dac & pre-amp compo

Hiya I'm looking for a solution to kill a problem that's been plaguing me for well over a decade. I have a pair of studio monitors (Yamaha HS5) and a simple headphone amp (Destiny Aristaios mk II - tube amplifier; basically a Yaqin PH-5L) and a huge issue with noise from my computer. Before...

Hi guys, I have a Nuprime dac-9 and Nuprime AMG STA. I use my tv as a streamer for Spotify. Now I want to add a streamer for lossless. I have no idea how good my dac is so I would love to hear advice. Should I go for a Wiim pro plus or add a streamer to my dac-9. Or any other options for...

Hello :) I have a question about this okto DAC - there is an option to buy streaming or non-streaming version. I could see only non-streaming version available so far... 1. Can I buy such a basic version and install my own RP4 without loosing garantiee? Or maybe its not possible - not sure...

Hi; I hope this post is in the right thread. I recently moved place and we have build in furniture which is not deep enough to hold my audio and video devices. I used to connect the TV and other devices to the AMP but now I have to look into a compact alternative to replace the AMP to be able...

Hi all, Hoping for some help. I’m trying to figure out a way to connect two sources to a Hypex NC252MP speaker amp that has only one XLR input and no volume control. The two sources are: a turntable with RCA outs (Drop + Audio-Technica VTA Carbon Turntable (I just pre-ordered it)) and an iPad...

I'm a new member of this forum, but I've been reading the posts here for a while. However, I haven't been able to find the right guidance, or perhaps I don't know where to look for what I might need. First, a little background about me. I am an older woman whose husband passed away several...

I'm searching for DAC/Headphone AMP combo which would have: 1. Multiple source inputs - 3x digital inputs. (USB, TOS and COAX in) 2. 1x digital out to adapt to AES Active Monitors (Genelec) 3. Headphone AMP - Single-ended analog output. 4. Optional: Balance XLR out The idea behind it is to...

Hello everyone! I would like to buy a pair of headphones and a dac/amp. I thought of buying a pair of DT990 Pros and a dac/amp but i read that they're not that good as i knew so i'm here asking for your advice. I would like to spend 300€ (maybe 30€-50 extra if it helps to get something much...

Hello there your advices would really be welcome .... please fell free to give your opinion, I'm currently using a DX1 from advance paris, it has like 6 optical inputs and 2 coaxial, it also works as a bridge since you find 1 optical out and 1 coaxial out. The sound is fine but ........ Well...

Its my one anniversary with this legacy combo. I'll tell you my experiences with these two. For disclaimer I've owned the E30 a bit longer than the L30's, I'll start with newest to oldest. My amp is an old Sansui 2000A. Headphones is AKG 7XX. Topping E30 (Serial 2003) : Pure glorious DAC. The...

Hi all, I've had an Electrocompaniet ECI-3, a Rotel RCD-991 and Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MKii speakers since 2000 and it's all worked pretty well for what I've listened to (mostly progressive house, rock and singer-songwriter). However, I've always found that perhaps the amp had a little too little...
