    iFi iDSD nano Black Label 3.5mm balanced to amp with 2x XLR-3

    So I've ordered the iFi iDSD nano Black label for my new setup. And my old amp only accepts 2x XLR-3 ports as balanced input. Also if I'm not mistaken, the iFi iDSD nano BL will sound best with a 3.5mm TRRS jack. But I haven't seen 3.5mm TRRS to 2x XLR-3 anywhere. All I saw was only 3.5mm TRS...

    Best 3.5mm converter

    Do I need a preamp for my XLR dynamic microphone?

    UPDATE: Solved the problem! Ignore! Can't find where the delete thread button is. Got the AKG D5 mic the other day, and as an XLR noob, have only been met with problems. First it wasn't producing any sound at all - then I got a phantom power device even though it's a dynamic just to see. And...

While I'm planning to resolder a couple of...

    Hello. I have a pair of HD800's and had a problem a faulty 1/4" plug. Even though they were slightly past the warranty period, Sennheiser showed off stellar customer support by sending me a brand new cable. I asked where to ship the faulty cable back and they said I didn't have to. So...

    Is the Audiolab m-dac still relevant in 2017?

    It has the ESS9018 chip, a class A amp and XLR outs. It has won many awards as well. However, this unit is from 2010. Does it have competitors that nowadays outperform it (within the Audiolab m-dac price range)?
