    Denon AVR-X3600H AV Receiver Review

    Hi gang, I kinda regret purchasing an x3600h because at the time, I broke up with my girlfriend and moved in a rental house with a guy who had a projector and an even fancier AVR than me ;) So it was boxed up for a year or two, and now I'm finally using it properly, connected to a 65" OLED and...

    In praise of the Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 (integrated amp, streamer, room correction)

    Thank you OP for your post. All I see from reviews is positive comments on the 1120. I did not know this existed, have not followed the brand at all, but that is how it is. You never heard of something and then a week later, you feel like an expert from reading so much online. I was looking...

    Potential New 3.5mm USB-C Dongles & USB DAC/AMPs

    Sorry zek to be more clear, I want to buy one good custom cable, like the one in your image, but then find an adaptor that would allow me to plug that 4.4mm end into a 3.5mm jack directly, or 6.3mm into my amp.

    Potential New 3.5mm USB-C Dongles & USB DAC/AMPs

    I've received the Shanling UA2, and can definitely tell of the difference in the audio quality when plugged into my Galaxy S10+ smartphone and playing MP3 files via Blackplayer. It does get warm, but not hot. I'm now wondering if I should get a balanced headphone cable for my Focal Clear. I...

    Potential New 3.5mm USB-C Dongles & USB DAC/AMPs

    Hi Saidera, greetings from lockdowned Melbourne. I got envious of the new Z Fold 3, and was contemplating getting one, but I thought why bother, as my Galaxy S10 is decent enough. But I still wanted a tablet, so I went out and found an old iPad Mini 2 with out of date but still functional iOS...

    Review and Measurements of the Topping D70 DAC

    I bought the D70 used for US$300 in Australia ($400) after comparing lots of DACs, not using MQA or bluetooth it's less than half the price of a new D70s or even more for other options. I tried -12db in Pre mode, was inferior to running in DAC mode. Was originally gonna run my setup without a...

    I have read this thread with interest as was looking to upgrade Topping D10S (which itself is only a few week old, I bought it used). Comparing all DACs from the price of this Leaf, all the way to X26 Pro - I ended up getting a used Topping D70 (non S). There are quite a few on the various...

    Old DAC died, looking for a new one with a remote (and other requirements)

    I second the D70s. I have spent hours going from knowing barely anything about DAC chips and various chifi models, to homing in on this specific one. Best bang for the buck, and I also considered SGD1, X16, A18, A22, X26 Pro, D90. All that's left is deciding if I should buy locally for 10%...

    Soncoz SGD1 vs PS Audio DirectStream Dac

    Thanks for running this test. I just bought a used Topping D10s for AU$70 (US$54.25) and noticed it was much better than my Fiio E10K for my PC setup. Now I am looking for a DAC for my living room floor-standers, and a PS Audio came up for sale on a used gear forum here, for AU$2800 (US$2170)...

    Anthem STR Integrated vs MiniDSP+Purifi

    Hiya, I want to bump this thread because it's the closest to my current thoughts, and also my first post on ASR after reading for hours and hours. I'm an IT nerd from way back but only a beginner getting into audio gear, so quality audio backed up by science is why I love this forum. @Mike-48...
