Audio Sanity Refuge

[Ron Texas]

Are you confused about what gear to buy? Schedule an appointment now. We use a unique blend of weaponized psychology, extra high caffeinated coffee, American whiskey, genuine snake oil extracted from Arizona rattlesnakes and abusable substances to straighten you out.

Our methods are proven and supported by measurements made by our laboratory grade truth meter built by JA himself.

Special rates on our cure for Genelec envy, or fan and computer phobia. Other phobias at slightly higher rates.

No questions asked disposal of nasty music CD's. Free hard disk wiping by our tech, Hillary.

Like Bidon famously said: "We hold these truths to be self-evident...uh...you know the thing."
start with recommended setup for Loxjie A30. In that thread I read so many wild things...
DSD upsampled - why?
Do not use/buy DSD. It's Sony's scam.
Do not upsample anything. Some USB cables won't like it, not all DACs will like it, while "supporting" 384 or 768 KHz sampling. Did u notice Amir never tests those higher sampling rates?
192KHz or higher(!) over optical cable. 24bit/96KHz will do. You won't gain anything from 192. Downsample if u need to.
Volume on PC at 20% and on amp maximized - hence hiss. Why? Max your PC and DAC volumes. Use lowest volume on the amp.
