    Looking for a DAC - NuForce upgrade or USB Dongle DAC recommendation

    Hi, friend has recommended me this forum so I'm quite new here, said you guys look at graphs besides opinions. So I decided to make a thread here instead of other forums. Right now I'm on TIDAL. I also use an old Technics compact disc player SL-P111 to play my CDs with Burr-Brown 16 bit DAC- so...

    Lack of Audioengine N22 reviews/discussions

    I've been looking at small amplifiers for nearfield listening at my desktop. The majority of what I see recommended is cheap Chi-fi class D amps, some of which measure really well here on ASR. Something like the Aiyima A07 sounds perfect for me, on paper. However, I find the lack of quality...

    Popping issue - WiiM + Audioengine DAC

    Issue: Between tracks the DAC gives audible click and also a popping noise from speakers. Enough to ruin listening experience. Tried: Reverted back to using the AUX out and bypassing the DAC = works fine. Same issue if I use a different USB power source If I take the WiiM out the mix and use...

    Trying to decide on new near field monitors for casual(ish) listening

    I've read tons of reviews here (and elsewhere) and am struggling to choose an active powered near field monitor for casual (and sometimes critical-ish) listening. I have really good ears and am treble sensitive so anything with a ribbon tweeter is probably out. The speakers will go on a fairly...

    AudioEngine D1 measurement suggestion

    Hello, I have the AudioEngine D1 DAC and it's been working very well for 7 or 8 years, approximately. I'm going to buy the SMSL SU-9n and have always wondered how well the AudioEngine D1 compares to newer DACs. The DAC is still for sale on the AudioEngine website and I have, and perhaps to my...

    AudioEngine HD6 inbuilt DAC or the Topping D90 MQA or D50s? Currently own AudioEngine A5 and Topping D50s. Looking for a upgrade.

Mostly play my music from bluetooth since I have no PC. Is there anyway I can get top notch sound from bluetooth (iPhone) or should I buy a...

    This might be a silly question however will the DAC improve the overall audio of my PC?

    For example a song from youtube or an MP3 file etc OR is it only FLAC files? Does the D50S have specs that are good enough to pair with a high end system with an amplifier? Currently my speakers are the Audioengine A5+ which has an inbuilt amp. Thanks for the help! ☺️

    How can I play flac files on my windows computer using CCA and using my iPhone as a remote?

    Speakers:Audioengine A5+ DAC:Topping D50 or D50s Audio files: 24/196, 24/192 and DSD files. I'd like to use the DAC of my Topping device (which I haven't chosen yet) instead of the CC. I want to use the CC to stream lossless music, if possible! My source is my iPhone and Windows PC. Yes, I...
