    Comparably sized PC speakers to replace my Edifier E25HD?

    I've had my Edifier E25HD speakers for 5 years but unfortunately the left speaker has started to distort so I guess it's time to look for a replacement. I am space starved so I can't go much bigger (which rules out bookshelf speakers) and while I could import the often recommend Klipsch Promedia...

    Super (capacitor) charging your iFi Zen Can (and other zen products and possibly other manufacturers)

    Hey Thor quick question: is the only difference between the V1 and V2 Zen Dac the 16 core XMOS chip?

    Super (capacitor) charging your iFi Zen Can (and other zen products and possibly other manufacturers)

    Hey Thor I saw a post over a Reddit where someone plugged the 15volt 500ma linear power supply that came with their Atom Dac into their Zen Dac. Amazingly it didn't instantly kill it an actually worked. Is using that power supply with the Zen Dac or Zen Can safe or even desirable? Did he just...

    The rubber is pershing on my Nighthawk Carbons. Anything else facing this?

    Hey Thor can I ask is the Zen Can's worse than average crosstalk performance a side effect of the 3D filter? I've always had a hunch that was it.

    iFi audio ZEN DAC - EISA Award Winner 'Best Value DAC 2020-21!

    On 7.4 and 7.4b any period of silence in a song (or anything else) will cause an audible pop when the music resumes. It's like the dac is putting itself to sleep on the silent bits and waking itself up for loud parts. The best test for this I have found is Stormveil Castle from the Elden Ring...

    iFi audio ZEN DAC - EISA Award Winner 'Best Value DAC 2020-21!

    The 7.4c firmware is also the only version of the 7.4 line that doesn't have audio popping problems. Of course that isn't a feature it's the absence of a bug.

    The Hardest hitting Headphones are.. ( "The EXTREME BASS Club")

    So here in the year 2023 what are the best option for getting my eyeballs vibrating? The only pair I own that can have the type of bass I'm looking for are my Modhouse Argon MK3s but getting them there requires pushing the volume way past my comfort level. I know it;s been discussed her before...

    Does the smsl Sanskrit 10th mkiii have the audio delay issue?

    Probably. It's the type of thing you only notice with lipsync and such.

    Does the smsl Sanskrit 10th mkiii have the audio delay issue?

    Just a quick question about something I haven't found from googleing. Does the smsl sanskrit 10th mkiii have the same audio delay issue as the MKII? I love the MKII for music but the random lag made it a pain for any other kind of content consumption. Does anyone know? Cheers.

    iFi ZEN DAC discussion + impression

    Just a little niggle I have noticed on my Zen Dac V2. It can't switch between UAC2 and UAC1 without being powered down. Basically I can't just unplug it from my PC then plug it into my PS5 and expect it to work, I also have to disconnect it from the mains (I'm using an ifi power supply). It's...

    I've tried both with and without PSU. It makes no difference.
