    I have the matrix audio x-spdif 3 digital to digital converter which has an AES/EBU output My ADAM S2V studio monitors accept an AES3 input but I since the DDC only has one AES output, how am I supposed to feed that into the speakers? My guess is I need two AES cables, one to go from the DDC...

    Controlling output volume via Bluetooth?

    So I have a pair of active PA speakers and a Bluetooth receiver with a DAC built in (XDUOO XQ-50 PRO2) and was wondering if it would be a good idea to use my phone's volume control to adjust the output volume of the speakers when I have people over and want to put on some music instead of having...

    Hardware digital tone control?

    Does anyone know of a physical product that is placed between the source and the DAC with knobs to change the audio tone in the digital domain?

My question is whether or...

    Recommendations for USB noise filtering product

    I'm having issues connecting my USB dac to my computer as I get random hissing and popping noises due to noise from my motherboard's USB. I'm currently using a TOSLINK cable to connect to my DAC and the issue seems to have disappeared but I'd rather use USB as I can play higher bitrate and...
