    What do folks here think of products like the Matrix Element H

    I had lately on the dreaded Head-fi come across the mention of the Matrix Element H which makes vague claims of improved USB audio quality. I don't think I have seen discussions about such "audiophile USB ports/interfaces" here yet, i.e. of more upstream tweaks than fancy USB cables or filters...

    Topping HS02 USB isolator early impressions

    I couldn't find a lot of information about the Topping HS02 USB isolator online from people actually using one so I thought I'd post some of my early impressions of using it. I had a pretty bad noise coming out of the USB connections from my PC motherboard. It didn't matter if I had the output...

    "swish" sound with Hidizs S9 on Android

    Hi there, I have a Hidizs S9 that I bought ages ago for use with my phone, but I haven't used it much because I've never really managed to get it working right. It has a lot of hiss at low volumes when not using exclusive audio mode apps. It's a kind of swish noise that fades up as the track...

    Audio Interface from USB to AES XLR (per channel)

    Afternoon All I've been working away at building a pair of Active Studio monitors. After about 2 1/2 years of waiting for DSP's and delays on Class D amplifiers, they're making noise. I'm currently running from an analogue signal from the PC to analogue XLR inputs on each monitor. But the...

    Buy USB isolator for E70 Velvet? E50? E30II?

    When one is plagued by weird noises or hums that disappear when the USB cable is removed then it makes sense to add USB isolators. When your system is totally quiet when no music is playing (or digital 'zero') then there is no need nor any benefit of adding USB isolators, EMC filters, reclockers...

    How is this possible? Shunyata power line filtering (with video)

    ...USB fed DACs is ground loops. I did some measurements of USB fed DACs using a Pi, Intel NUC and a laptop, none of which had this famous USB noise. With some laptops, the power brick itself can cause noise on the USB, but this is noise injected from the power supply and not USB noise as...

    Please help. Mic, speakers and headphones!

    I can't recommend speakers, and there is usually a lot of personal preference involved. If you get active monitors you can plug them into your interface (without an amplifier). A weaker signal means a worse signal-to-noise ratio. You amplify the signal, the noise also gets amplified and...

    Sabaj A30a announced

    There is an unknown device displayed on USB in Device Manager, but is the display the same even if I disconnect the A30a's USB cable? Windows should be able to recognize the A30a without installing the driver XMOS_USBAudio_v5.68.0_2024-02-13_setup normally provided by Sabaj. Therefore, I suspect...

    Looking for a new Audio Interface

    What's wrong with the sound now? he main differences will be gain (presumably with the FetHead you've got enough gain) and noise (hum, hiss, or whine in the background). The most important things are usually your studio space and the microphone (and your performance). With a microphone most...

    Help Shape Our Upcoming CD Player for 2024

    I favor option A with USB out. Currently, I'm using a very cheap DVD player hooked to the PC with EQ Apo. The main concern is mechanical noise when music is playing. I'm seeking a basic device, therefore no DAC, USB out, and no noise.

    A Basic question regarding "Digital Input Sample Rates"

    Regarding sound quality, there is another aspect besides sample rate and bit depth and that is transfer of noise and ground loops. It depends on your setup and the entire chain, but USB can sometimes transfer a lot of noise which destroys the sound quality. I've experienced this myself: even...

    Topping D10s USB DAC and Bridge Review

    Honestly, just use a good USB adapter, like a first party Samsung charger or LG or HTC, as all of those are quality. Otherwise, just buy one quality charger.
