    Question(s) regarding THX 789 (THX 887) and DAC (clipping?)

    Hello I'm really a full-blown newbie when it comes to this sort of things unfortunately... I currently have a Monoprice THX 887 (pretty much the same as the Massdrop THX AAA 789 I'm sure, I just made the title THX 789 since it is more well known I guess) and along with it a Chord Hugo 2 as...

    Help with DAC & Amplifier pairings. (Drop, SMSL, Schiit, Topping, THX,...)

    Confusion regarding JDS Labs Atom power vs THX AAA 789 power

    Hello, I'm new here, although I've been lurking and reading the reviews for a few weeks now. I hope this is the right place to post this question, I saw other posts asking for recommendations, etc, so I thought this was as good a forum as any to ask. My question relates to the power...
