Hello! I'm hoping someone can help me with my question. I have a USB powered DAC with a built-in amplifier - model Signstek HIFI USB. This DAC has a PCM2704 chip (great sound BTW!) and according to its datasheet, the output power is 12mW with 32ohm load - also 1.8Vpp with 10k load. I'm assuming...

I am trying to pick out the DAC that's good for me I'm hoping this even exists but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction because I am fairly new to the whole audio world so. What I have in mind is some sort of all in one unit that has RCA ports in and out XLR ports in and out...

Hello, i am looking for the portable audio solution for my Oneplus 3 and Galaxy tab s2. Ultrasone Naos looks to be very promising solely because of its versatility. And after reading reviews about Hiby R3, i am very much tempted to buy it. 1. As per the specs and reviews, we can use R3 as...

Hi guys, I'm about to invest in a new motherboard for my PC (new build) and on the specific board (Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Master) I'm surprisingly discovering a new feature ! A USB 3.0 DAC-UP port ! (yellow ones) I do not find a lot information on it, actually almost nothing, I’m supposing this...

An Android phone (type C) + HRT II DAC (type B): power drain and maybe a dirty power source issue? Dear all, I read through many threads and haven't got a solution. I am using an otg cable and see a huge power drain from the phone; plus maybe the phone is not the best power source for my DAC...

Hi guys, Sorry I started this treat, but nobody answered, in meanwhile I found my needs, so I'm erasing this one as it is no relevant for nobody. Thanks !!!

Hey I have a modi/magni setup. Due to the way my room is setup it requires me to either have a 10ft long USB cable or RCA. I know it's not the best setup but I don't have a choice. Option 1: Dac hooked up directly to computer and run a 10ft RCA cable to my amp Option 2: 10ft USB 2.0 Cable...

Hi Guys, I already possess a AMB Gamma 1 and an Objective 2 with ODAC. I wanted to know if there is something new and better for approx $200-300 ? My goal is to connect it to an Atoll IN100SE (big 100W amp) and then to Linn Sara Speakers. BTW, if you have something already built that you...

Hello everyone today i got the thought about trying to connect my Focusrite with my Nintendo switch, i have a monitor im using with my switch and it has speakers but damn they are bad, i wanted to see if i could connect my focusrite on one of the USB ports on the Nintendo dock, but i couldn't...

Is the sound going to be so much better if I spend more? I was happy with my NI Audio Kontrol 1, to be honest the sound on this was so crystal clear, im not sure what it is made off. Unfortunately the cheap built made the headphone start making crackle noises. Now im wondering if something...

Apologies for the basic question, i couldn't find the answers online. When I use optical out on my iMac, I can't change the volume on the computer. When I use USB audio out I can. I thought that with a digital out (i.e. hasn't been converted to analogue) you can't ever change the volume, as...

Hi Which USB port on my laptop (Asus netbook) to plug my DAC (HifimeDIY) in order to minimize electromagnetic noise? Currently I am using the only USB 3.0 port because I think it is not shared with any other device (there are 3 other usb 2.0 ports). Is this assumption correct? How do I know...

The current desktop system consists of Dell laptop USB out > Schiit Wyr > Audio-gd R2R-11 I also have JBL 305s connected to the pre-out. I want to add a Jotunheim w/ multibit to the mix. Other than manually swapping the USB between the amp's digital inputs and setting Windows audio to use that...

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...

Hi guys. My question is quite straight forward. I am running either a 16' run of USB out of Thinkpad, followed by an W4S Recovery into the DAC vs 3' USB into an Bryston DDC following a 20' AES/EBU cable into the DAC. I've had it set up both ways. Should either one be superior to the other? I...

So, I am looking to maybe get a new amp to pair with my Sennheiser HD800 with the SuperDupont mod. I now own an iFi Micro iDSD and that's the only DAC/amp where I've heard the 800s off. I'm interested in getting maybe more out of the HD800's. I'd like to get some recommendations on nice pairings...

Hi,I Will be fast, I tried to use my microstreamer dac/amp with ps4 pro, it is recognized but as like other dacs seems that the ps4 pro treat them as headphones and limits the output voltage so I get very low volume ,I'm thinking in using a powered usb hub to solve this but idk if this will...

Hey folks, I may soon have access to a Burson Play. I was wondering if any Head-Fi'ers in the Riverside area of CA would want to meet up with me and test it out for a couple hours? To be clear, this is a physical meetup opportunity, I won't be shipping the Play anywhere (since this is all on...

Hey, I own an LKS Audio MH-DA004 DAC with a USB board that needs its firmware updated, but I'm too scared to open up the case and perform the update to the Amanero USB firmware myself. Also, I own a MacBook Pro and the firmware update must be done from a Linux or Windows PC. Is there anyone in...

So I currently am running a Laptop > AudioQuest Jitterbug > AudioQuest Forest USB > Topping D30 > Audioquest Forest RCA > Topping A30 > Headphones it sounds good, but i honestly want to run my setup through SPDIF instead of USB for now on. No good reason really! Maybe just an excuse to spend...

Hi, everyone! I've been looking for a decent USB-DAC that could be enough for an average music lover like me. You could hardly call me an audiophile because my experience with Hi-Fi hasn't been anything but brief and ordinary: - my parents' entry-level vinyl system (which did give me lots of...

So I am trying to make a DAC+Amp combo using the PCM5120A and TPA6120 but the problem is I can't seem to find any usb to i2s chips to connect the dac to the pc.I have ordered the TPA6120 but still waiting to to buy the PCM5102A till a find a usb to i2s boards.Do you guys know of any boards(not a...
