Hello there. I just picked up used ananda nanos for 200€. They do sound great, but not what i would epect from 200€ headphones to sound like after purchasing my letshuoer s12 iems for 100€ last year. I use my s12 plugged directly to phone and the nanos stationary on the desktop via cx 31993 dac...

I have a RME Fireface UFX ii (which has a high & low power mode for the headphone amp)...and I just purchased a set of Hifiman Arya Organics. Is the RME sufficient in powering the Arya Organics for accurate reproduction? I will be mixing albums on this setup. Thanks!

I'm looking to replace my amplifier that is responsible for the bass driver (8 Ohm) in my speakers. I'm trying to find a used pair due to costs. I'm looking at either Hypex NC2K or Powersoft DigiMod 3004PFC2. The later because I can currently find it ready built for sale used; there are no used...

Hello! For some time I've wanted to try an external DAC but I currently have a WiiM Amp Ultra, where I can't use any external DAC. I also have a WiiM Ultra in the closet and I'm thinking to myself if it wouldn't be worth using it instead of Amp Ultra and buying a DAC R2R + pure power amp (V3...

Hello guys, I am a complete noob when it comes to audio. All these years I've been using gaming headsets and recently I decided to give iems a try. I decided to go with the KZ Gale since it is cheap and I have heard good things about it. Currently I have it connected directly to the front jack...

I'm wondering which budget amplifier has a HPF. I only found 2 so far : - Douk A5 - O-Noorus D1 Pro (Not sure it's fully released though) - SMSL A50 Pro If there's amplifiers with integrated DAC it could be added to the list too

Hi everyone, As the title suggests, I recently came across several YouTube videos discussing this audio paradigm. I’ve just purchased the Meze Empyrean II headphones along with the JDS Labs DAC/amp, and the combination is fantastic. I followed recommendations from this forum to make my...

Hi! I need a lot of help and advice. I have the Hifiman Ananda Stealth v3 (the latest ones), and I'm really torn between two DAC amps. The two options: 1) SMSL C200 2) Fiio K7 I'd use the headphones mainly for single-player and competitive gaming. Which option do you think I should choose and...

Hello, I disassembled HCD-RG295, its an audio system with CD, Decks, radio, and amplifier, and I want to take amplifier from it and make it work with aux, but I am not very much knowledgeable of what to do to make it work. I would be happy if it had like aux, volume control, and that's all. I...

Hey, I know a lot of posts on here are on the topic of "review my first build plan, let me know what to change" but I think my situation is just unique enough and my mom has told me I'm special enough times that I want to post my own thread. Budget/background - I've done car audio for a few...

i have mcintosh MC7106. Should i sell it and get a new emotiva or monolith or arcam power amp or should i keep it? Please help me decide. Thank you all for your valuable inputs.

I recently replaced my decade-old sound system with the Klipsch RP line. Since my wallet was already open, I decided to fulfill an old dream and buy an Emotiva's XPA-3. Hastily, I bought it, imported it into my country, Iceland, and now two weeks later, I'm thinking: Is the XPA-3 an overkill for...

A bit of a niche question as I can't seem to find any information about this phenomenon anywhere. I have a Rotel RA 1070 that I picked up used connected to a pair of Kef R3 meta, no complaints with the sound the pair produce it sounds frankly excellent to my ears. However, the amp seems to...

I just received my Wiim amp Pro and after hooking everything up I unfortunately noticed three problems. 1. a very annoying buzzing sound when the HDMI cable is plugged in 2. If the HDMI is connected to my TV (Which I also use as a 3rd monitor in this setup) I suddenly have a gigantic input lag...

this will be used in a bar, and high fidelity is not necessary, but the output power needs to be high. I will use it to drive 10 JBL Control X speakers, placed in various corners of a 60 square meter space. Perhaps it needs to be divided into two units? For the subwoofer, I initially plan to use...

I have unbalanced hearing and am using the Qudelix 5k to EQ audio to my Hifiman and possibly other headphones to balance the left/right frequencies independently. I measured that the Qudelix has around 40ms latency in USB mode. Since I play the digital piano, I'm now looking for a setup that'll...
