dac amp

Good afternoon. I don't know where to start. In general, I really like good sound. But I don't know what it is. Once, as a child, I listened to Koss UR-40 and some kind of player. It was very nice, clean and crystal clear. Many years have passed since then and I don't know how to feel it again...

Hello fellow ASR members, I recently bought an Ovidus B1. Waiting for it to arrive... Its primary purpose will be car audio. I set the volume on the HiBy FC1 to maximum, so volume on the stereo itself doesn't need to be turned up more. Its secondary purpose will be to drive low impedance/high...

Hi! I need a lot of help and advice. I have the Hifiman Ananda Stealth v3 (the latest ones), and I'm really torn between two DAC amps. The two options: 1) SMSL C200 2) Fiio K7 I'd use the headphones mainly for single-player and competitive gaming. Which option do you think I should choose and...

I'm excited about this CD player, DAC, headphones amp. Anyone ordered one ? I intend to use it with 7Hz Crinacle Zero2 and my Sabaj A10h for Sennheiser HD660.

When the DAC's line-out is connected to the headphone amplifier, it's signal attenuated by the volume control and raised or lowered by the gain. Thus, using the headphone amplifier can reduce the noise in the signal going to the headphones compared to using the headphone output of the DAC. This...

Hi, As a result of cancer treatment I suffer from hearing loss of different frequencies to various degrees in both ears (up to 50db). Consequently, music and audio sound abnormal and lifeless I desperately wish to listen and to enjoy audio again I am hoping someone can recommend a way to do...

Hi everyone. I'm using the Topping DX3 Pro+ for professional work but I also work on the go quite often, so I bought Fiio K3 Dac Amp. I noticed a significant difference in sound between them, so I though to ask for a recommendation for a budget friendly compact Dac Amp.

The title is quite self explanatory. I don't know much about audio and my knowledge about DAC/AMPs is quite small and recent, and I was wondering what DAC/AMP combo I should buy. I'm currently stuck between 4. SMSL C200 Qudelix 5K Schiit HEL2 Sound Blaster G6. If you have any other...

Don't want to pay mojo prices but is this really the only (decent) battery powered dac/amp that will take optical input? For reference, I want to use a WIIM mini plus the mystery device as a set up at my office desk /home desk without the need for a power plug (I can run the wiim off a spare...

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...
