    Unveiling the xDuoo XD05Pro Hard Nucleus Modular DAC/Amp

    I saw your review and noticed there was a issue between the SS3602's and the XD05 Pro that caused the PROTECT error. Has this been addressed? Can you still use the XD05 Pro once this occurs - is there a way to reset it? I would love to upgrade to the SS3602's but want to make sure it really...

    Which replacement tubes, where do I get them, and how much? I've seen posts with replacement tubes that made no difference or made it worse. Thanks again. Mike

    Got everything set up adding a WiiM pro to stream using optical input on the DO300EX. Also using a USB connection from my MacBook Air. Got creative and made a fun shelf / stand for everything that I wish I could post a picture of here (but I guess that's a no go?). Loving it all a lot...

    Just got the xDuoo MT-604 and wondering how to use the gains to best sync with the DO300EX. 1st question: Hi or lo output on DO300EX. 2nd question / thought: My thought was to set the gains somewhere neat their final position on the MT-604 so I can use the single volume on the DO300EX to...

    I bought the Xduoo MT-604 on Apos on sale for $143.65 Shipped. Now I need a set of XLR cables to connect it to the SMSL DO300EX. I've seen some positive reviews on Worlds Best Cables (that you can buy on Amazon) but there are so many I'm overwhelmed! Which ones and how long? (My thought is...

    I currently have 4.4mm Pentacon balanced connector on my Verum One. Based on price and info about SMSL amps being a little unexciting (clinical / boring?) I'm leaning towards the Xduoo MT-604. Clearly I'd be using the DO300X dac but I'm not understanding which connections (outputs / inputs)...

    I'm new to better, more upscale equipment, in this hobby. My starting point was a pair of HD 580's I bought decades ago. After seeing all of the positive reviews of the Verum One Mk II I decided to take the leap. I bought the original Hip-Dac a while back and love it but of course I need more...

    Amazon has these for $398.65! I couldn't stop myself and bought one. It's your fault as this review pushed me over the top!

    Need ANC Headphones with Bluetooth and AptX

    I was thinking my best bet may be to go to a decent store and try these cans out.  I'm not a big fan of IE fan.

    Need ANC Headphones with Bluetooth and AptX

    I am going to my daughters masters program graduation in September so I will be spending some long hours flying.  I have all apple products (iPad, iPod, iPhone & Laptop) and I have some good headphones (Senn 580's would be the best of the lot).  I recently retired and do a lot of walking so if I...
