Hey folks, I am using UAPP on a google pixel 6a with an apple usb dongle. Qobuz as a source. It works about 50% of the time, and I typically get "error decoding" or "error starting playback" messages. I feel like I have been through every setting, including multiple networks and changing...

Hey folks I am not typically a headphone person, so you'll notice that my account here is old and typically less active. Since I've been around last, a friend let me keep a pair of Shure Aonic 4 IEMs. They're kind of rocking my world, and I'm really happy with how they sound, even through phone...

Strat, Two Rock, JHS soul food, ts10, Aqua Puss... MMMMM John Mayer fan?

Hey folks I've got a trade offer and I'm trying to determine which iteration of the Schiit Bifrost I'm looking at. So far I haven't been able to find a collection of distinctions between gens and versions all in one place so I'm starting a thread. The model I'm looking at is labeled SCH04e. How...

I downloaded the Amanero Combo384 drivers here [https://amanero.com/drivers.htm] and ran the exe install file for Windows 10. It appears to have fixed my problem, I'm not hearing the crackling anymore. Nothing has changed other than a new driver install (cables, AC power, etc etc are all the...

Almost sounds like vinyl surface noise. It's happening for every file.

Hey folks. I just plugged in an Audio GD r2r 11 DAC/Headphone amp. Using Foobar and MusicBee as players, WASAPI out in the the DAC. While playing back redbook FLAC files, there's a ticking noise that occurs about 4 times per second. It sounds like it's mixed low in the music, but it's...

Here's me again

Sorry folks, wasn't trying to stir the pot. I apologize if I made a violation. Just trying to get some perspective

Edit: asked for input about a thread on another website, looks like the content was already in this thread so comment redacted. I'm a dope :P

While I believe Schiit produces high quality gear, I wonder if their house sound is too forward for my taste. I'll read through more of the thread later. Looks interesting!

I'd be comfortable in the $1k USD ballpark. I don't feel like I need to blow the whole budget though. A friend is offering me a Line Magnetic 502. I'm going to try to demo it at home.

My current system is a JE Labs simple 2a3 amplifier driving a pair of Altec 604's with Markwart crossovers. I'm finishing up a Thorens TD 124 for my anolog setup, which means I'll be looking at upgrading digital again soon. my experience: I've been using the Starting Point Systems TDA 1543 DAC...

Hey folks, wondering if anyone can point me to the next step. I am using an RPI b 3 with the v0.3-beta (23/03/2016) release. Currently the unit is plugged into a monitor via HDMI, and I am using a Logitech keyboard to navigate through the UI. I do not have any touchscreen devices to wire to the...

Hey HF community. This is a genuine inquiry, not an attempt to kick a hornets nest. I love the sensation of a soundstage filling a room, and I have a strong preference to a soundstage being in front of me. At this point, all of the gear in my setup has been chosen with the most primary criteria...
