amp

Hello, I am new here, Sorry for bothering you I need opinions about AMPs. I was wondering if you guys can help me choose a budget AMP for my headphones https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/momentum-headphones-in-ear and also Audio Technica ATH-M40x. After a lot of reading, I bought the HIFIMEDIY...

Source audio is from USB, playing Tidal Hi-Fi/Master tracks. Stuck between the Topping D30, Modi 3, and Khadas toneboard. I did read read the reviews by @amirm but I don't feel I was smart enough to really compare cause I wasn't able to really come to a conclusion ;') (lots of graphs and what...

I finally got my THX AAA 789 from massdrop. I decided to record my experience down before I forget. The THX amp came in a hard cardboard box, with very well packaged hard foam inside to hold the amp. After setting the amp up, the first thing I noticed is that the DC power plug (the connector...

So I just got the massdrop thx 789 amp which I am plan to connect to the SMSL SU-8 DAC for a balanced connection. However I am completely lost at how to connect it. So do I have to use a dual XLR female to dual RCA cable to connect it? By plugging the dual XLR female to the SMSL SU-8 then the...

Hey guys, Im in Hong Kong right now and am looking for a dac amp system to power my he-400is, m50xs, kinera iduns and ath-ls200s. I was looking at the fx audio x6 but was turned away by it's poor measurements. So now i am trying to find a dac amp. The topping d10 seems like a good option but...

What are the pros and cons of using a single dac versus a balanced design. Considering it is feeding into balanced topology to a balanced headphone with my benchmark hpa4... It's the only thing in my chain that is not balanced. Is this fine? I considered implementation to be more important. But...

Hi guys, Does anyone have any experience with this DAC/amp ? https://www.klipsch.com/products/heritage-headphone-amplifier#product-specs Balanced XLR-4 525mW into 16Ω 1440mW into 32Ω 1050mW into 150Ω 540mW into 300Ω 270mW into 600Ω Unbalanced 1/4” 810mW into 16Ω 940mW into 32Ω 270mW into 150Ω...

Hello everyone, I have this simple yet technical question: is there a fundamental difference between amp's tone control versus a software equalizer? I do not own an amp, but while searching for information I found that some amps have these knobs where you can control base/mid/treble and even...

Hello, I currently own a DT 990 250 ohm version, but had a chance to listen to DT 1990 and HD 800(S) recently (among many others), and I really liked them. I was able to use HDV 820 amp at that time, and I noticed that the bass became more vivid even at a very low volume, as if the distance...

I'm been looking for a nice amp to pair with my rme adi 2 dac. Is the aune x7s good enough? The only restriction is I want something not too big. It has to be a little wider than the rme. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Like the title says, I'm trying to replace my Schiit jotunheim with topping d50 + a new amp. When I turn it to RCA and touch the volume knob I hear noise. I believe I have one of those ******... I mean Schiit jotunheims that have an ungrounded chassis. I need to send it in. I won't have a system...

I see a lot of people favoring the Topping DX7/s but nobody talks about the Matrix Mini-i Pro 2 and the Matrix Mini-i Pro 2S. Just in case people don't know it, it's in the same price range (400-500 us$) but comes with IR remote, bluetooth APTX input, it has balanced XLR outputs, comes with a...

Kemper profiling amplifier is one of the greatest newer technologies to exist in the realm of a multitude of amplifiers for sound reproduction. If you are looking at this item, you already know it’s capabilities and power. Unit is in EXCELLENT condition and never left it’s flight case rack...

Hi everyone, After lurking for a week or so I decided to pull the trigger. Brief introduction: I've been looking for a DAC+Amp combo for the last year or so, but the horribly confusing mess of subjective advice ("Dragonfly Red is the bestest thing around" "nope the DF Red sucks and it's...
