Matrix Audio X-Sabre Pro
It will show up as speakers because thats the device that is controlling the audio sort of how a tv will show as speakers if you are using it as a monitor and audio out. Any way you need to use WASAPI to allow the dac to take over and change according to the output its receiving...- brocrusher

The HeadAmp GS-X and GS-X MK2 Thread
Yeah no problem. I was using a 1st gen schiit modi. To be honest however I didnt really know what I was doing till I got the matrix in terms of source files and computer settings so my reference may not be that great. That being said I wish I had gotten the standard pro instead of the mqa option...- brocrusher

Matrix Audio X-Sabre Pro
So I just got the X Sabre Pro with MQA and i cant seem to get it to sample above 24bit 44.1khz despite having tidal playing and it set to stream as Master settings. I made sure to update with the latest firmware as well. Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting I am missing?- brocrusher

The HeadAmp GS-X and GS-X MK2 Thread
Does any one have a recommended gain setting for a pair of Shure 535s? I have them in at low right now and it sounds super faint but I am worried if I go Medium or High that will damage them or even worse my hearing.- brocrusher

Yeah I really think so. Also here are pics of the amp https://www.head-fi.org/threads/headamp-gsx-mk-2-sold.896669/ from when I think the original owner was selling it. I ended up buying it from the guy who bought it from this poster.- brocrusher

The HeadAmp GS-X and GS-X MK2 Thread
I will have to take some when I am done at work but as far as I can tell its the same as the rest. Perhaps its just the angle? if you lick the image it should get the original size image. Also the PSU is to the right of it as I followed Justin's manual and did not stack them. As for my...- brocrusher

The HeadAmp GS-X and GS-X MK2 Thread
I just got my own GSX Mk-2 after lurking this sub for over a year and couldn't be more pumped. I originally started out with a schiit magni then upgraded to the Gilmore Lite Mk2 as it was all I could afford at the time and noticed an instant improvement. Now having switched from the Gilmore to...- brocrusher

Gilmore Lite Amp Owners Unite!
I just got a gilmore lite mk2 and this thing is amazing. I am noticing things I have not heard in songs before due to its ability to really separate instruments and create a nice image. Things dont sound like they are blending in together and for that great transparency I think this is well...- brocrusher

Amp/Dac Stands
Does any one know of any options for dac and amp stands? I am upgrading from a schiit stack and the new gear doesnt balance well on top of each other.
