    Interface better than MiniFuse 1? (under 200$) to use with DT770 Pro 250 ohms

    Linsoul E1DA 9038D6K is fantastic for 130$. I use it with Senny HD650 and Focal Elex. Plenty of power.

    Best low-budget DAC or Interface for listening only

    Linsoul E1DA 9038D6K is fantastic for 130$. I use it with Senny HD650 and Focal Elex. Plenty of power, it is lowd at 50% volume. 60% is so loud,it is painful.

    E1DA 9038D Review (portable DAC & Amp)

    I just got the 9038D6K version from Amazon. It's very small - a true miniature. Hat is off to the company for being able to achieve such a high SNR/SINAD in such a small package. The aluminum enclosure is very solid.

    Is there a speaker more useful for me than the D&D 8C?

    D&D 8C has distortion around 3% at 200Hz and 1% at 1kHz at 96db. If an amp / DAC / etc would perform this poor everyone would scream murder. For a fraction of the price KH150 has much lower distortion and very good dispersion. Add a sub and you are done. KH420 is also great.

    Nice looking speaker cables that aren't expensive?

    Benchmark sells really good cables: https://benchmarkmedia.com/collections/cables. Not sure if you'll like the look.

    State of the Art passive full-range speakers?

    I prefer the narrower dispersion of the S7T for imaging and less room reverb. However, 15k$ is a very good deal on Meta 2 Blades. I say it's a win-win. Which ones do you like aesthetically? Nothing wrong in this case with some subjective choice. S7T is geeky looking - like a Lego block.

    Review and Measurements of Okto DAC8 8Ch DAC & Amp

    My understanding is the high pitched noise is from the screen's ceramic capacitors and not from software but I may be mistaken.

    NC252MP (class D) vs. A250W4R (classAB) burst measurements into 4ohm//2.2uF load

    The measurements on the first page. Has anyone heard the difference between -118db SINAD for a DAC and -120 db? Why is one measurement sacred and the other unacceptable?
