I am currently progressing my way through music listening, my current setup consists of a Lenovo PC, running QOBUZ with WASAPI, to an Aiyima A7 Integrated amp into Triangle Borea BR02's. I am looking for a DAC under 150 pounds (UK) mainly neutral as Boreas are quite mid heavy, the room size and...

Hello! For years I used a HiFimeDIY USB DAC 2 in combination with my Mac Mini and now I would like to upgrade. My headphones are the "KNS 8400 (36 ohms)" by KRK. I am interested to get better headphones this year (maybe the Hifiman Sundara). I can spend a maximum of 350 USD / 300 EUR. Already...

Looking for recommendations on an AMP/DAC combo for my HD6XX. Looking for something with XLR balanced.. I'm looking at the Monolith THX 788 and the Monolith THX 887 and heard about the THX 789. Not sure what to get, it seems the 788 has XLR IS NOT balanced? Looks like the 788 XLR IS balanced...
