This issue has been touched upon but not precisely, when BOTH XLR and RCA outputs are being used simultaneously…. Setup: XLR out (via converter) to RCA monoblocks, short run, AND RCA out to dual subs with independent gain and crossover control. Audible, unmeasured findings seem that once the...

I’m a newbie, to digital, I admit it. I’m confused on digital to digital output and if DA conversion occurs once, twice. I’d like to stream (have a Pro + w the DAC), to my R26 R2R (which I feed to a Levinson preamp via XLR). If I’m running Wiim via say Optical (24/192 vis WiFi), into Gustard...

Changelog: Fixed the noise issue under some Linux based sources. Compatibility optimized. Sound quality reviewed. Reliability improved. Looking forward to getting your feedback.

The long wait is finally over. New Gustard X16 DAC and Topping A90 headphone amp arrived today from ShenzhenAudio in China. Glad to know that the balanced headphone cable from Audiophile Ninja works (had no easy way of testing it before now). So far so good. Not much to say that hasn't...

I am in the very spot of upgrading my DAC from Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus, I have narrowed down to these two units, I wonder if I don't care for DSD or MQA, does it make sense to get either of them? Would I be better off with something like a Schiit Modius? Would the DAC-X16 or SU-9 sound...
