    Powering Dangles independently

    I’m relatively new to these forums, and am not sure that this hasn’t been discussed before, but I recently stumbled upon a simple and inexpensive tweak that can vastly improve the sound of remote DAC/Amp like the Lotoo PAW S2 that I use with my iPhone to stream Qobuz. I used an inexpensive...

    The Hidizs S9 Pro Red Copper Limited Edition is a very powerful, linear, and good sounding portable headphone DAC & amp that features single-ended and balanced circuits. It is technically and sonically identical to the S9 Pro however heavier. The differences are strictly cosmetic.

    Because I am getting a demo unit of the Violectric V380 to try out soon, kindly offered on loan to me by Dune Blue, the EU distributor for Violectric, I thought it would be interesting to start a dedicate thread. From what I have seen so far it looks like the V380 is a less feature rich...

    Best DAC/AMP for two Fidelio X2HR's connected at the same time via splitter?

    I have two Fidelio X2HR's connected to a computer via a splitter (3.5mm), but even at 100% volume, is too quiet; even with only one X2HR connected. Only having one connected, makes it a bit louder (about 5-8% louder), but still too low. Tried with 3 other desktop pc's too. So I need an amp or...

    DAC/AMP for Audio-Technica M40x

    Two weeks ago i bought my first 'closed' headphones Audio-Technica M40x (for 120$ in my country). By that time I already had iBasso DC02 and pair of in-ear headphones TRN V90. And my new M40x very disappointed me. I was hoping to get wide soundstage and more 'deep' sound, but my TRN v90 (~35$)...

    Replacing Ayre CODEX -- Any recently introduced DAC/amps impressing you?

    A few years back, at least one reviewer favorably compared the Ayre CODEX DAC/amp to other makes running upwards of $5,000 (and, the dealer claimed he unit also bested Ayre's higher priced models). I paired the unit with some Cardas A8 ear speakers in balanced mode and experienced a seriously...

    Do combo amp dacs provide a better value than 2 discrete units?

    Do I get more bang for my buck by buying an amp dac combo instead. For example instead of getting a $100 amp and a $100 dac would I get better sound quality by spending $200 on a combo (for example an audioengine d1). Also if you do get more bang for your buck combo recommendations under $250...

    Best dac/amp combo under $250

    My original plan was to drop $100 on an amp now and then later once got more money I would drop another $100 on a dac. I was talking to an audiophile friend who was saying that I shouldn't completely discount dac/amp combos because they do have some benefits (less opportunities for noise...

    Portable balanced DAC/AMP with AES/Ebu input?

    With the incoming new xDuoo X10T MKII digital transport I'm looking for a balanced DAC/Amp with AES/Ebu input to pair with the transport unit. AES not being a common feature on portable devices, any help and recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you!
