SMSL just released upgraded version of SMSL M8 with ES9028Q2M chip and DSD512 support. Anyone heard it already? Strangely, they state it has lower SNR than M8 (M8a ~ 117 vs M8 ~ 125). Dunno if to believe those numbers anyway.  ...

Hi all,   I am considering buying a DAC for my Hifi setup.    I have Harman Kardon HK 6800 amplifier driving Apogee Centaur speakers with laptop as a source.   I use the setup for music (70%) and movies/gaming (30%).    I'd like to buy a DAC for around ~ $ 150 with USB and optical input...

Hi Head-fiers,   did any of you have any experience with the new Hifime DAC?   I would use it to feed integrated amplifier & speakers from PC and PS4.   Cheers.   Tomas

Hey guys,   I know there were some similar threads but I haven't found a satisfactory answer in those.   I want circumaural/supra-aural headphones, at price around 100$ (preferably 100$ being the upper limit - but I am willing to pay slightly above if the difference would be worth it)...
