Just got this DAC and began streaming music to it via my Mac's bluetooth. This is my first experience with streaming via a bluetooth connection. I was surprised to notice that the volume is much lower than when streaming via USB. (I need to turn the volume up much higher on the DAC as well...

Seems like all the white cable I can find has printing along it. I need to run the cable along a white wall and would prefer to find something without printing.

Title says it all. Looking for a cheap <$50 DAC to drive an integrated amplifier. The plan is to stream music from a computer or phone via bluetooth. The message I've heard repeatedly here is that DAC's at this price point can offer great performance. My searches haven't come up with...

Hi. I'm currently using a Fiio E10 as a DAC as my sole source to my power amp. I stream music from my Chromebook or Mac via USB to the DAC. I would like to cut the cord and use bluetooth instead of the USB. It would also be extremely convenient to have a remote where I could control volume...

I stream music from my Mac and from my Chromebook to my audio system. Currently this requires a wired USB connection between the computer and a Fiio DAC. I'd like to eliminate the need for the USB cable by transmitting streamed music via the computer's built-in bluetooth transmitter to a...

The Topping E30 DAC was received with great enthusiasm on this forum. I've read that the choice of DAC often does not noticeably affect sound quality. I wonder if that would be true even for the old Fiio E10K DAC (using the line out to access the DAC output) I have been using. Would these two...

I recently purchased a pair of Triangle Borea BR03 speakers and have had them on old 28" stands. This put my ear level with the bottom of the woofer. I like the speakers. I've read that these stands are too tall. So, I bought a pair of 24" stands (which puts the very top of the woofer at ear...

Just bought a pair of monoprice monolinth stands for my Triangle Borea BR03 speakers. The stands are heavy and well-built. Am I likely to get noticeably improved sound quality if I fill the stands? If so, I think sand would be too messy. If heard about people using steel shot or aquarium gravel...

This amp is rated at 80W for 4 ohms. Given the steep discount for the Elacs, I'm tempted to compare these with my Triangle Borea BR03's. I live in an apartment, so I don't listen to loud music. While I recognize that many here would discourage this pairing since I won't be able to take full...

I've read the suggestion to place bookshelf speakers on stands such that the tweeters are at the same height as the listener's ears. By this guideline, my stands are too tall by around 5", and my ears are at the height of the woofers. If I replace these stands with a shorter pair, will I...

I've tried three amps with these speakers: Cambridge Audio AXA35 was just dull. Emotiva A-100 seemed to have a v-shaped signature that left vocals recessed. There was great detail at the low and high ends. NAD 316BEE V2 was the opposite of the Emotiva--vocals were emphasized at the expense of...

I'm considering some integrated amplifiers (NAD 316bee v2, Emotiva TA-100, Cambridge Audio AXA 35) as part of a new system. The only source I will likely ever use is a DAC. I would listen through speakers or possibly through headphones. So, while tone controls are nice and a headphone jack...

I'm considering some integrated amplifiers (NAD 316bee vw, Emotiva TA-100, Cambridge Audio AXA 35) and speakers (Q Acoustics 3030i, Triangle Borea BR03, Elac DBR 62). The most likely use-scenario is that of driving the amp with a DAC. Currently, I have a fiio e10k, which was pretty...

I'm interested in putting together a quality audio system for around $1000 (USD). I live in an apartment, and the system would be in my 13X13 ft living room with 10 ft ceilings (about 1700 cu ft). The speakers would need to be on either side of an 8 ft sliding glass door and within a foot or so...
