Hey guys! i have the impression to resurect this thread! I own the x1 since 2014, really happy with it. I use it for gaming, music streaming on a every day basis. I recently sold my brooklyn dac+ and had some great times with the combination. I was thinking about selling the X1... but honestly...

Very nice critics, might consider buying the unit, wanted a good dac to pair my stereo setup also so it really fits my need. The only negative thing about the unit is that it doest do MQA with Tidal, is it something you personaly tried and if so is it a "must" for the general experience? Regards,

Thanks for the recommandations guys! Looks pretty solid and promising. Elmoe, how is the amp section with other hp in general?is it musical and entertaining? I don’t mind having some coloration in the sound if it makes it more enjoyable. Having fun with it?

Hey guys!   I've just bought a new plasma tv and the built-in speakers really suck. So I was looking at the speakers I actually own in my basement and just found my good old Dayton Audio BR-1 ( 8 ohms 100 watts)...

I have the Auzentech Forte and I can totally use the cmss-3d and other audio processing from my sound card for my games through my optical cable to my external dac/amp.. If I want to bypass my soundcard for music I'll simply open J River Media Center and use the s/pdif option under WASAPI. Best...

Wow I would have think that there would have been a major difference between these 2 amps.. Also, after having read your comparisons thread, I'm now confused with the result.. I own an Audio-Gd FUN Version A Earth opamp and I was thinking about making my own B22 or M3 to pair with my futur...
