Not sure I like the aesthetics. Reminds me of a 70s flip clock

Would there be any advantage connecting an Intona USB isolator (7054-X) between my laptop and this DAC or would the Intona be redundant? My laptop only has one USB-C output but have some spare USB-A ports on the dock I use with it. The Intona is USB-A. Using USB-A up until the DAC won't...

Sorry to revive a 4-year old post, but have a couple questions: Let's say you are running S/PDIF coax RCA-RCA from a computer sound card output to a DAC. How do you know that the RCA output connector on the computer and the RCA input connector on the DAC are really 75 ohms as well, despite in...

Did you try moving the scrollbar down on the RHS of the Downloads & Support page to use the Google Drive link? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1juWvGo3icP60gctx1t46luBMHA6OIpVR/view

If anyone has any more listings for solid state headphone amps with balance control but older (and cheaper) I would love to see some. P.S. Another amp with balance control is Lake People G107.

Thanks Dogmatrix and Cevisi. Looks like this will be an easy fix then.

Yeah the electrician would work but might be more expensive than a longer cord. I already have a power bar feeding 2 active speakers and DAC...I would need to have RME cord-->extension cord-->power bar with cord-->outlet if I did the extension cord thing...which would be a bit convoluted. I...

I can't. The desk/chair and speakers are place to maximize sound quality in the room so they aren't moving.

I need a DAC on my desk and the nearest outlet is about 15'-20' away. Checking out RME DACs as a possible upgrade but I don't think the cord/brick on the RME would be long enough and I don't want to use an extension cord or another power bar. Are there any replacement cords/brick that would...

Lots of postings about LEDs here. You could always invest 5 bucks into a pack of LightDims: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=LightDims&ref=sr_as_oo

Yeah, been listening to mostly speakers instead of headphones over that period (+ PortaPros for laptop), except for brief buy/sell flings with M50, D2000, K240, T50RPMK3, K550, Q701, DT990. Just got some new DT250-250 from Newegg so trying some headphones again.

Thank you dakanao.

Who is making those custom cables? Do you have a link?

Wondering if there are any IEMs with an impedance 80-250. Price range under $300. So far the only ones I've seen are very low, which would be ok for my laptop but my headphone amp on main stereo prefers something higher. Comfort and build quality a priority and they are not for critical...

For what it's worth, I ended up getting a $1.49 plastic food container with removable lid.

Looking for a hard case that stays closed by spring tension only and is hinged like a clamshell. Similar to some eyeglass cases or old electric razor cases that snap shut. Spring tension close only, no zippers. Thanks in advance if anyone has seen something like this. Just want it for a set...

Been using it for over a year now. Very impressed with this DAC. In my system, which uses a professional balanced power amplifier, I prefer it configured as a DAC rather than a PRE with my active balanced preamp driving the power amp. I haven't had the chance to test it with headphones since...

Here's a link to a short translated review: https://translate.google.ca/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.avguide.ch/testbericht/4_digitale-partnerschaften-test-vier-usb-dacs-mit-kopfhoererverstaerker&prev=search

What are the units on the x-axis in the graphs? Those graphs look a little wacko to me!

I know this probably dosen't seem very progressive but I've pretty much left it on good old Filter #3 for awhile now.

I don't own one of these but just curious what any owners have the digital gain set to and have owners found that this setting influences sound quality when listening at low volumes?

I think it might be best to Google some relevant filter words, which will yield results for other DACs, not just the Pro 2S: https://www.google.ca/search?q=linear+minimum+apodizing+ringing+filter&ie=utf-8 ...and maybe this page...

Maybe a silly question but why not use a meter hooked up to the output(s) and a test CD to measure the difference between right and left? That way you are measuring the amp, not guessing with your ears and confounding it with your headphone variations.

Are you still planning a review? Is your Matrix working okay?

Yes, thanks for your help. Looks like a nice unit.
