Just set up the Elacs DBR 62 and Loxjie A30. Bought the K&M 26772 stands which I might sent back and replace by ISO 155. K&M are great. They don't use a lot of space and I could put something under the speakers if needed but the stands do swing like crazy when I induce vibrations by gently...

ALLM just turns off all the unnecessary processing automatically to reduce latency to a minimum. ALLM is not necessary. But I am still surprised that there isn't such a device. There are only small DACs/amps with HDMI eARC. But no single one with HDMI input and HDMI output (capable of 4k...

I have come across another issue. I initially planned to set up my Nintendo Switch and a Xbox Series X on my desk while the latter is not in my possession so far. But I just found out that Microsoft blocked the audio output via USB on the XSX. Probably to make some extra money through licensed...

Yesterday I made the final decision. I decided to go with the Loxjie A30 because it's small, looks nice, has a volume control and bluetooth, it's cheap and it's not crap from a technical point of view. It arrived today and I immediately tested if there are noises produced by the power supply or...

I decided to go passive. I already laid my eyes on almost brand new Elac DBR 62 on the used market for half the price. Assuming I want to go with Topping, there are still two problems. Which Bluetooth capable DAC to pair with the PA3s or PA5? How can I connect a subwoofer if I want one in the...

Good to know, thank you. But I made one mistake. I ignored the fact that the D10S does not have an additional power supply. It gets it's power only via USB port :D

Is it possible to use the USB input of the D10S to connect it to a phone and use the phone as media source (not as power source) to avoid a device that is Bluetooth capable?

What would be the benefit of D3020v2 + Topping D10s over the NAD D3045 which I could connect directly to the PC via USB? Isn't it better to keep the number of components as low as possible?

I've done some more research but still totally uncertain. The NAD d3020v2 doesn't have a USB input, right? My Asrock X300 doesn't have a optical output. I have to use USB. Thus I need to choose the NAD D3045 instead, right? I saw your thread. I like your solution. But Elac dbr 62 + NAD D3045 is...

Hi guys, I am reading in this forum for 2 weeks now I would say and still can't figure out the direction I should go :D I am looking for a speaker set up for my desktop. 1500€ for speaker + DAC (with Bluetooth). But can be much cheaper too if it meets my needs. I will use it for working from...
