Hi everyone! I need your help with selecting proper audio equipment. I can buy used DX7s for $265. Is it worth buying them now? I currently use Aune X1s 10th and need balanced outputs for active monitors (Kali Audio LP-6 v2) and a collection of headphones and IEMs. I'm also struggling between...

Hi, I have the ER4SR and I know that to move them to at least 80db SPL they require 0.05Vrms/0.06mW, which is not little due to the insertion they have, so what can be the best DAC (talking about signal processing) for these IEMS? Preferably IOS compatible

So... as you know Topping la90 came out and in my brain born new question why expensive amplifiers are expensive? For what people are paying so much???Why should I buy mark levinson digital amp for 200000 czk instead of topping combo for about 30000 czk?

Hi, new to ASR and appreciate the plethora of sound system information! I'm setting up a desktop sound system for my office and, after exploring different options, landed on testing out the Loxjie A30 all-in-one (headphone quality an issue, I know, but is passable) and the SMSL DA9. Since I...

I just saw that Yulong just released an upgrade to the DA10 called the DA11, now with ES9038pro instead of an AK4497, and 5 watts of power at 32 ohms instead of 3. It has a 3.5mm single-ended headphone output and both 4.4 pentaconn and XLR “fully balanced” options. They’re purporting a SNR of...

I listen to a lot of music. Last year decided to splurge and purchased a Hegel h190 & ATC SCM 40. I am really enjoying the system. Lately, I have been thinking of maybe upgrading my system by adding an external DAC. I don't know how Hegel's internal DAC compares with the DACs out there. In...

Hi, I'm currently using a Denon AVR X4400 - but trying to improve a bit on the stereo part. I looking into a boXem nCore stereo amp - but these only have one XLR input (which could be used hopefully also with the pre-out of the AVR. I like to use the AVR mainly for home cinema. Currently the...

For some context I am a bass head. With my new Fostex T20RP headphones I listen to (bass heavy) hiphop music and at times watch movies/play games on my PC. The DAC/Amp stack I have thought to drive these headphones is as follows: DAC: Behringer UMC22 AMP: Either Xudoo mt-602 (tube) or Douk...

Picked up an ifi Hip Dac 2 recently, with the intention of using it in combination with my iPhone 8 for Apple Music. Acquired the recommended Apple Original camera adapter (lightening to USB A) to feed that sweet digital audio into my hip dac 2. I’m experiencing an issue of my iPhone not...

This little toy was just released last month, and I pulled the trigger, $149, it claims to have an output power of 270mW@32ohm from its 4.4mm balanced output. My main reason to get it: It has a a 4.4 mm output which is uncommon in small dongles, and many on my headphones are 4.4 mm, but also it...

The Chord Mojo 2 looks set for release tomorrow. Looks to be a general upgrade to the original, with some feedback from users being taking into consideration. Nothing particularly unexpected. The thing that peaked my interest though (and thought may be of interest to others here), is it has...

Just a quick question about Bluetooth on iOS: If I play lossy music with Spotify or Apple music and use a bluetooth DAC AMP, which on iOS only supports the AAC codec, will I get the same signal as with a wired connection? Lossy music on Apple Music is AAC 256 kbit/s and the AAC bluetooth codec...
