Hi, recently got me a pair of Audeze LCD-X, very happy with that. I previously ran a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-770 250 ohm, and ended up getting an Apogee Groove to be able to drive them well from my late 2019 Macbook Pro. Now, with the Audezes, the level is sufficient without the Apogee and I am...

I have some DCA Aeon 2 Noire's coming and I know they need some power to be driven properly. I will mostly be using them at work with a 2018 Macbook Pro, and at home with a 2021 Macbook Pro. I understand MBP's have reasonable built in DAC's, so I'm wondering whether I need to go for an external...

Cheers. I am using this setup at the moment: Macbook Pro (2021) playing music from Tidal via the headphone jack to a pair of Genelec 8030C studio monitors. I am thinking about buying a Bluesound NODE N130 and connect my monitors directly to the N130. Will I get a better sound quality? Anyone...

Hi! I want to record instagram videos while playing guitar. I am using Bias FX2, Logic Pro x, a scarlett 2i2 and a iPhone 8. My goal is to record the guitarsound straight in to my ihpone, while blendning in some room audio from the built in mac mic, and do it all in one take, without editing. I...

I'm completely new to the idea of using a DAC + Amp or Combo when I'm not in my home studio with my Apogee Ensemble Thunderbolt interface. I had just been using my 2019 MacBook Pro laptop's headphone out when someone suggested I look into a DAC & Amp. My headphones are OPPO PM-3 with an upgraded...
