So, as the title suggests, I am having problems with Bluetooth audio, youtube, and windows 11. I just got a DX9, sounds amazing. Bluetooth works wonders on Plexamp and also video games. I am using A2DP Alternative Driver for Windows, and enabled LDAC. (I bought a license). Only problem is...

As the title says, shopping for a new DAC. Around the price of a D90SE. Can I get any better? Or should I just go with the tried and true D90SE?

Hi, So I'm wondering what are some good headphones to pair with an OTL tube amp such as the Darkvoice or Ta-26? I have a DT 880 600ohm. I know there is also the Sennheiser HD 6XX (and similar), as well as the HD 800 S. What else is there? Should I be looking at tube rolling before a...

Hi, I was wondering what would be a good upgrade from a Geshelli Labs JNOG (AK 4493)? One major feature that I'm looking for is bluetooth support (so I can use my laptop or ebook reader with it). My budget is around $500-600- ish... Preferrably if there is an upgrade in quality of sound as...

Hi, I am new to Windows EQ settings. I was wondering what the best software was to get some good results? Being able to quickly turn on and off the different EQ settings, as well as having multiple profiles is ideal. Thank you.

Hi, I have a 600 ohm pair of DT 880 S. Powered through a THX 789 XLR (Balanced). My DAC is a Geshelli Labs JNOG XLR > 789 My headphones are clipping on gain 3, doesn't matter volume. I have an Emotiva A-100 speaker amp, and when I play music through that (RCA from JNOG), I don't get...

Hi, I was just wondering if this was worth it? ($130 CAD) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001143407169.html It should be plenty of power for a THX 789. I was just wondering what are the potential gains for switching to a linear power supply over the standard SMPS? Ideally some things I...

Hi, I was shopping around for tube amps, and I came across this on Aliexpress...

Hi, So i'm looking to downgrade a little from the iSine 20. Looking for good price/performance. The reason for the downgrade is that I find the iSine's a little delicate when it comes to the earhooks, otherwise killer sound. I have a Hiby R5 that I use to run them balanced. Would like an...

There is this Douk Audio product with 3 different configurations of oscillators. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254626016242?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000023.17.270e7446c2hcoE -3 standard oscilators -3 temperature controlled oscilators -2 femtosecond oscilators and 1 standard There is also this...

From my research, the top image came after the bottom image. I know there is a 880M, 880S, and 880. Does that moniker apply to both or just one? Is one the full version while the other isn't? I only see the M and S versions on the second image, never the first.

Would this be a good pairing? I know typically tube amps are bad for planar magnetic, which is why I'm cautious about this.

Hi, I am looking to reterminate my ATH-M50 headphones from 3.5mm TRS to 2.5mm TRRS. It is already modded for dual entry with a Cardas quadlink cable. I am wondering how the TRRS should be wired. I have seen a FiiO and A&K standard. And I have also seen. Which one is right? I want to be...

Like the title says. I am looking to buy a DAP for around 500 (or less), and not sure what to get. Running DT 770 80 ohms and iSine 20 on the go (one winter/one summer). I use 3.5mm on the DT770 and would like to use a balanced connector on the iSine 20. I do not like Sabre DACs, I find them...

Hi, I was skeptical at first about power cables and such, until I plugged in my amp to a Belkin surge protector, and heard a massive amount of noise. I then plugged the amp straight back into the wall, with no issue. I then picked up a Furman PST-6 power conditioner, and boy, did that make a...

I was looking at the Monoprice Monolith THX DAC, anything better in the price range? Must support usb in and RCA out.

Hey, I am looking for a computer DAC. Must support usb in, as well as RCA out. I do not need a built in amp, since I am splitting and sending the signal to both an AV receiver for speakers (Denon X1400H), as well as a tube amp for headphones (Glow Amp One). I was considering the Monoprice...

So here is the deal. My headphone jack on my laptop is broken, so I need to find an alternative, which I plan to get a USB DAC for it, rather than repair it; it is a 6 year old laptop. At most this has to drive a DT 770 PRO 80 Ohm headphone.   I was looking at the AudioQuest Dragonfly Red and...

Are there any better alternatives to the Schiit Modi 2? Requirements are that it has USB input, and RCA out. Looking for something around 100$.   Or is the Modi the best option?

Alright, looking to replace my current DAC (GLOW DAC 1.3), which is emitting a high pitched squeal.   I was looking at the Schiit Modi 2.   I was wondering if there is a better alternative to this?

As the title says, I am looking to get a tube amp for my K702/65 to upgrade from my ASUS Essence STX. I will continue to use the sound card as the DAC.   Was looking at the Glow Amp One, but it is a little bit out of my price range at $1200 CAD.
