Emotiva Stealth DC-1 DAC
Hi, I'm just bought Stealth 8 monitors and I'm very pleased with them! sound great! and they also look even better than they do in photos. Now I need a DAC. I'm considering the Emotiva DC-1. You mention you need to switch between headphones and line level. Can't you use the jacks on the...- qveda

Looking for DAC/pre/headphone amp for desktop
Thanks for the suggestion. Audio-gd was off my radar screen but very well may be a great choice. I'll read some reviews. I wonder if there are a portable products that I should consider that also work well for the desktop. as I said, the Mojo form factor doesn't feel that great to me, but...- qveda

Looking for DAC/pre/headphone amp for desktop
Hi, I want to "hi-fi" my home office. For now, plan to use this primarily for my iMac as the source of digital files. Was looking for desktop DAC/pre so I would have a volume control for powered speakers (Focal Alpha 80's, or Emotiva Stealth 8's). Was considering products like...- qveda

What about "pro audio" (A)DACs for head-fi ?
I primarily want the best audio quality I can afford for audiophile listening, rather for recording, but I want to learn to do some home audio recording with bass guitar and soft synths. Will I need two independent systems? one for audiophile listening in my home office, and one for home...- qveda

Reply to review by 'qveda' on item 'Astell&Kern AK100II High Resolution Single DAC Audio Player'
@MikeyVee.... does that mean the AK100 MkII won't work as a DAC on the newer mini's and iMacs with USB3.. Is this a problem with other DACs, or in this case, just with the AK?- qveda

Great review! thanks. Can you describe a bit more on copying files from a Mac to the AK100 II ? Does the Mac easily recognize the AK ? special configuration or app required?- qveda

Reply to review by 'qveda' on item 'FiiO X1 Ultraportable Hi-Res DAP'
Great review. Very timely for me since my old ipod classic gen4 just died. I was just thinking of getting an X1 since a replacement ipod classic is far more expensive (although more convenient for syncing etc) I wouldn't expect the X1 to be as good as the X5 (which gets great reviews), but...- qveda
