    PC speaker and Subwoofer advice

    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...

    "Premium" USB & Ethernet cables?

    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...

    Any software or electrical engineers on the forum familiar with the USB spec?

    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...

    Hardware volume control of SMSL Sanskrit 10th MKⅢ over USB

    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...

Between -99dB and -85dB is the strongest, I can no longer hear...

    Headphone Amp Only Suggestions (dongle/portable)

    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! 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...

    Phono preamp with USB output recommendation

    Hi all, I will soon release a new Roon Extension (part of rooExtend) to playback audio from (hopefully all) USB audio interfaces via Roon and its DSPs. This will also enable playback from a turntable via a phono pre and a USB ADC. I am here to ask you for a recommendation that I can give to my...

    What's the best way to plug in a USB DAC?

    I've got a some what simple question, what would be the best way to plug in a USB DAC? My "new" motherboard comes with only USB3.0 ports on the back and I heard if you plug a USB DAC (which is USB 2.0) into a USB 3.0 port on the back, it increases latency. I also heard if you use the USB...
