Hi everyone. First-time poster here. Since my latest hyper-fixation is reading audio equipment measurements I decided to make an account here on ASR. For years I’ve been using my trusty Behringer UM2 USB audio interface for my DAC/Amp needs. This thing boasts a whopping (!) 16bits/48kHz...

I'm looking for DACs in the <$300 USD range that have a transformer isolated co-axial SPDIF input. I saw that this was a feature for the JDS Labs EL DAC II+, ("Coaxial S/PDIF input is isolated using a Pulse transformer to minimize the possibility of ground loop noise.") which seems like a good...

I recently had an "Aha Eureka, Wow!!!" revelation... only to be followed a few days later by a "Wait, Oh Crud!!!" realization. Reaching out to this list for any insights on whether it is possible to shift from Oh Crud back to Aha Eureka. Some context about my my home office stereo environment...

So I was using Chinese noname (Amanero Italian USB Interface Card Cpld Spdif I2S DSD512 Dop128 Coaxial Output Signal Processing And Conversion) that cost around 90Euro (it is not cheap, knowing it has noname, very basic make just a pcb and clear plastic, no cardboard box and stuff and not very...

Greetings to all, I am currently using an Asustor Flashstor 6 as an Audio playback server, which is equipped with both USB and Toslink output. When I connect the NAS to my Topping Dx7 pro+ via USB, it works perfectly. Both HiRes player and SoundsGood recognize the DAC and allow me to play...

Hello, I'm looking for a simple solution to convert microphone audio to S/PDIF stream. I wonder if there is a single device that accepts mic audio as input and outputs S/PDIF stream? Thanks. Pavel

If I have one AES3 or S/PDIF signal containing two channels, is there an off-the-shelf solution to split the two channels into two separate signals without converting to analog? (Not splitting into two identical signals -- I want, e.g., left channel in one cable and right channel in the other...

I have an audio setup for active speakers using a headless Raspberry PI 400 running brutefir (FIR filtering), with an Asus Xonar U7 USB DAC providing multiple audio streams to drive three stereo amps and in turn two tweeters, two mid woofers and a sub. The audio feed to this setup comes from a...

This unit has been used for about 1 year, it is in very good condition. See pictures below. If you are interested please send me an email at leo @ orchardaudio.com

Hi everyone, I am considering buying a TOSLINK to digital SPDIF adapter / converter. Couldn't find information online regarding the conversion between digital optical to digital electrical. Does anyone know about the performance of the conversion and if signal degradation is to be expected...

I am proud to announce the release of Rev 3.0 of my award winning PecanPi® product line. The PecanPi Streamer is a networked music player with build-in DAC and headphone amplifier. The PecanPi DAC is high-performance DAC for the RaspberryPi and Tinker Board, this is for DIYer...

Hi everybody, This is a thread about Raspberry pi dacs and digital connections. I'm moving to a new amplifier and the Marantz PM6006 seems to fit perfectly my budget. My current source is a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with a DACBerry One+HAT (https://www.osaelectronics.com/product/dacberry-one-plus/)...

After the recent measurement I did for the unbranded ADC I got off eBay, to compare a friend borrowed me a relatively similar device by a thomann.de house brand - Swissonic Converter AD 24/192 that sells for about 40€: Basic features are mostly the same, except this one comes with a power...

Recently I was looking for a cheap ADC and found a generic, unbranded one on eBay for just under 10$ (UPC: 6927373037416). Here's a few pictures of the device: My plan was to use an ADC to connect my turntable to a digital input of miniDSP OpenDRC-DI, but I didn't really want to spend much on...

I was looking for a BT 5.0 receiver that could feed a signal over coax. This implementation of the Qualcomm CSR8675 seems to fit the bill. Note this does not include a DAC.

Hi all This is a question lifted from another thread, I would like to confirm the answer before buying anything :) Question: My motherboard has a S/PDIF header, and I am considering getting something like this to connect my PC to a DAC via toslink optical. Are there any caveats with this...

Hello everyone, I am looking for a solution to circumvent the removal of the optical output on the PS5. So far, I have seen two possibilities: A UAC1 USB Audio Interface, such as the Behringer UCA202/UCA222 An HDMI Audio Extractor I would be fine with the first solution, however, the...

So, I should shortly be receiving a Holo May dac, and i'm a bit confused about some of the things that people have said about it/the spring online. Typically, I'd just connect my DAC to my PC via a decent USB cable (Just a Supra one, not super cheap, but nothing snakeoil) A lot of people have...

Hey guys, first post here, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section, I recently got a Fiio K5 Pro, I wanted a capable dac/amp mostly for future upgrades but it does drive my AKG K240 perfectly, I'm very happy with it. However, when used with USB, whenever my PC does something intensive like...

So I got both of these DACs. From a basic A/B test all I notice is the Modi 3 sounds louder than the 2 but overall very similar via USB. However on SPDIF it's louder and also more muffled/bassy/"warm", it sounds extremely different. Could this be an issue with my input? It's a digital output on...
