    Do I need an Amp/DAC? And if so which is a good cheap one?

    Hey, so I'm wondering if I need a DAC/Amp for my set up. Right now I alternate between my Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilees, Hifiman HE-35X and Focal Listens (and sometimes my ATH-M50xBTs). I primarily listen to music (wired) on my desktop, which uses a Z490I AORUS ULTRA motherboard...

    Good dac to buy for less than 400 euros ?

    Hi all! I am looking for a nice dac to buy for my computer setup. I would prefer a pure dac and not a combo with a headphone amp. I don't mind if it's discontinued or not as long as it's not incredibly rare or hard to find. Thanks in advance for the help and a happy 2021!

    Recommendation for AMP (and DAC?) for Beyer DT990 Pro (250 ohm) and DT770 (80 ohm) ?

    I've had beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (80 ohm) for a long time but I wanted to try an open-back so I also purchased DT990 Pro (250 ohm). I really like the DT990 and I think I might prefer open-back, but the high-pitch treble is a bit noticeable. Still, I got a great deal on the limited edition...

    Hey all, I just got myself a Dragonfly Cobalt to use with PC/laptop and my Android phone. Regarding the latter, I found good information hard to find, but as far as I can tell any USB DAC on Android will have the problem of Android upsampling 44.1kHz files (i.e. all mp3 files in general) to...

    GRADO sr325e + integrated amp: DAC or not?

    Hello, I'm finally the owner of a pair of GRADO sr325e, which I use to drive with my PC, connected to an old Harman/Kardon HK6300. I'm generally happy with the sound, but I'm wondering whether I should buy an external DAC (like a Schiit Modi or iFi ZEN) to gain more detail. I'm not quite sure...

    Alternative to the SBX's software?

    The main reason I'm troubled between the X7 and other AMP/DAC is that it has an unique software(SBX commander) that gives optimized audio for a variety of games(PUBG, Scout Mode, Overwatch, APEX... etc.). Is there a way to do the same while using other AMP/DAC products?
