Hi all, Im trying to figure out what cable i need to buy. I have a Shiit DAC/AMP (Modius/Magnius) stack that i want to use with a PS5, but from what i understand the PS5 only supports UAC1, which the Modius DAC does not. I think i can use the G6 to passthrough audio INCLUDING tempest audio...

I work in a closed area, and am not allowed to have anything with network/cell connectivity. What players are there that have absolutely no way to communicate to a wifi network of any form?

Why are there so many transport devices? In every price range there's so many choices!   So what im looking for. I have a Dx90 currently, i dislike the screen size and the UI just doesn't work to well. The touchscreen is undersized to really operate as a touch, i wish it had physical keys.  ...

hello all,   I recently picked up Mad Dog headphones and an ibasso d6 amplifier. I want to delve a little bit deeper. Im wondering what software you all use or consider best for .flac playback as well as an equilizer? 

Im trying to purchase the ibasso d6 from ibasso.com but paypal is not going through. I contacted paypal and they said it isn't on their end they aren't declining the purchase.   So it is something with the ibasso website. Where else is a trusted seller that I can purchase the ibasso d6 from?
