Although this thread is a bit old already, concerning latency my very own experience using the Steinberg UR22 was that ASIO had less "rare dropouts". I mean when it crackles only every now and then while it is actually running stable for most of the time. And with ASIO I was able to get 64...

Hi, when you buy a DAC that has no volume knob in it, for example a Dragonfly Cobalt, then you connect it to your PC and set the voume to 10%, now you plug it off, go to your laptop and use it there... what's the volume then? Is the value stored inside the Dragonfly? I'm just asking to get a...

Hi, I'm still looking for the right notebook to buy. Do you know how good or bad the headphone output is in a Thinkpad E490, T490s or X1 Carbon G7? Not many people write about it, I found only threads about problems like "mine doesn't work" or similar. And I believe there is quite some...

I should have asked their support at first. I don't know why I didn't do that. Anyway they say they never heard of it. I assume, my D3 has just some rare defect. Well, that's it. Per se and per design it's really a good device. Issue resolved.

Hi, do you know this bug? The D3 sets its volume to 100% when the notebook wakes up from hibernating, or when the notebook has restarted. The volume control in Windows does not show 100% but 4% (as I have set it before). But that's not the volume I will get. In consequence, I have now in a few...

I have ordered a D3 now, too. Headfi users seem to say it is dark or warm, so it can't be worse than the Mac. I've just side by side compared the Mac to the noname Trekstor laptop. The Trekstor wins easily, but has some noise floor. It's not the first time I hear that together with wider bass...

It's only the bass that is low in volume. The overall sound is very loud, and I need to put the volume slider to something like 10%. I wonder if there could be a headphone that is like made for the DAC built into the in the Mac. Beats maybe? The overly strong bass that some of these have could...

Hi, new member here, in January I bought a Sennheiser Momentum 2 and a cheap notebook ($200). The notebook headphone output has hiss, sometimes fails, but it has actually excellent sound with the Momentum. Lot of dynamic bass, overall very pleasant sound. Now, I wanted to get rid of the hiss a...
