It is my understanding that using a network streamer to send digital audio to my Chord Qutest DAC would be better than my current setup which is connecting the DAC to my gaming PC via USB. I do have a few questions about the whole setup though. If I do get a streamer such as the SOTM sMS-200...

I would like to know if there exists a product that enables volume control via a remote that somehow attaches to the existing volume pot with some kind of motor that enables the knob to turn clockwise or anticlockwise. Reason I ask is because I have a headphone amplifier I would like to use as...

After the failure of my Questyle CMA400i and no luck with customer support, I am looking for high-end/reference All in one DAC/AMP/PRE replacement to be used at my desktop computer to power my Audeze LCD-4z's and my ADAM S2V studio monitors with a budget of 4,000$ I really liked the smooth and...

My mother would like to purchase headphones for her personal enjoyment and since she is not an audiophile and doesn't really know what she likes in terms of sound signature, I believe one leaning towards neutral would be preferable in this case. The headphone should be an over-ear type and...

So I've come across what seems to be a balanced cable adapter that works on the Mojo: https://www.carousell.sg/p/chord-mojo-balanced-output-adapter-1054701914/ However, I don't think it's a balanced DAC and I'm guessing both headphone outputs share the same ground therefore there would be no...

So after sitting in a drawer for a long time, I decided to use them one day and realized how bad the USB noise coming from my phone was when using an OTG cable connected directly into the Mojo. On top of that, whenever the phone gets near the device, I also get interference noises leaking...

I would like to make my own headphone cable but since good wire is expensive, I don't want to order too much of it or even worse, too little of it! Need to make a 1.5 meter long straight cable (4 pin XLR to single Mini 4 pin XLR) and would like to know how much wire would I need exactly?

So I'm having issues wearing my LCD-4z for more than an hour at a time as I get a hotspot on my head due to the carbon frame touching the leather strap near the rear of my head causing redness and a painful burning sensation. I've tried shortening the leather strap as others have told me to do...

I remember the days when I used to be able to buy pure silver wire such as the moon audio silver dragon per foot to make my own interconnects, headphones cables etc. These days however, it seems the vendors are more aware of our DIY nature and seem to abolish the sales of their TOTL wires as...

So I just got back home after having purchased a brand new Audeze LCD-4z form my local distributor/reseller and noticed something off. Firstly, the mini XLR jacks are not flush with the magnesium body and one of them seems to have melted internally as can be seen with the excess plastic between...

So I've had my DT1990's for a year now and I've been loving them ever since. Only issue I have with them is with the S sounds as they are very harsh and almodst siblant. I am looking for another pair of headphones that are as neutral as can be since I hate adding color to the music...

I'm having sound popping/stuttering issues with my CMA400i. Been using it on optical since my computer's USB port is noisy and to avoid any ground loop issues and it's been working fine for a while now but every one in a while, the audio output starts glitching, rendering it unusable. I've...

I would like to mod my DT1990 pro's internal wiring and get exposed OCC copper/silver with a coaxial structure (two wires within one sheath. Prefer to source from Aliexpress but will consider other online stores as well. DIY connectors and cable parts are also needed.

Has anyone attempted to go balanced on their DT1990's? If so, how do you reach the driver? I was not able to pry the cup appart so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been having trouble finding a pair of high end active monitors to be used with my computer as speakers since the expensive ones are usually very large (8 inch +). I don't want something too big so a 5 inch woofer should be enough for my needs. Problem is I can't seem to find 5 inch active...

Can it be done? Reason being my headphone amp needs to be on max volume to get my 250 Ohm headphones playing the way i like em but since it has 4 times the power on the balanced XLR output, could I make a cable and short out the ground to get a more powerful unbalanced output on the 1/4 inch...

Looking for a pair of headphones that are as close to having monitors facing me at my desk. Sound-stage and stereo image must be impeccable I assume. Are the HD800s the best at that? Bright headphones bother me so they would have to be neutral or a bit warm sounding. Will be using them for...

I just bought Beyerdynamic DT 1990 pro headphones and would like to buy an amp/dac to be used with those headphones and any other ones I might buy in the future including IEMs and would like all the bells and whistles such as a balanced 4 pin XLR option, a Preamp output to control the volume of...

I tried High powered chargers with 2.4A, charging from laptop, power banks etc but the noise persists and It is making it hard for me to use my Mojo as a desktop DAC in line out mode to my powered monitors. Don't want to have to keep unplugging the cable when it is fully charged and re-plugging...

I am using a Chord Mojo in line out mode from my laptop that feeds the signal (3.5 mm to RCA) to a pair of studio monitors with a volume control at the back of one of the speakers. My question is what is the best way to control the volume to retain maximum SQ. Should I control the Volume from...

Guys I am looking for a quality volume knob that connects via USB to my laptop and enables me to control the Bluetooth speaker's volume digitally though the windows volume mixer as my monitors have a volume knob at the back and I want fast and easy volume control. Looking for a quality unit...

I'm in the market for high fidelity and compact/portable stereo speakers to be carried around in my backpack when I'm travelling around with my laptop. They don't have to be too loud and sound quality is the top priority. The speakers should preferably have an internal USD DAC and bluetooth...

After two years of ownership, my Shure SE846 collar seal has broken off from continuous filter changing so I scrapped the seal off with my nail and now the nozzle wiggles a tiny bit in the housing since there is a gap between the housing and the collar.   Is this an issue I have to look into...

I'm looking to change my RSA predator amp/dac to something better to be used with my phone via OTG cable and with my PC.   I like the AQ dragonfly red and the JDS C5D but I am not sure if they would be better than the current setup with my Shure se846 IEM's being newer and all.   The shure's...

I am wondering why my OTG cable that connects my phone to USB devices wont work with my RSA predator amp/dac if using USB dac as input from the phone.   The AQ dragonfly works this way so does the device need to support it with hardware or what?   The OTG cable works as external storage but...
