    Ideal output knob position for using a UMC22 as my DAC

    I have it on 12 o'clock (straight up) but I'm not sure if I should increase it a bit to like 3 o'clock or a little less. Thoughts? I'm using an Atom Amp if that makes any difference.

    Decent DAC around $100 or less?

    Looks like I might be getting this. Thanks!

    Darkvoice 336SE for HD600 or Atom Amp + HD58x?

    I use my HD600s for sound engineering, and I want something a bit more enjoyable to listen to. Theoretically, if at the moment I could either get a Darkvoice 336se (with stock tubes), or an atom amp and an HD58x (because it has a more lively sound and more bass). I'm worried the Darkvoice might...

    How much worse is it than like a $100 DAC.

    Decent DAC around $100 or less?

    If I have a Behringer UMC22 audio interface, will that be good enough until I can afford a really good DAC (assuming I connect using RCA cables from the outputs on the back and NOT use the direct monitors)?

    Decent DAC around $100 or less?

    Most DACs are like really expensive, but I don't really care if I'm not getting 100% quality. 90% is good enough for me, so is there a cheap DAC I can get? Honestly, the cheaper the better because I'm just putting together a temporary setup then eventually I'll get a super high end one.

    Best headphone amp for HD600 under $80

    My eyes are on the Bravo Ocean Mini Valve amp, but I have no idea what would be ideal for alternative rock and I guess more atmospheric music. I want something that can help me get lost in my music and fill the air with soundscape. Any suggestions? I already have more neutral amps, so I'm...

    Fiio A3 good for music & gaming?

    I just need something decent enough to listen to music with my HD600s anywhere I go. The Galaxy S9 can drive it decently, but I still want a better musical experience. I listen to progressive rock, post-hardcore, grunge etc. My sound card is the Realtek ALC3246 if that's needed. If there's a...
