    Savant or Angie?

    Curious if anyone has actually heard both side by side? The Savant's price is extremely tempting! But I've only heard the Angie which I really liked.

    XLR or TRS to RCA connections, does that make the cables unbalanced?

    A bit of a backstory, I recently purchased a set of KRK rokit 6's and now I'm on the hunt to look for a reasonably priced DAC for them. Sadly, it seems like most of the USB DACs have RCA out and I wanted to use balanced connections because I had issues with RCA with my current DAC now. I see...

    Good PC DAC?

    I'm looking for a PC DAC that I can use with my Audioengine A5's. Right now I'm using a Lexicon Alpha and I love the sound but it can't play 96k or 192k. I'd like something similar that'll give me wider soundstage and great clarity with vocals. I also intend to upgrade my A5 in the future to KRK...

    I have a dilemma...

    My desk is one of those foldable outdoor desks(pic below) and I really don't like how rough it is.

    Question about Behringer's UCA202 and O2/ODAC combo

    Hello. I'm looking for a good cheap DAC for my friend as a gift and I stumbled upon the UCA202. It's $29 and I heard it's pretty good as a DAC and it has a 50 ohm output impedance. However, the Creative Aurvana Live! headphones that I've already bought are known to have a 32 ohm impedance so...
