How to config Audio MIDI Setup for Tidal
I'm trying to configure my Audio MIDI setting on my MacBook Pro to the correct quality output. (Note, I didn't even realize you needed to do this until today ?!?!). I'm streaming FLAC from Amazon Music HD and MQA from Tidal. By default it was set to 2 ch 24-bit 48.0 kHz... I got a new DAC that...- reznik6044

point of diminishing returns - end game?
Fully acknowledge that this is a hobby and a large percentage of the enjoyment comes from tinkering and upgrading... so I'm not sure there really is an "end game" with that said... I'm wondering where everyone's point of diminishing returns is? There is no doubt that moving up from...- reznik6044

Schiit Modius discussion - $199 balanced AK4493 DAC
Very cool. Can't wait! To clarify, my DAC is always on (as my laptop is rarely turned off). Does it actually need to have music playing or is being connected enough? I should have my new amp by Oct 1st - So I expect to have a lot of real 'ears-on' listening either way.- reznik6044

Schiit Modius discussion - $199 balanced AK4493 DAC
Just got my Modius yesterday. I've been running a Modi 3+ as my first DAC and finally upgraded. My balanced cables aren't coming until next week, so running RCA and SE for now... but OMG, I did not expect to hear such a difference?!?! A lot of people on the forums say a DAC won't make an...- reznik6044

Amp Recommendations for Focal Clear
Where I live, I don't know any place to listen to any headphone gear. Everything in my entire stack (DAC, AMP, Headphones) has been entirely blind buy... that's why I have 5 headphones, 2xAMP and 3xDACs. But I don't mind too much, I like mixing and matching and trying different things out. I can...- reznik6044

Amp Recommendations for Focal Clear
I agree with your sentiment, so along those lines, I'm looking to try a 'warmer' amp. I have different setups with different headphones. I love the THX with my HD6XX and Sundara's. But I would like to hear what they sound like with a warmer amp as well... so i'd love to hear other's perspectives...- reznik6044

Amp Recommendations for Focal Clear
Sorry if this has already been asked/answered. But I'm really struggling with what to do here... I've got a new pair of Focal Clear on order and should be here in October. I currently have a Schiit Modius DAC and a THX 789 Amp. I've been reading that the 789 doesn't pair well with the Clear due...- reznik6044

Topping DX7 Pro vs. D30 Pro
Hello All, I realize that the DX7 is both a DAC and AMP vs. the D30 Pro is just a DAC. The reason for this thread is as follows: I have a good AMP (THX AAA 789). I'm looking for a Balanced DAC to replace my Shiit Modi. I love the fact that the DX7 can double as an AMP and is already balanced -...- reznik6044

New at Drop: Sennheiser HD 8XX
So here’s the $1200 question… now that we know they tweaked the tuning, is this still the headphone to get when a Focal Clear can be had for $1000?!?! I was excited to get a “lower cost” HD800/S - now that they changed the tuning, I’m second guessing if I should cancel and go for the Focals…- reznik6044

OMG Love my AAA 789
I'm still relatively new to this hobby. I started with a Schiit Stack with Modi/Magni 3. This was my first setup and using with Tidal from my Macbook Pro as the source. The Magni was getting the job done, not complaining... but I got my HD6XX and have the HD8XX on order. So I wanted to get...- reznik6044

New at Drop: Sennheiser HD 8XX
I'm a noob but I've recently (past several months) purchased a few items from Drop and have been very pleased with them. They all shipped before the estimated delivery date and arrived nicely packaged, that was a nice surprise. I'm very excited about these HD 8XX and already placed my order. I...- reznik6044

Rank the Headphones that You Own.
