My brain is swimming searching for a good available desktop dac amp with a remote. Need a remote because it is not going on a desk. Most music listening is from an iphone 12 max, only occasionally from my Macbook.
I am using a pair of the Drop DCA Aeon Closed 2 cans. Budget is up to $700. Thanks!
I'm searching for DAC/Headphone AMP combo which would have:
1. Multiple source inputs - 3x digital inputs. (USB, TOS and COAX in)
2. 1x digital out to adapt to AES Active Monitors (Genelec)
3. Headphone AMP - Single-ended analog output.
4. Optional: Balance XLR out
The idea behind it is to...
I have a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-R70x (470 ohms) headphones and I'm looking for a good DAC / Amp combo. My budget is 700 - 800 USD. Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Hi,
Need some help. Pretty much a noob.
I recently got my DT990 pro 250ohms. I'm currently using it with my Behringer UMC404HD interface without a headphone amp. I'm noticing that the right driver is clipping (crackling?) at certain frequencies. It happens randomly so I'm not sure about the...
I recently got the E30 and was very pleased with it, so I decided to purchase the L30 as well. I was able to pair them up today and I noticed something very peculiar. When using the L30, the left channel sounds noticeably larger in volume. I tried switching to pre-amp mode and the volume...

Its my one anniversary with this legacy combo. I'll tell you my experiences with these two. For disclaimer I've owned the E30 a bit longer than the L30's, I'll start with newest to oldest. My amp is an old Sansui 2000A. Headphones is AKG 7XX.

So after almost a month of owning my Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro and trying to figure out which amp to go for, here is what I've narrowed it down to, and I don't wish to consider any other option but these two given my budget, availability where I live and all my past research.
Which of these do...
So I was working and listening to music on my PecanPi > Singxer SA-1 set-up all through the day. Somewhere after lunch, I had a problem with my mic and unplugged everything and continued this zoom/teams call I was in with the on-board I/O. Later through the day I kept thinking this Singxer SA-1...
Hello!
Last week the Mass Effect Legendary Edition came out and it turned my former non-gamer-girlfriend into a gamer-wife-to-be.
Well this is my second big coup after getting her interested in Italian-American movies and TV shows. Gabagool.
And before you ask: No she has no twin sister :P
So...
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 recently upgraded my computer audio setup to a Schiit Modi 3+ DAC (connected to my desktop via USB) and Schiit Magni Heresy headphone amplifier (both based on Amir's reviews) from my onboard audio components on my Gigabyte B450 Aorus M gaming motherboard. I'm currently using AKG K240 studio...
For whatever reason, Schiit keeps pushing back the ship by date on the Modius/Magnius stack that I ordered almost a month ago.
I don't want to wait another month.
What other fully balanced DAC/amp stacks are available for around $400?
I already have balanced interconnects for separates, and...
I am trying to find a DAC to suit my needs. I was about to purchase the DacMagic 200M for my birthday until I saw it had A LOT of problems.
I want a DAC that has:
- MQA decoding
- balanced XLR outputs (for powered speakers - Adam T7Vs)
- headphone amp (for my Sony MDR-7506)
- 32bit/768kHz PCM...
Hi,

Hi.
I'm thinking of buying the Focal Clear MG Pro Open-back headphones for mixing and producing music. I must clarify that I don't record acoustic instruments such as drums, guitars or voices. Most of the sounds I produce are with synthesizers, drum machines and samples. I produce experimental...
Hi. I want to buy a pair of expensive Headphones for music production and mixing. However, I won't be recording instruments such as guitars, vocals or acoustic drums. I produce electronic music and experimental rap so most of the stuff I compose is using samples, synths and drum machines ITB...
