    Windows 10: micro-glitches and dropouts?

    It seems no matter which DAC, software, drivers, or output bitrate/frequency I use, I simply can't get flawless audio from my Windows 10 PC. Don't get me wrong: my audio *generally* plays just fine, and there are no indications of serious issues. Instead, I have just enough annoying...

    Best DAC for easy switching between speakers and cans?

    So, here's my story. I'm currently rocking onboard sound (I know, I know) with a T-amp and bookshelf speakers.

    DAC in cheap receiver vs. onboard or cheap sound card

    Long story short, I'm currently running M-Audio AV-30's through my Realtek onboard audio and looking for an upgrade. I pretty much listen to music exclusively, and due to desk space and living constraints, prefer to stick with a 2.0 setup.   The way I see it, my options are either to upgrade...
