@JIW @staticV3 Sorry, I took a little time to reply. Those are awesome options. Thank You. SMSL PO100 is available at my end for around 45$ USD. I think I will pick either this or the Xonar SE sound card. The sound card goes in the PCIe slot and does not add the devices, thus I am leaning...

I have two devices that I need to connect to my DAC. Both have Type C, and none have Optical or RCA. Thus, I am confused.

I saw that one, it needs SPDIF pins on the Motherboard to connect. Surprisingly, or rather non-surprisingly, my last two motherboards had that connector, to skim costs, the modern ones don't have it. Thus, that's not an option.

Thank you, That too is an option. We don't have 10$ sorts available, but a Xonar SE would cost me 40$ or something.

Thank You @nanook Thank You @RHO Sorry, my questions are too basic. The SPDIF option is out, as I realized my motherboard lacks that. I am now getting XLR cables for the DAC to the Speaker. Type C to Type C for DAC to PC 4.5MM Balanced Line Out to Coaxial or Optical for DAP to DAC. (DAP has...

Sorry to bug you again. Would something like this be okay, or should I go for Neutik Connectors? Regular: https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B09GP8S8KK?smid=A15W6H7DCW6GDN&th=1 Neutrik: https://www.amazon.in/Sonic-Plumber-Neutrik-Balanced-Microphone/dp/B08HJ29ZXY?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

Thank You, I will go with Optical cable. I have that port on the Motherboard. and XLR for speakers as you had advised.

Thank you, will explore that. :D

Thank you for making it simple. I will explore Amazon or some stores for decent XLR cables. Is there any other advisable way to connect PC --> DAC, I also have a DAP that I wish to connect once in a while, and the USB C-to-USB C I thought would be ideal for that. Thank You - again.

Thank you for the guidance, I ordered the DAC, I should receive it in 3-4 days. My system would be Speakers (Kali LP6 V2) that has XLR, and TRS ends as Balanced inputs. I would be using my PC as a source. Can someone advise on the ideal cables I should go with the PC + DAC + Speakers in...

Yeah, the option to get an audition or testing is not the luxury that I have. So I am going with what I read and see, and ask questions. Thank you, Again

@RHO I know specs are not everything, more than the chip it's about the implementation of the chip. So your point is very valid and I accept that. I try to understand the graphs but half of the things go over my head. o_O. And you are correct, it's the same for almost all the reviews...

Thank you that helps. I heard a lot of cool things about R2R, and usually they are expensive, that's how Fiio landed there. Otherwise, I avoid Fiio even as a Dap, most of the times they sound too bright. I would prefer more details and a fuller sound, thus Mda1 feels better. I have a Kali lp6...

I am in India, not every DAC gets released out here. Nor I can test or audition. I go by specifications and try to learn about the device and user experience. SMSL DO100 Pro hasn't released at my end. And aliexpress etc won't work. (this site usually has the most stock in India -...

Hello, I never owned a DAC. I have an active speakers pair, that I use with my PC. I also have DAP or my phone that at times I wish to use with my Speakers but the whole process is tedious. I also plan to get a subwoofer whenever I could afford one. Would the DAC be a good choice for me? I...

@Miniyouuuu - that's a good way, I would look at them and try to create a filter in my list. Thank You. @Hexspa - You are completely right.... I pushed my budget for Kali LP6 as well, I was going to settle for a JBL which was 350$ for a pair vs Kali's which costed me around 430$. However...

@Miniyouuuu I saw the Excel file and it had a - High Pass Filter for Mains / Output - column. For the "delay and phase" do I need to check on each subwoofer's specifications? Sorry if this is a very noob question. I am learning as I explore.

Since I read up on some threads, I realized many are using WiiM as streaming. I don't have WiiM device. I still am a noob I think, :facepalm: I still use my VLC and my Desktop PC as my music source. I have Equalizer APO for EQ settings. Also, I have a DAP that at times I connect to the...

@ry_ RSL 10E looks good - but I am limited by brands available here. RSL sadly isn't imported by anyone.

@kemmler3D - Thank you for pointing me in that direction. I downloaded that Excel and filtered the options that I had. And I think by room measurements I am more towards Medium Bass-Badge. (1871 sqft) Though, I don't know if any would work well with Kali, or if there have been some good or...
