    A few questions about dac/amp, Shiit, linux knowledge appreciated but not necessary.

    I have had Shiit Fulla for about a year. I was very happy with it. It basically was my main DAC(and amp for my Senheiser open cans) for Windows work related laptop/Linux desktop. It's mic input started to fail. I am no friend of DYI. I am thinking to give Shiit second chance. Should I? USB...

    My GSX1200 and PC38X together need a little more volume

    Maybe the computer audio forum is where this goes since it's primarily about that but... well lemme explain. I've got the Sennheiser PC38X for use on my PC. They're known to be not very difficult to drive, but I wanted at least a little more juice than my motherboard could produce. I ended up...

    USB-B to USB-C short cable?

    I'm looking for a 40cm USB-B -> USB-C to connect my DAC with my laptop. Does anyone provide this kind of cables? I've found AudioQuest only https://www.audioquest.com/cables/digital-cables/usb-b-to-usb-c but they're too long for me.

    I am trying to locate an “IIS” cable and don’t seem to be able to find one?

    I am considering adding a digital interface to my audio chain (between my PC USB out to my DAC). I am trying to locate an “IIS” cable and don’t seem to be able to find one? What am I not understanding? Thank you for your patience in dealing with this basic question.

    Is EMI/RF interference really a thing?

    Audiphile cable and power conditioner makers often market that their products help reject EMI and RF interference. Is it really something we need to worry about for audio? Aside from audio, I'm also wondering about any health affects from EMF from say a small in-wall breaker box in the same...

    What do you guys think of this supposedly USB AMP DAC?

    Hi y'all! I'm wondering, what do you make of this USB AMP DAC? I'll add the link to it below. It's $40 approximately ($6.500 argentine pesos). Would it be somewhat similar to a Fiio E10k for example? I mean, like a cheap but acceptable replacement? Would you recommend it? I own a pair of Samson...

    Soundblaster G6 USB vs. Optical Input

    Hi all, So Ive been playing around with the G6. It sounds a lot better hooked into my 2020 Dell XPS 15 thru USB then it does hooked directly into my TV using an Optical out. Is there any way to use, for example, the eARC HDMI return channel to go to the G6? For example an HDMI to USB converter?
