I don't like streamers at all because of the sluggish response/ reliability/ drop out/ EMF/ ongoing cost issues, amongst others. At the moment I am using a Cayan N6 with dual 4497 DACs, and running with a flash card micro SD plugged in with all my music loaded on it in folders. Using UApp with...

Hello, This is my first post here and I am a newbie in audio science, so I would like to apologize in advance if I use any incorrect expressions or phrasing. My very old audio system recently broke down, but the 4-Ohm passive speakers are still functioning well, and I'd like to keep them for...

Hey y'all. I am looking for people's favorite class D amp that has both bluetooth and optical inputs. I have seen the Aiyima T9/T9 Pro, Aiyima D03/D05, Fosi Audio DA2120C, I think SMSL has some too, etc. Are there any that people prefer over others? Really trying to stay under $150ish, maaaybe...

Hi, First review here, so don't hesitate to tell me if you see something odd. I just bought an Antelope Amari for mastering work and Antelope's specs were not precise enough to my taste. Since the APX555 was just there I did some measurements. I tried to be consistent with most measurements I've...

Hi everyone, I'm new guy here and i have a question in regard to DAC converters with Bluetooth. Are there some cheap options ( up to £150 ) that can have bluetooth function disabled if required and have usb c for example, used instead to connect to smartphone or laptop for music streaming? I...

Hello All! I've been lurking and reading reviews for a while but as of today I am a new member. I have been reading a number of well reviewed DAC's in the past few months here but all the ones I have seen only have 1 coax, optical and USB. I am hoping for some recommendations regarding a...

In the coming months, I want to invest in a DAP. However, I see that there are few DAPs with a well-implemented DAC, according to what I have seen in reviews (taking into account SINAD). I understand that there are other priorities when making a DAP, but for me, I want a DAP with a good DAC so...

Hello! Looking for advice of whether an amp and/or DAC are really needed. Currently running with headphone pairs ATH-M50x for EDM/Dubstep/etc., ATH-AD700x or less bassy music and gaming. Likely to step up to Massdrop 58x and/or 6xx in the near future, though still scoping out what. Headphones...

I have been thinking about making changes to my stereo setup. I have been interested in getting a miniDSP Studio (the digital-only one) and to try an R2R DAC since I have never tried that kind of sound before. Anyway, when researching about R2R DACs, I got to Denafrips offerings (Ares II...

Hi, I'm looking for Streamer + DAC combo to add it to my setup. (it can be one device) I currently have: - old CEC AMP3 (from 1993, got it as a gift, it has both unbalanced and balanced inputs) - old LUA 5/3 D DIVA (also gift) - Epiphany USB EDAC (aka. NwAvGuy ODAC, I was using it with PC...

Hello, I’d say I’m somewhat of a noob here. I have an Audiophonics lpa-s400et power amp and kef q950 towers. I would like to build a system using at minimum two subwoofers with MSO, Dirac, REW, or some other software I currently know nothing about to correct for room modes in my 25’x11’x7.25’...

Good evening, i'm currently building a new PC and decided that since i listen to a lot of music i want actual quality audio, so i decided on a Mainboard with Toslink out. Now i'm still looking for a DAC and headphones, might get the Sennheiser HD560s or one of the DT 9XX Pro line. But right now...

I usually listen to my CDs and music files (FLAC and DSD) on the Sony BDP-S6500 Blu-ray Player, connected via HDMI to the Pioneer VSX-534 Receiver, and I'm considering replacing the Blu-ray player with a Marantz CD6007 CD Player to perform the same functions (play CDs and music files (FLAC and...

Hi guys, I've been using the DCA expanse for awhile, currently the chain is Matrix x-sabre pro mqa->AHB2->zynsonix_headphone_switch. Fully balanced. It's clean and clear for sure, but it's alot to live with in my cubicle (now full time on site) I'm hoping if there is an all in one...

Hope I didn't make a mistake to open a new thread. I have plan to buy Teac DAC for my integrated amplifier which is Accuphase E-280. But also I can add internal DAC card to it. Which one do you recommend? Both are about the same price. Generally in higher class which one is prior internal or...
