dac

Our company purchased several of these 16 channel DACs to expand the capabilities&flexibility of IEM racks I build and tour with. They're fairly inexpensive at ~333€ a piece (20€ per output channel!). The DAC was fed via Ultranet from my X32 which was connected to the PC via USB (48KHz). The DAC...

Hi ! I decided to re-purpose my home office as a listening room and bring a bit of calm in the living room (my wife will be more than happy for it... and me away hahaha) So, for now, I have a stereo system fed by a FiiO k7 that is also used as a headphone amp for my planar magnetic. It's a...

This is my first post / thread in this forum. I have been reading extensively many sections of this wonderful website and i am glad to be part of the community now. I am interested in finding an affordable solution for a DAC or independent DAP that is capable of outputting multichannel audio...

I currently own NODE (Gen 3) and I'm interested in CX100 only for its display (to see the cover arts). I'm wondering if moving from NODE (optical output) to CX100 (or any other streamer such as Eversolo] while using external DAC (RME ADI) would result in any change in sound quality and in what...

Problem: When computer off, very quiet white noise from speakers. When computer on, nasty electrical noise when idle. When computer doing heavy work (CPU or GPU, probably power draw related), absolutely awful squealing. This has been a pain for years, and finally remembered to try out using a...

It's my birthday and I'm ready to spend some money on silly things! Case in question: Abacus Aroio DAC-HAT which allows to feed the analog and digital sections separately with 5V. Currently the DAC-HAT is receiving power from the Raspberry 3. See "documentation" here (PDF!). Very happy with...

Hello, I’m trying to figure out a path forward from my current setup and could use some advice. Currently I run Focal Elegias with Dekoni fenestrated pads powered by a Monolith 124459 (THX ASA 788). I EQ with Oratory’s recommended EQ via Peace, with some little tweaks for a bit more bass...

I want to buy Denafrips DAC but I can't find it on any platform like ebay, amazon, etc. There is only one website showing that claims to be the official store. Is this website reliable? Please help me.

Hi all, I’m surprised I can’t find any dedicated DACs with direct input select via ir remote control. Instead, they all come with a toggle that cycles through all inputs. Only products that I’ve found that do have this direct input select feature are multifunction DACs miniDSP Flex and SHD...

I have a lot of audio equipment for sale on my eBay store, and offering them direct with: 10 percent off listed price and free shipping on single or combined orders over $100. I'll pay the 3 percent PayPal fee for buyer & seller protection. Will ship only to PayPal verified U.S. addresses. eBay...

So I was looking for a sub to pair with my Adam T5Vs, discovered that the matching T10S sub has a horrible standby mode, so I was recommended the JBL LSR310S instead. I'm considering it, but my DAC is a SMSL SU-1, which doesn't have balanced inputs to support the JBL sub. Perhaps it's time to...

Hi everyone ‍:) This is my first post here. Yes I did my research In short, I'd like to know which dac/amp to choose for home and transportable use. "Oh nooo not another one like that". Boring and repetitive, isn't it? Maybe my longer version of the question will be more engaging. Also, I would...

I have a USB audio interface, a beloved EMU0404 USB. It's a bit dated, and the specs are not exactly top of the line, compared to today's best, but it's acceptable, and should save me having to shell out more money, in the short term, for the latest greatest USB DAC. I've been following Julian...

I recently ordered a pair of kh120ii and the MA1 microphone to start with. They haven't arrived yet but I think it is time to pick a DAC for them to work. I do have a budget for a smsl SUX or D2R and i've heard nice words about them. But after browsing through a few other cheaper options like...

Hi guys. Can someone explain to how this works, as I am confused. I have an external DAC (ADI DAC 2 FS) connected to my Integrated Amp (Rotel A11 Tribute). The DAC plays in most cases from my PC (Roon). To my understanding, the DAC's purpose is to convert Digital to Analog. But since the DAC...

Having spent some time going through the reviews and test measurement for various DACs, I finally chose the SMSL C200. My requirements are balanced TRS line outs to drive my Kali LP6 2nd Wave and at least one headphone output (Sennheiser HD 560S) . The DAC is connected to my PC. The C200...

Dear colleagues, Since my search for a dedicated recommendations thread was unsuccessful, I'm hoping here is a good place. If I missed something, please excuse me. I am using a pair of active Neumann KH120 speakers with my TV and for now I have them connected with a random DAC from Amazon. I'm...

I have tried Topping DX3 Pro+ but encountered non stop audio dropout/stuttering/jittering every 5-10 seconds. I have contacted the manufacturer and updated the firmware but still encounter the same issue. I heard that SMSL C200 and DL200 would be perfect for my needs as they have the feature to...

Hello everything is fine? I'm looking for suggestions for ADC components for use in 3-way studio monitors. I look for ADCs that excel in specific frequency ranges, aiming to ensure the best sound quality in each range. 1. For BASS, I need a carefully selected component that is capable of...
