    Cant control volume from keyboard - USB DAC Schiit Modi 2

    Hi - sorry about the delay in replying. I prefer the size of the Fulla 2 over the Sys i.e. its smaller all in all and has a bigger volume control part. I dont mind the USB connection to the power, I am going to stick it on my desktop anyway so happy to have a dedicated power supply. Has anyone...

    Cant control volume from keyboard - USB DAC Schiit Modi 2

    Thanks. I was actually thinking of getting the Fulla 2. I know its a DAC/Amp combo however can you please advice if this setup would work: iMac --> Usb cable --> Modi 2 Uber --> RCA L & R cables into Analog input of Fulla 2 --> Pre-out of Fulla 2 --> 1/8th to RCA L & R cables --> JBL 305s...

    Cant control volume from keyboard - USB DAC Schiit Modi 2

    You are right about the Modi 2 (I've got the Uber) not having volume controls. They sell the Magni 2 amp as a stack with it which does have a little volume knob. My JBL 305s do have volume knobs, but they are at the back! and I dont want to control the volume of each speaker individually. I...

    Cant control volume from keyboard - USB DAC Schiit Modi 2

    Hi guys - this one is driving me nuts. I cannot control the volume of my Schiit Modi 2 DAC going into JBL 305s from the keyboard volume controls on my iMac running OSX Sierra.

    Need help on DACs, Amps, Combos, Wireless receivers for brand new LSR305s

    Hello mate - I basically went for this => JBL 305s, Modi 2 Uber, Adam Hall pads, RCA to XLR cables & that's it! The only thing I now realised is that you do need a subwoofer to go with the 305s, if you love your bass. They sound awesome etc.    In terms of DAC + Amp combo, based on all the...

    Wireless headphones with deep bass & some thumping bass - ~$400 / £350

    Hi guys - Can anyone recommend wireless headphones which are good for bass?    I have "tested" the following but need something better sounding than these. I am not an audophile or anything hence here are my basic observations.   - Bose QC35s - Didnt feel any "mid/deep" bass at all, just...

    Parrot Zik 3 earpads very uncomfortable

    Hello all - I have recently bought the Parrot Zik 3.0 headphones & love the sound however the earpads are get pretty uncomfortable for my ears after 30mins. I find the Bose QC35 earpads better (although not perfect) so I think its a size issue. My ears feel "crammed" in the Zik 3 earpads. I have...

    Connect Schiit Modi 2 Uber to JBL LSR305s

    btw, these look like these are TS cables rather than TRS -- I might be wrong however I thought "mono" = TS vs. stereo = TRS? so do I need RCA unbalanced to TRS?   Also, is there no point getting "gold" plated cables?   Cheers

    Newbie - first DAC for JBL LSR305s - Budget £200 / $230

    Cheerio :) ! p.s. I found 2 forums in the UK for audiophiles - http://www.avsforum.com/ VS https://www.avforums.com   Any idea which one is the "real audiophile" forum for the UK guys?! I wanted to check it out to get local recommendations as I keep getting tempted to by US brands ... Emotiva...

    Connect Schiit Modi 2 Uber to JBL LSR305s

    Thanks @PurpleAngel ! (again ;) ... I didnt realise the 305s also had unbalanced inputs. Would it be the same jacks (XLR, TRS) that have "Balanced input" written at the top? In any case / btw, is XLR any better than TRS or are they really the same in terms of SQ?

    Connect Schiit Modi 2 Uber to JBL LSR305s

    Hi guys - basic question - How do I connect my Schiit Modi 2 Uber to JBL LSR305s to get the best sound quality? The 305s take "Balanced inputs" for TRS and XLR I think. My DAC only has 2 RCA outs - "R and L". What is the best way to connect the 2 speakers and to preserve sound quality? I dont...
