    What is the best method to get digital audio from your PC to your DAC

    So, I should shortly be receiving a Holo May dac, and i'm a bit confused about some of the things that people have said about it/the spring online. Typically, I'd just connect my DAC to my PC via a decent USB cable (Just a Supra one, not super cheap, but nothing snakeoil) A lot of people have...

    Should I go with a USB cleaner or a USB to Optical?

    When I upgraded my system I didn't know that made a difference, I just got a new DAC without thinking about it. But one day I was listening to music with my laptop I felt something wasn't right, I moved to my desktop which has an optical output and It sounded better. So I googled and found...

    Advice and thoughts on the FiiO M9?

    (sorry in advance for the long thread) Hey, I've been looking at an MP3 player to replace my old iPod and give me some nicer sound quality and more functionality, and I've heard good things about the M9 - connecting to it both ways with bluetooth, plus a line out, seems really handy and...

    Have you tried something that cable manufacturers hates?

    I've tried many ways to 'purify' the usb data. Regen, Curious cable, Intona, Wireworld platium etc... Some of them worked, but heavily reduced the dynamic. (I guess high dynamic is sort of 'fluctuation' that are filtered.) Some of them just don't work at all. It bothered me a lot, until I...

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    USB backlash! That's how I'd characterize the sentiment I've heard over the past year or so from a decent number of forum dwellers. Which I find very interesting... because if we go back maybe 5 or 6 years prior, we find people were thrilled about the advent of computer audio made easy. Thanks...

    iFi SPDIF iPurifier - nasty static when no signal

    I recently decided to ditch my Mac Mini music server and replace it with an AirPort Express (802.11g) as digital source into my Audio Note system (long story), via AirPlay. Fed directly into my Audio Note DAC3 (circa 2000 vintage) via TOSlink optical cable, the AirPort Express sounds noticeably...

    Is PC Sound Card S/N ratio irrelevant, if I'm only using SPDIF/Toslink output?

    The SPDIF/Toslink connector on my PC motherboard has had the little hinged plastic cover come off, and the Toslink cable no longer fits securely. . I'm looking at various PCIe x1 Sound Cards, with SPDIF/Toslink connections, and the more expensive models have EMI Shielding, swap-able Opamps, 600Ω...

    CD Player with Digital Out

    I've been looking for a CD player with digital output, preferably SPDIF/optical. I would like to be able to play CDs, but go through the good DAC that I already own. Does something like this exist, and is it affordable?
