Correct, the Google Home does not have any digital out [maybe internally, I haven't torn it down]. What I was trying to convey, is that the Google Home can be used to control other Google Chromecast devices that ARE connected digitally. Such as any Chromecast variant, [Audio, normal, HD] , any...

Does anyone offer a right angle on the 1/4" end for an HD800 cable?

Yep, my sentiments exactly.   I am now jumping the amazon ship and looking at google home.   It can control a chromecast, or any android device... and they have digital outs. whether they are spdif or hdmi.

Hey guys, I'm doing some research here and can't find a reliable number for the lifespan/duty cycle for 1/4 inch (6.35mm) jacks?   Somewhat curiosity, somewhat to fuel my neuroticism over whether it is safe to unplug my headphones a few times a day. I'm probably crazy, I know. But still I'd...

I've had and LOVE the shure SE215 (in fact the entire SExx5 series) - but I've lost a few SE215 to sweat and water damage. The mmcx connectors between the detachable cables and the earbud itself corrodes and eventually fails. I was wondering whether anyone had tried putting dielectric grease in...

Not a dedicated source thread to be sure, so I figured I'd try this here... I have an SACD player but I'd like to have another. If I could hit a few birds with one stone it'd be nice with the forthcoming xbox one s [games that I don't have time for, 4k movies ditto, but music I make time for...

Hi guys -    I recently moved and am trying to setup my stereo speakers again. I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out which compromises to make positioning these speakers...   I have a room, 10' x 9' My desk being on the 10' wall, and it is 4' wide by 2' deep. I have a 2' x 2'...

Searched to see if anybody has tried using the Dot as any decent audio source. I can only imagine it is quite low quality but a man can dream... The voice commands are nice on the original Echo and the speaker is better than say... The one on my cellphone... But that isn't saying much for...

Awesome! Yep, just came up, so perfect... https://www.massdrop.com/buy/grace-design-m920

While, I sort of doubt it, is there any chance that the computer that is connected to the m920 (or m9xx for that matter) is able to control the volume via the USB connection?

m9xx Is now on massdrop!   Is it truly the same quality as the m920? Just minus some of the inputs?

@urbino -> I'd be VERY interested to hear your findings on the HA-1 vs. the m920, because that is exactly what I am considering. Please let me know when it arrives!

Ya, they must have sold out early, By 10am PST they were gone. I missed it! I was home at 4am last night and they were only at 14!

I read through the docs and didn't see it, are there are vertical clearance requirements for heat or if the sides are clear am I ok?

I've been looking for a new DAC and Headphone amp for a very long time now.   I had been looking at the Oppo HA-1 but a number of people recommended against it, especially as a driver of the HD800   I've been reading up quite a bit on the m920 and it looks like a very solid combination unit...
