I upgraded from my fx audio x6 last year, and initially was a bit disappointed as the sound wasn't different tbh. More powerful louder volume but not much else initially. I've stuck with it as the extra volume is useful and I think ultimately I will move the unit to my lounge to be fed from TV...

Thanks just tested and found that out! Just plugging in the trs balanced cable on the t10 disables the xlr input from the rme, so think it's an either or choice. Can't be fiddling about behind the subwoofer so will leave it through the mixer xlr input which outputs balanced so minimal sq loss I...

I have a similar set up but with presonus temblor t10 and eris e5 monitors. I also have a small mixer for my synths all going into the t10 balanced trs inputs. I wanted to input my rme into the xlr inputs of the t10 separately, and then the rca outputs of the rme into a separate pair of desktop...

Would be good if you could describe the sound of the t1 gen3 with the rme as I am looking to buy a premium set of headphones for my rme, and like warmth soundstage and a bit of full bass along with clarity. Cheers

It wasn't my top feature, just wanted a top notch dac and headphone amp to complement my mainly studio type set up, great base from which to upgrade headphones in time, the EQ is just a nice extra and would work just as well with a living room hifi setup so very versatile and a long term keeper...

OK so had the rme adi-2 for a day and have to say it's awesome. To begin with was a little disappointed as it sounded pretty much the same as my fx6 dac which cost £68! However I have spent some more time with it and there is a clear sonic clarity that I haven't heard before. The eq section is...

OK thanks, looking forward to reviewing and comparing the options! Edit: realistically what is the highest impedance the rme can drive from the main headphone output?

Thanks, yes potentially interested in upgrading headphones but did think need decent base dac amp to run them, and the rme looks a great all rounder to build on. OK thanks for this, could you give an example of a solid headphone upgrade - I like open back especially with a warm smooth sound and...

Hi all, very tempted to buy an rme adi-2 dac but not at all certain it will improve my overall sound system as follows: Sources: amazon music via windows, cheap cd player with coax digital output. Dac/amp: fx audio fx6 Headphones: ath m50x, fidelio x2hr, blon bl03 iems Running through basic...

OK thanks for the help. Not sure it makes it any easier tbh but I think I need to add carefully and incrementally to my setup. I can justify a desktop amp dac as I don't have one and don't have digital inputs etc. I'm happy with my headphones and iem at the moment so will keep browsing and learning.

So I guess I'm using my steinberg ci1 16bit 48khz USB audio interface as the dac with the e11k (a3) as the amp. Its good and loud and I can't tell different tracks apart, so maybe it's hard to easily improve without better headphones? My initial thought was to replace both with a k5 pro so I can...

I'm not in a rush so will watch and wait, although this would work well with both my desktop and mobile listening, is a desktop amp dac necessarily any better, or is it just the digital inputs for CD player etc?

Thanks for this, can't find it anywhere in the UK to buy at present, the hidizs s8 is on amazon for £99 and includes all different adapter types for ios and android and pc. Is this worth the extra cost or is there anything else to recommend?

Hi all, I currently have the following setup and would appreciate advice on how to improve: full headphones: AT-M50X and Fidelio X2HR IEMs: soundmagic E10 Steinberg Ci1 USB interface Fiio E11K portable amp Presonus Eris E5 monitors and Temblor T10 subwoofer Huawei Mate 20X Sony NWX639F mp3...
