    Streamer for Genelec 8240A

    Hello everyone, I have a pair of Genelec 8240A's and I was "driving" them via Focusrite 2i2 (2nd gen) + custom XLR Klotz cables. This was ages ago, now I want to play PC sound and stream from my Android phone (YT Music). From what I read here, I should stay digital only, something like WiiM Pro...

    Interface to DX3 Pro+?

    I have a Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th gen. It's clean and has a fair amount of power but I want smoother mids to highs, wider soundstage and more full bass. I was thinking of connecting an amp to output 3-4 on my Scarlett. Any DX3 Pro+ users with a similar setup? Do I simply get 1/4 to coax...

    Audio interface that works with M1 Mac sleep

    I have M1 Max and Focusrite 2i2 2nd gen. After waking up from sleep, the interface will not turn on most of the time and needs to be reconnected. I've been using a USB hub (not powered btw) to work this around. It's a notorious problem, but I hoped that it's just because the 2i2 is pretty old...

    Which balanced cable do I need to connect a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 to a pair of KRK Rokit RP5 G4?

    The interface has two 1/4 inch output lines, one for each speaker and the KRKs have one XLR female and 1/4 inch combined input each one. Would this be good? It's a XLR Male to 1/4 inch TRS balanced cable...

    What stage of the signal do I connect my Focusrite 4i4?

    I have a Focusrite 4i4 3rd gen and I'm planning to purchase a topping A30pro/D30pro stack. I was wondering where my 4i4 connects. My initial thoughts is this PC (usb) -> D30pro (bal L.O.) -> 4i4 (bal L.O.) -> A30pro. This was the most sound plan I could think of but my concern is between the...

    Focusrite Clarett 2Pre USB - Tear down, bit of internal analysis and few in-house measurements

    While waiting for my Motu M4 interface to arrive from Thomann, I was puzzled by a change in the estimated time delivery for the new orders on this product. As my ETA was estimated initially to about 5 weeks, when I saw that for the new orders the ETA changed to 12-17 weeks, I thought that my...

    Up until recently I was using the Digilent Analog Discovery 2 to perform audio measurements on my DIY audio projects - with 14-bits of resolution, it's a surprisingly powerful and cost effective little device. And while still an exceptional and blisteringly fast scope - I honestly can't see...
