Pro. The Linsoil is 119 on Amazon like your comments reviews are very high...
