I'm currently running a Bifrost2 MB as a main dac but I need to pick up a second option for my other system. I have a couple multibit options on the used market here... an OG Bifrost and the Modi2. Optical would be the main source. I really would not like to spend the same cash on this one as...

Seems like circumstances changed again... a new move and some new gear last month puts me in a position of needing a different dac. Gone is my Havana... it was too much of a good thing with the McIntosh gear I acquired. I stream everything from a CCA so optical is all I use. These are MUST NOT...

I'm in the market for a dac... it's been along time!! First and foremost I don't care about the last word in detail... I can't hear above 10k anyway!! I want something musical and pleasing.... non-fatiguing... darker sounding... euphoric... depth... tonality is extremely important and so is...

I have 35 years of audio experience under my belt but this is the first time I'm trying iem's... through some reading here I picked up a pair of OH1's and BL-03's... Plus - Ikko's stage front sound... midcentric I think you call it... really like that... up front without the treble shrill...

...something that is fairly neutral but more likely a tad mid forward...transparency is the key for low volume listening...black background... Is there something planar that would work?? Only asking because I've owned Magnepan's before and they were wonderful at lower volumes!! Thanks!!

Along with Grado's I own a set on AKG K240 Studio 55ohm that I rather enjoy with their upfront presentation... up close and personal as to how I describe them. I just bought a set of Fostex T50RP MKII's for giggles...they have the Alpha Dog pads... vmoda cable.. and the Mayflower mods done to...

As the title implies I'm looking for a small form factor amp that would include a usb dac and a headphone section...I don't need huge power output...class D is totally fine... Dac I would like to be AK or Sabre base... tired of BB stuff :) Headphones I will be using are Grado 60's...AKG 240...

Greetings!!!   So, I received my Little Dot MK III yesterday and this thing has a super high giggle factor LOL!!! Awesome unit!!!   It also came with a few tubes as well including a set of Mullard 8161 and GE 6AK5's...both sound excellent with my Maggies!!!   But here's the...

So...after spending most of yesterday reading I've only come up with three options for what I am looking for...which is:   - dac with a sound that is close to NOS - includes a headphone amp - includes an RCA output so as to connect to my integrated - the ability for that output to be...

Morning!! I emailed them on the weekend wanting a bit of info but still no reply so maybe someone here can help...what op-amps ship with this dac?? What kind of transformer is used...basically is it quiet?? From what I heard the noise on the headphone side has been removed...can anyone...

I have come to the conclusion that I am in no way ahead of the game in purchasing a DAC. I was looking at a: DAC-AH Beresford Zhaolu 2.5a What I am really looking for is something that is extremely musical and I really don't give a rat's ***** if it's perfectly accurate. I want something...

K...gots me an Auzentech X-plosion running coax to my Pioneer Elite receiver...I want to throw a DAC in the loop to improve my sound. I am assuming this will help cause the Elite is about 8 years old already and its getting dated. So if my assumption is correct, where do I start to look in...

I would very much appreciate some input on the best way to accomplish this: I would like to "connect" my computer to my home stereo...isn't everyone Distance is about 20-25ft from office to living room. I have an Auzentech X-plosion with an LM4562 in place of the standard issue for the...
