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've got the Issue that when i try to play audio via USB I'm getting a annoying noise that i can't seem to fully fix. From what i found out could it be caused by the USBs "Framerate", which is 1kHz, but how can i stop it? The only Idea i got is getting a powered USB-Hub, but i wanted to ask if...

Hello all ! 70 year old long time audio guy here with a quick question. Thank you in advance for your advice . I just bought a new Apple I phone 15 yesterday. I was connecting my previous i11 to my Musical Fidelity V90 DAC with a USB cable from the phone to play Amazon subscription hi res...

Hello everyone, I recently bought a "cheap" turntable but the warehouse where I bought it gave me a Rega Planar 3 with the Exact cartridge pre-mounted by mistake (lucky me). After setting it up to my soundbar with a chinese Analog to Digital (optical) converter there was almost no power coming...

Hey guys, as the title sais already I am looking for a USB to AES or SPDIF DDC, which is capable of a very good resampling, so it always plays at a fixed sample rate of 96khz (PCM). I tried to find some devices online, but I could never find the info if a fixed sample rate could be set/used...

Hey, I've been using the same $10 PC speaker and 'subwoofer' set on my PC for 20 years. I mostly just use it for playing video games, but lately I've been desiring to hear more bass out of my games. Like, when the ground shakes in a game, it would be cool if I could 'feel' it more. I remember...

G'Day Folks! Long time lingerer, I rarely post, but I'd love an opinion. I've subscribed to Stereophile my whole life and just got April. While the written reviews tend to be an advertisement for the product, John Atkinsons' measurements are what drew me to this mag and quite possibly got me...

I recently got a Moondrop FreeDSP which is an IEM cable with a USB-C termination, comprising both a balanced DAC and a DSP. It's plug and play and the last used DSP profile is automatically carried forward & applied without the need of any software. However, the software you need to configure...

I have been reading for hours and I have a question: I have tried the Cyrus Soundkey DAC/AMP with the Samsung Note 8 and it is excellent for music but the Note 8 sends phone calls to it's own built-in speaker/earpiece. I have also found out that the Samsung Note 8 comes with these USB-C...

Hi there! I would love to get a decent 2.1 stereo setup for my PC. I am not gonna buy a Logitech or Bose 2.1 System but would rather have something that delivers better sound. I only have 1 source, being my PC. So a really good USB connection would be appreciated. Do i only need an AMP? Or do...

Please help me to understand Buffer and Sample size functions in ASIO devices. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------First scenario------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Foobar2K buffer is...

Hi. Anyone had luck controlling their SMSL DAC (hardware) volume using the USB interface? The Sanskrit 10th MKⅢ does not seem to expose its volume control over USB (see output from amixer below). I have come across reports online that this was possible with the MKII version, and other SMSL DAC...

Hi all, So I set myself up today to re-calibrate my system which I was looking forward to but have had problems with REW not seeing my DAC's digital interface? I use an RME ADI2 PRO fs be and am connected to my laptop via a USB cable yet REW only sees the analogue 1+2 interface? Can anyone shed...

Hello everyone! I'm looking around for a usb audio interface (no thunderbolt) around 500€ that has these requirements: - distortion around -115db more is better - at least 4 entrances more is better -at least 6 outings -at least 24/192khz -internal mixer and dsp -a truly flat frequency response...

I am using a Topping D10 Balanced with a Sabaj A20h and I just found something really weird, I am picking up FM radio interference but only on 3 separate volume spectrums, between -99dB and -85dB, between -3dB and -1dB, and at 0dB. Between -99dB and -85dB is the strongest, I can no longer hear...

New user here. I've searched this site so I'm assuming this problem unique to me. I was really excited to receive this unit. I have 3 inputs (Mac mini M2/USB, PC Laptop/BT, set top box/toslink) with a set of powered Mackie studio monitors with balanced inputs. Everything connected fine and...

I feel like I've done an exhaustive search but think I'm missing some options... Are there any other products like the HELM DB12 AAAMP? A small, portable headphone amp only? Just got my Sony NW-A306 Walkman and I absolutely love everything except the output power is definitely borderline...

Hi there, Sorry if I'm asking something obvious but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. Just received the Qudelix 5K and I am not able to access most functions from the Qudelix mobile app unless it's paired with my phone. I am not intending to use it as a BT amp/DAC with my phone...

Hi! I'm sorry, the forum has already discussed similar topics, but I could not find a clear answer in any of them. I can't buy another amp besides these (big room, big floor standing speakers, country where these devices are cheaper, usb connection only). So there is: SMSL VMV A2 - XMOS...

I'm using the USB input to the DAC8 Pro with the normal windows drivers (not ASIO). I can get sound on windows applications but in REW I can't get sound - it says: No input mixers available supporting PCM_SIGNED 48000.0 Hz, 16 bit, stereo, 4 bytes/frame, little-endian I'm also not getting any...
