    Topping E30 II Lite. What, no L-R balance control?

    So I decided to try an external DAC to add to my stereo equipment collection. My first impression of the Topping device is that it's louder, which should help with signal to noise ratio. Is it better? I'm not sure. I'll do some A-B comparisons to the Mac's internal DAC when I'm feeling a little...

    Kali IN 5 v2 - noise, humming, hiss etc.

    Hi! I recently bought the Kali IN5 v2 monitors and, to be honest, they’re fantastic. The problem is, I can’t really get them to perform at their best. Let me start from the beginning. The speakers are set up next to my PC (on stands), connected via RCA (I know, I know – mortal sin) to a Fiio...

    DAC up to $168

    Hey, could someone give me some advice on choosing a DAC? I'm considering either the K11 or the SMSL DS100, but I can't seem to get my head around which is better. Alternatively, if anyone has a tip for something better, this was recommended to me. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Do you ultimately only ever hear the DAC filter?

    How is it possible to judge songs objectively if the native band-limiting characteristics of a song are ultimately overwritten by the DAC filter?

    How would you rate this halfband filter?

    I would use for resampling 44.1 -> 96, 48 -> 96, 96 -> 96 Do you think it is superior to most DAC filters? Do I have to worry about interference? The DAC chip on my Genelec The Ones is AK4621EF.However, I don't know which filter is used internally. Possibly a low...

    Popping audio from multiple sources

    Recently I've been hearing popping/clicking noises from music and other audio. I at first thought it was an issue with my headphones, so I tried others, but it stayed the same. I thought the issue was my DAC so I used my phone, same issue. I thought it might be a coincidental issue with multiple...

    Need a next level audio nerd to explain something
