Just as the title suggests, I've been using the SMSl Sanskrit V2 with the Topping PA3S power amp. Besides RCA inputs, the PA3S also has balanced TRS inputs. Would using a balanced dac like the SMSL D-6 improve the SQ? IM quite satisfied with the sk10v2's performance. But the added Bluetooth...

Hi, I'm planning to make a stereo setup. I already have Topping PA3S and considering to get the D10balanced as it has balanced TRS outputs. The D10 balanced is USB powered. Just wanted to make sure it will run with Raspberry Pi 3B( which will work as a streamer).

Seeking assistance on this matter. Might sound like a noob question. If I use an MQA capable dap, for example the Hiby R3 Pro Which is capable of decoding 4x and connect a dac-amp which can decode MQA to 16x, will I get the fully decoded output or it will be limited to the transport's capability?

What should be an upgrade over the FiiO A5? Nowadays I see a lot of dac amps with this form factor, but most of these are equipped with a dac as well. As my intention is hooking the amp with a dac. I have read lot's of positive reviews of the Khadas Tone Board. It's successor, the Tone 2 Pro...

My current setup is cellphone - Apple USB-c to 3.5mm adapter- FiiO A5. I'm quite satisfied with the output, but the problem is the screen turns off in every 10 seconds and the music gets stopped. It's getting really annoying to robotically tap the screen in every 9 seconds to keep it awake. I'm...

I've always been a dap user. Recently I can see there are lots of dongles having the same output power, SQ and functionalities of daps, in some cases even better (for example xDuoo Link 2, E1DA 9038S/9038D, hilidac beam and atom pro)Is there anyone who has shifted from dap to dongles? What's the...

There's a Flash deal going on at Hifigo. How's the A50s as a beginner amp? Is the price good enough to order one? Here's the Link

Forgive me for my lack of knowledge, but my concept regarding this is not clear yet. As the title says, does more output power always mean better sound? Sometimes I read things like "despite having less power than x, this sounds better". What's the explanation for this?

What are the Best iems under $150? Is the Moondrop Starfield still the go-to option? I've read lots of posts related to this, the most suggested IEMs around this range seems to be the Starfield and Etymotic Er2xr. The Etys seem too "penetrating" for me. Hearing a lot of praise about Fiio FH3...
