    Monoprice Monolith Desktop THX Amp/DAC (#24459) - Impressions Thread

    Yes, I updated to this version but unfortunately am still have the issue - I've also gone into Device Manager and disabled all USB power-savings. I've been using TOSLINK connection without any issues thought, so I guess I'll just stay with that. It's limited to 95Khz which as far as I understand...

    Monoprice Monolith Desktop THX Amp/DAC (#24459) - Impressions Thread

    Yea, supposedly there is a patch via BIOS mid-last year that addresses this, but obviously it hasn't fixed everything. Maybe it's worth giving a try. Also, some people reported a workaround by connecting the usb to a usb hub then into computer. At this point, I think I'll settle with using...

    Monoprice Monolith Desktop THX Amp/DAC (#24459) - Impressions Thread

    I bought a toslink cable and the sound hasn’t cut out for a couple of days now. Seems to be working fine. By any chance, are you using AMD 5 series cpu and using pcie-4? I heard that usb power cuts in and out on this platform - that may explain the sound cutting out while using USB.

    Monoprice Monolith Desktop THX Amp/DAC (#24459) - Impressions Thread

    Just wondering, have you ever resolved this issue? I might try buy a toslink optical cable to see if it resolves the issue but if you've tried it and the sound still cuts out randomly then no point in getting a cable! Also, I recently upgraded from Win10 to Win11 and the problem still persists :(

    Monoprice Monolith Desktop THX Amp/DAC (#24459) - Impressions Thread

    Has anyone had an issue where the DAC/amp no longer outputs sound after on idle/standby for a longer period (usually overnight) when using USB on Windows 10? I don’t turn off the DAC/amp when not on the computer but the sound doesn’t disappear every time- maybe 2 or 3 times over a week. I...

    Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)

    I got the headphone and dac/amp sooner than expected and I'm loving it so far! I applied the EQ's for a bit more bass and warmth and am really enjoying the flexibility of the HD800S with different musical genres. Also tried COD Warzone and these are insane, these sure do enhance the spatial...

    Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)

    Thanks, I’ve ordered the Monolith based on your recommendation :) May I ask what EQ settings you use on it? Does the Monolith have a way to turn off EQ, via switch or on/off? I assume if you use the hardware EQ, you’re not using PC to EQ at all? Thanks again!

    Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)

    Hi everyone, I have an HD800S on the way and I'm trying to find an amp that will pair will with it for PC gaming (mostly FPS, emphasis on hearing footsteps, distance) and casual music (I enjoy all types of music but would like some bass for the pop/hip-hop/movies experience). I've done quite a...

    +1 You can also tell by the pics they provide, the gold plated colour on the housing compared to the 'gold' on the flex (wire) is a different tone. The gold on the flex is a lighter colour, and that was one of the signs that it's fake.   Quote:

    The black box is also about 2/3 the size of the brown - brown has that 'limited edition' feel to it.   Quote:
