I installed the Waves Q10 Plug to enable EQ on my Mac with Audirvana. While it appears everything works, I can't get equalizer to display full screen. Here are two pics showing what I am seeing: Any thoughts on how to fix this display issue would be appreciated. Joe.

I wasn't sure where best to place this post; Members' Lounge seemed as good as any. A longtime audio geek and Head-Fi'er, I'm curious to know how many others feel as I do about equipment stacking. I see so numerous images of members' rigs with amps place on top of D-A convertors and amps on...

Doc recently posted to FB and Insta an image of an electrostatic headphone amp Bottlehead is developing and may offer. Looks interesting. I'd give it a close look, if it comes to market. Joe.

Hello All, With the release of macOS Catalina, is there a favored music player software? Looking for that which yields the best audio quality. I was a longtime JRiver user, but experienced issues with playback stopping (ver. 25). Then, switched to AmarraLuxe, which sounded good but no longer...

Early Head-Fi'er using his then-current rig. Actually, this is a picture of my dad, taken in 1925, when he was about three years old. I was told he was listening to a crystal radio set. Though he later became a family physician, he held a lifelong fascination with all things radio and...

Just plugged a digital cable into the S/DIF out of my X-Fi ExtremeMusic and received a nice jolt up my arm. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas what may have caused it? Of course, trying to reach anyone at Creative is futile.

I could use some help from the group. I am driving an Audioengine A2/AS8 sat/sub system from a V-DAC, which is connected to the optical S/PDIF from an X-Fi ExtremeMusic soundcard. Occasionally -- usually when websurfing -- the speakers will emit a loud, high-pitched, shrill tone that lasts...

I'm contemplating using S-PDIF out from my Creative X-Fi ExtremeMusic to my Theta DS ProPrime II DAC. Will use the DAC to feed AudioEngine A2s on my desktop. The Theta is just sitting at the moment, so I thought I'd like to give it a try. I'm thinking the sound card is my weak link. Interested...

I am contemplating purchasing the M-Audio Microtrack II for use as both a portable recorder and music player. There is plenty of information available about it recording quality but virtually no info on how it performs as a music player. Can the M-Audio be used as a player? If so, how is its SQ...

I originally posted this in the General Discussion forum. At the suggestion of the group, I am reposting it here. I have several hundred songs, ripped from CDs, that are stored on my computer in AIFF format. Will there be a degradation in sound quality if I convert these to ALAC, or am I...

I hope this is the correct forum for this. I have several hundred songs, ripped from CDs, that are stored on my computer in AIFF format. Will there be loss if I convert these to ALAC, or am I better off reripping directly to ALAC? I've done brief comparison of a couple of tunes, which I...
