    He6se V2 Best General Setups

    So here I am 6 months after I bought the He6se V2. I decided to connect it to a Topping A 30 Pro and Topping D10B and my PC. Honestly the Topping can push it quite good.

    Octavio AMP

    Hello, I'm curious about this product. There are no reviews. Octavio is like a French copycat of Bluesound. They made a first splash with their Octavio Stream (200€), a streaming DAC with only one AUX input and no digital outputs. Octavio uses Octavio Virtuose for streaming. It looks...
