That is a DAC itself though, right? I’m just looking for something that could essentially relay the digital signal. Basically computer > usb > [x?] > tounk > DAC

That might be doable. That does the trick, takes a USB signal and can send it out as SPDIF? That’s what it looks like from online specs but i wanted to make sure…

Hi all - I have a 2008 iMac with a SPID/F digital optical output embedded in the headphone jack. I have a cable that connects that directly to my DAC and everything works great. However, my computer is in its death throes so I’d like to get a Mac desktop to replace it. However, Mac...

Just posting because I have to tell someone and I figure y'all will appreciate: Over the past month-ish, I upgraded from a [Schitt Bifrost Uber / Asgard 2 unbalanced into a LCD 2.2F] to a [Schitt Gungnir Multibit / Mjolnir 2 balanced into a LCD-X] and I can't even handle the difference; it's...

Hi all, I have the upgrade bug and am trying to decide which component to hit. I've got Audeze LCD-2F Schiit Bifrost Uber Schiit Asgard As my headphone setup right now. I love it, but, you know. I am thinking of Audeze LCD-X Schiit Gungnir Schiit Mjolnir 2 I really only listen...

Hey all - I have been listening to, alternatingly, to Grado S325i's, AKG K701s, and Sennheiser HD650s through the headphone jack on my Marantz 2325. They all have very different sound signatures, but right now I find myself preferring the Grados. However, I know that those are the easiest to...

Hi folks, I am having trouble thinking through how to best hook up my components and was wondering if I could get some help.   I have a Rogue Tempest Tube Power Amp (with no headphone amplifier) and a Marantz 2325 Receiver / Amp (with one) that I just acquired. I want to be able to listen to...

I hope it's okay to ask a couple of questions here. I recently acquired a Rogue Tempest ii integrated amp that sounds fantastic through my AR98LS speakers on all kinds of music - jazz, indie rock, hip-hop,metal, soul, funk, the occasional classical, etc. But occasionally I need to listen through...
