    How to get my DAC amp idea manufactured?

    I would like to congratulate you on your drive and determination, I hope it works out for you. The first thing you should do is consult a patent attorney. I would hate to see you put this in production and then be sued for patent-infringement.

    Show us your CD rig

    Welcome to ASR! As far as CD players go, they're not popular on this forum as most of our membership stream (>80 pct. in my estimation, including me). You may be better suited to looking on vintage audio forums if you wish to see interesting CD players. Not saying we don't have CD players, we...

    Speakers for Loxjie A30

    Oh, I was almost going to say the ES20's, I was afraid they were a little too pricey. I'm glad you can consider them! (Just between us, if both StaticV3 and I like a speaker, you can be sure it's a damn good speaker!)

    Speakers for Loxjie A30

    At that price point, I can recommend two very good, and very safe, choices : the KEF Q150 and the Polk ES15. If you really want to save money, the Micca RB42. Welcome to ASR, now your adventure begins!

    How many on ASR don't runs subs of any kind.? & why.....

    I can only comment on 2 channel stereo listening. If you take your time, and select the right speakers -- I'm not saying this is easy, as there are many factors involved -- then you will not need a subwoofer. In fact, the subwoofer may 'get in the way' of the speakers. If, however, you have a...

    Best Bang for the Buck DAC / Do it all DAC

    This is an interesting question, and there have been several excellent answers. For me, I will vote for the Topping D10 Balanced as a stand - alone. As for a streamer/DAC, you just can't beat the WiiM for value and quality, you really can't.

    Hum from a toroidal transformer

    That's good, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a ground loop in the unit itself (and I would take a hard look at that chassis). Tell me, do you feel a slight 'sting' when you touch the unit when it's on?

    Hum from a toroidal transformer

    Guys, is it possible that this unit is not grounded properly? Because that's the first thing I would check.

    DAC with 2 chips sound any better than a dac with only one chip ?

    Think of the tone controls on your old receiver, the ones you used with your old 'record player'. PEQ is tone controls on steroids.

    Monoprice Liquid Spark DAC by Alex Cavalli Review

    AFAIK, this is no longer available. It's been reincarnated as as headphone amplifier sans DAC. Amir, any chance you can get your hands on this thing for an honest review?

    Of course; the entire unit is digital. Please note the 'aux out' jack on the back.

    Advice request - My first hifi system - CABLES

    I'm tempted to tell you to go to a hardware store, buy lamp cord, strip the ends and wire it in. Instead, I'll just tell you that Blue Jeans Cable is hard to beat.

    Headphones recommendations for enjoyment?

    I fully expect my next pair will be the HD560S, my research has nothing but good things to say. But take Doodski's advice, EQ them.
