Hello all, I constantly hear high pitched buzzing and crackling through my headphones when using USB to connect PC to E30 to Schiit Asgard 3. I used to fix this by using optical, but my new motherboard does not have any sort of optical or coax out, only USB. This brings me back to the original...

So from reading around the SMSL A100 seems a good bet but have come across a lot of other options but could not find full reviews of them here so wondered if the A100 was what people recommend. I will be using them with Q Acoustic 3020i speakers. A lot of the time I will be using a computer to...

Hello together, I'm a (proud) owner of a Pioneer N50 A LAN Streamer / USB DAC. The device is connected to my wired LAN. In former times I mostly used Spotify connect for streaming, but recently I upgraded my stereo setup and in the course of that I switched to Tidal hifi. I also got a small...

What exactly is the purpose of this product? What does it change compared to a regular USB port? I thought digital signals cannot be affected by all that audio jazz. What even is USB noise? Isn't it just an exact stream of 1s and 0s agnostic to physical context (malfunction aside)? Matrix are a...

Windows 10 USB, 44.1 kHz, 32 bit Topping D50s (3. ATUO: OFF) When there is audio signal only on R channel, the audio goes off after about 4 seconds. When there is audio signal only on L channel, the audio is on continuously. For example, I can play this youtube video (music signal only on R...

Is there such as thing as a Bluetooth receiver USB dongle that receives a Bluetooth audio transmission and emits it into a USB connection? It would be the opposite of an Avantree DG80, which receives a signal from a USB socket, and transmits it via Bluetooth. I've looked hard, and can't find...

Hello, I'm looking an alternative for the BTM-1 to Emotiva TA-100. I found 1Mii B10 and Avantree DG60, but I'm not sure if these adapters can be used on this Amp. I'd like to know if it is possible to connect to them by phone to stream music? (supposedly they are only transmitters). I am...

Hello, I am trying to understand how to use the USB input from the Topping E30. Is this port only to connect it to a PC/laptop? Or can I use this for other devices? Would it be possible to connect a Chromecast audio to this USB port? How about a tablet running android? I am trying to find a...
