    The kit we bought, our current setups

    I dig it! Nice all around system - music, movies and gaming. Are you using your tv to extract optical from your xBox? And to what address may I send your IRS audit notice? Lol

    A manual truck! These days, that's a true unicorn and the best theft deterrent. My shit-kicker is a 2010 Chevy Avalanche. I bought it for a long time girlfriend who is now out of the picture. Early last year it was stolen by a career criminal and used for jacking cats. When I picked it up...

    In September of 2021 she was taken by flatbed for a complete overhaul. My 2004 E46 M3 was finally returned to me in immaculate condition just three weeks ago. Gasoline forever.

    TOPPING PA7

    How Topping handled their PA5 fiasco was a huge disappointment. I refuse to reward bad behavior.

    TOPPING PA7

    I hesitated to jump on the PA5 train and glad I did. Not even tempted this round.

    Master "deals" (massdrop, ebay, Amazon, etc.) Thread on Audio Product Sales

    I confess I haven't used the mic at all, so I am unable to opine on its quality. I use them with an LG V30 (dedicated DAP) that I bought used at the Bezos Corner Store - for less than two bills, I've got a fantastic iPod replacement ($60 headphones and $99 LG V30). They are pretty comfortable...

    MOTU UltraLite Mk5, New Audio Interface Generation With New Drivers, USB-C & More

    Do you currently own a mark five? I apologize if I missed that in the thread. The reason I ask, is your question may get a little more juice if you submit it as a registered owner as opposed to being a general inquiry submitted by email or a public webpage intake form.

    What the current Aiyima A07 actually needs.

    A lot of work and exacting work at that... I like the idea, but for such an inexpensive amp that's never overheated on me at 50V seems excessive. Mind you, I keep my place at 71 degrees

    Thoughts on SMSL D-6 DAC?

    I picked up a D-6 (Amazon) for my son and am returning it as the optical in connection is touch and go. And Amir's observation: "I found the navigation of settings or even changing inputs to be somewhat confusing." Spot on. Can't stand it. Otherwise, I loved it. Going to MOTU.

    Media player for Mac

    I am running JRiver Media Center 27 on a 2015 MacBook Air. It has a ton of features with the major let down being the supporting "instructions". Rather than having a comprehensive operators manual, JRiver relies upon customer supported forums for FAQs and troubleshooting. IMHO it's...

    Xbox Series X support for external DACs

    He says that it's opened up the audio soundstage to magnificent proportions and that multiple veils have been lifted. Bass is punchy, tight and deep, whereas trebles are clear, yet lack any suggestion of brightness. We ordered some cable lifters and an AC power cleanser to really bring out the...

    Xbox Series X support for external DACs

    He uses the xBox party chat frequently. He has a wired Razer headset that is fed by his xBox wireless controller via the 3.5 audio out. When the headset is plugged into the controller, he hears the party chat exclusively through the headset, whereas the game audio plays via the external...

    Xbox Series X support for external DACs

    Well the preliminary run using the $40 OREI 8K HDMI 2.1 Switcher was a success. By preliminary, I mean that it has successfully peeled off the audio from the HDMI and fed it to the DAC via the optical input. Video looks good, audio sounds good. My kid is super pleased. He doesn't notice any...

    Xbox Series X support for external DACs

    My son is an avid xBox player and was wanting to connect some external speakers. For Christmas I hooked him up with a pair of JBL 308P MkII powered monitors, an SMSL D-6 DAC and an OREI 8K HDMI 2.1 Switcher ($40 at the Bezos Corner Store) which has an optical out. The reason for including the...
