My current setup takes all its different inputs into a MiniDSP 2x4HD which acts as my DAC, and the output is connected directly into the power amplifier (main in) of my NAD C352 (80W per channel). Volume is controlled on the DSP. Currently, to get output volume at 0dB on the DSP that's not too...

I have purchased an ARCHEL2 Pro headphone Amp. The first couple of days, everything is fine. When I listen to music today, there are very loud high pitch single-frequency sounds suddenly played in my headphone. No matter I unplug the input cable, switch the mode between high&low gain, change the...

Hello everyone. My budget is around $2500 and I need to buy a pair of studio monitors and audio interface for it. The problem is, that I don't need any mic/instrument inputs and ofcourse any input preamps too. So I decided to buy only monitors + Amp + DAC. I searched a bit, and my favorite is...

Hi all, my SMSL M500 went down, fortunately amazon will reimburse everything back. I've started to look at my new AMP + DAC combo. I wrote down these combos below with my region prices. All of those seem to be best of the best in terms of measurements. Though, possibly some of personal...

Since then I have moved on and purchased a Drop THX 789 with a Drop Grace SDAC that I did not care for. Right...

Hi, I have another question about DX3 Pro V2. From a few posts i've seen that the V2 has bigger outpout impedance that changes some IEMs sound. That doens't bother me that much beacuse i dont really use IEMs. What bothers me is that the Amp in the V2 should be much worse than the one in V1. I am...
