Dear ASR experts, In past weeks I've spent hours reading about DACs on this great forum. I'm getting overwhelmed by all options, so perhaps one of you can help me with a recommendation. I play my FLAC collection from a Pi4 with DAC2 HD, connected (1 ft) to my Quad 303 amp which connects (10...

I have read a number of threads on this but still not quite sure I am thinking all this out properly in trying to see if I should get a Mac Mini, or something like a NVIDIA Shield TV Pro? The end result is the HIGHEST audio quality possible into my Bel Canto DAC 2.7, but have it look like things...

To set the scene... around 20 years ago I was listening to FLACs ripped from my own CD collection on a Logitech Squeezebox -> Musical Fidelity X-DACV3 -> Audio Alchemy DLC -> Cambridge Audio SA200 -> Mission 752. Our TV was also connected to the DLC so one could have TV/Movie sound on this...

Based on the review by AMIRM I ordered a Loxjie A30. It appeared that the digital input was a lot better than using the analog input though I may have misread it. I have a Chromecast Audio. I read somewhere on ASR that digital out on the CCA would convert the signal from analog back to digital...

Hello, I’m a new member and I just made a donation via PayPal to support a new favorite site. I’m not an ‘audiophile’, however, I have a fondness for vintage gear. After using an old iPad Mini on my Fisher X-202 for Spotify I discovered Spotify Connect which I now connect from my iPhone. I then...

I just became aware of this today, although it's been in development since January '20. While it is beta status software, it does work, and playback can still be controlled with the MusicBee Remote app. By the way, it will connect to a Chromecast Video dongle just fine and display the...

More on my continuing paring-down to essentials: I found last week that I could use an old Mac Mini as a "roon bridge" so that I could avoid the 16-bit limitation of AirPlay. So, the Mac Mini was the roon bridge between a different Mac Mini server located elsewhere and a MiniDSP 4x10 which...

Hello, I've been browsing around and it's really hard for me to understand what products are out there, and what can be done with DIY components. My scenario is the following: I have two 7" DynAudio BM5 MK3 active nearfield monitors that I'd like to connect using XLR connectors. I'd like to...

"As we exclusively reported earlier this week, Google is working on a product called the “Nest Mini,” which is a second-generation of the Google Home Mini. We’re told the product will feature better speakers, some proximity features, and a built-in wall mount, too. That’s all very cool, but...
