    Thanks for the quick reply. Should I remove the back panel as well and glue there as well?

    Topping D30 DSD DAC XMOS/CS4398

    HELP! My D30 arrived this week and sounds great. However, the board inside is loose. When I flip the switched or plug in to the RCA jacks, I can feel the entire thing moving. Can anyone who's opened theirs up tell me how it is supposed to be attached inside? Does it use screws or hot glue? I...

    Schiit Magni2 Uber/Modi2 Uber vs Vali/Loki

    I have the Modi 2 Uber, and before I decided I wanted the additional inputs for my TV and CD player,  had the non-uber version. The Uber gets a brushed aluminum case, the less expensive Modi 2 gets a painted metal case. I'm guessing the amp matches the Modi 2. So if you care about them matching...

    HiFiMan HE400 or Beyerdynamic 32ohm 880's for home and travel? Either usable without amp?

    I have a pair of 880 32ohms.   I consider myself a pure audiophile. I do the vast majority of my listening totally analog, via my VPI turntable and Usher BE-718 speakers. Every piece in my system has been rated either class A or B in Sterophile Magazine.  I bought the Beyers for late nights...

    How good is my rig?

    You owe a huge debt to the person frm whom you inherited this stuff. Vandy 3a's would be acceptable to all but the highest of high end snobs. Bryston stuff is high end competitive and bullet proof. A stereo with just a pair of Vandy's and a good brystons would compete with any $5000 stereo out...

    Want to upgrade a simple system - Any suggestions?

    If you have $500 to spend, you can actually get a great sounding small stereo, if you shop in the right place. Rather than circut city or Best buy, try to find a good but not snobby high end stereo store that carries NHT or PSB speakers... both make $300 per pair speakers that will make your...
