Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming
Anyone get Atmos 3D audio working on an Nvidia Shield from the Amazon HD Music Android TV app? Atmos albums trigger Atmos on my Denon receiver from the Tidal on Android TV app, but only getting Stereo from Amazon Music HD.- Eric M

iFi Audio IPurifier3.0
Anyone using a Topping DX7 Pro with an iFi iPurifier3 USB Filter and know if it fits directly in the back of it? The filter is really chunky around the port so it could be blocked by the coax port, unless someone can confirm? I'm gonna guess no since the clearance is already very minimal even...- Eric M

Comply Foam Tips
I recommend Dekoni tips instead. Comply tips fall apart rather quick. I would only get around 2-3 months of use out of each pair before they completely disintegrated. Switched to Dekoni recently and after 2 months no major signs of wear or tear. -
Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide
Yep, I was aware tube amps cause distortion, but I wasn't sure how it would manifest itself until finally trying it. I kept hearing about this "warmer" sound (vs cold and clean modern DAC/amps), but if this distortion is "gritier" sounding to me, then maybe tubes aren't for me.- Eric M

Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide
I'm new to tube amps and my introduction is a Little Dot MK3 that came with Voskhod Rocket 6J1P-EV driver tubes and the stock power tubes. My first impressions of this new tube sound is that it sounds... gritier? Dirtier? Not as clean as my Topping amp. A bit courser / rougher feel. Would any...- Eric M

No fancy USB or ethernet cable will ever pass a blind A/B test. The absolute worst type of audiophoolery praying on the gullible and misinformed with deep pockets.- Eric M

Topping D90
Oh well no wonder 4.82 caused my DX7 to stop working completely in Windows 10 v2004. Reverting to the Microsoft drivers restored functionality.- Eric M

What is the best method to get digital audio from your PC to your DAC
Hmm, well I've only ever used my headphones with gaming PCs, so I might have been living behind that tainted window you mention. I've used good quality soundcards or DACs like Xonars, Audio-gd or Topping with them though. I can hook up my Topping D7X Pro to my Oppo UDP-203's optical or coax...- Eric M

What is the best method to get digital audio from your PC to your DAC
If I'm not playing anything in Windows and I crank the volume on my amp to the max, and don't hear any audible noise, that means I don't have noise issues right? If I play some music I do hear some noise during the very quiet parts but I assume that's part of the recording. The very high quality...- Eric M

Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming
I suspect the same. The Amazon app isn't doing WASAPI afaik, so if your current Windows output sample rate doesn't match the track's sample rate, Windows is going to resample it, even in exclusive mode, to the best of my knowledge.- Eric M

Topping A90
Do we think Topping will release a THX amp? Like a A80 or A95. I'd like another Topping chassis to compliment my D7X Pro- Eric M

Is USB-C going to allow more DAC/Amps to be powered solely by a single USB connection?
No thoughts on this? Would think some other neatfreaks would be interested in less cables on their desk.- Eric M

Is USB-C going to allow more DAC/Amps to be powered solely by a single USB connection?
I've heard UBC-C allows more wattage to be delivered to devices, does that mean when USB-C based DACs or combos start to come out, they will be less likely to require a separate dedicated power connection? I'm always looking for ways to streamline my desk's cable management!- Eric M

Schiit Gaming Dac/Amps 'Hel', 'Hel 2', and 'Fulla 3' Thread
Do any other DAC/Amp combos besides the Hel and Fulla have convenient microphone ins on the front? The only other one I could find was the Mayflower ARC MK2. I'm glad this is becoming a trend, I like to be able to completely disable my motherboard's integrated sound card in the BIOS have one...- Eric M

The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread
I'm looking to add some 2.0 speakers to my Xonar STX for occasional non-headphone use. I want minimal wiring from a cosmetic point of view. I don't have a receiver or external amp. What are my options? I'd like to keep everything around 250 ± 50. It's mostly for entertaining guests, I'm not...- Eric M
