Comparison: Meridian Explorer vs HRT Microstreamer
Anyone of you guys have both of these and can give a side by side comparison in terms of SQ? And does the Explorer have an internal amp? Because the HRT has one. And if not, does it need one? And what kind of cans can it power directly? (The Explorer) All of your response will be appreciated...- ScarboroughFair

DAC/amps with independent headphone and analog output levels?
I'm trying to come up with a list of DAC/amp combination units which allow headphone volume to be controlled independently from the analog output level. It's fine if the analog output level is fixed (at the usual 2V unbalanced, 4V balanced). I want to connect dynamic headphones to this unit, and...- gepardcv

Is there such a thing as a box that reads digital music files and sends them to a DAC yet isn't a traditional computer?
I have a headphone setup that has been working well for me. It's fed by a Mac with iTunes+BitPerfect outputting to a HRT MSII+ DAC. The problem is the Mac is now an ex computer. It was apparently pining for the fjords and now its metabolic processes are of interest only to historians. Anyway...- williaty
