So I'm going to take the leap and get a pair of LCD-Xs.  I was wondering if you all had some suggestions on AMPs/DACs to go with them.  I was eyeing the Bifrost Asgard 2 combo but would like some other suggestions.   Fist thing, definitely looking for something solid state at this point...

What's the next best thing besides the Fiio E17/E09K combo? The E17 would be perfect but it lacks enough volume so I got the E09K to combo with it, but I don't like the round volume slider. You don't know precisely what the volume is at. E17 was perfect for this with their numbers.   What...

Has anybody compared FOSTEX HP-A8 TO Yulong da8?Especially when paired with low output impedance ones(like denon d7000 OR fostex th900?)       I am  puzzled in these two.THX.

Hi DAC warriors,  I have narrowed my choices down to these 2 DACs to try out next and have couple questions :   For those who are lucky enough to have owned both, which one would you prefer for strictly SQ? For Yulong DA8 past/current owners, any problem with build quality/operation...

Hi all,   hope this is the proper forum to post this sort of question..    I have a DA8 since today ! Very nice DAC ! I have a question concerning the volume. At -60db (volume control all the way down), I can still hear music from the speakers. Is there a way to mute the output completely...

In looking for a DAC with headphone amp in this price range, I've come across the same mentions over and over: Grace Audio m903 Mytek Stereo 192-DSD DA Benchmark DAC2 Yulong DA8 Anedio D2 Linx Hilo ExaSound e20 Antelope Zodiac Gold (there is currently a used one in this price range) Most...

I've done a fair bit of reading on google and either I am poor at searching the right terms or the info is hard to fine.  Thanks in advance for any help on this query.    I realize that I like a lot of variety in my music and Spotify has been fantastic.  I use the paid service for the 320kbps...

Folks:   I intend to do a comparison of mid-level (~$500-2500) DACs in December 2013.  I will test multiple DACs and keep the one I like the best.  Period.  Everything else gets sent away.  If I end up liking my current $200 Emotiva XDA-1 best, that's the one I'll keep and everything new gets...

Hello dear people :)   I'm researching what amps/DACs I should get and I've noticed a part where some of the highest end of AMPs have a really ridiculous SNR, while the DACs only go up and up on the SNR.   I would like to know what goes? Take an example of ALO Studio Six claims these specs: ...

Has been a while since I was shopping for DACs. LOL, just got Vega, need something more budgetary for secondary system   What is the current best buy in this range: - Linx Hilo (has AD feature that I'll probably never use, looks very good otherwise) - Yulong DA8 (seems like the best...

article from Yulong forum mentioned new top of the line DAC in the works:  Yulong: DA8 engineering sample is complete.  targeting to be better than Weiss DAC202     Info from the posts: - Technical spec of DA8 will be better than Weiss DAC 202.  And support more input specs, having more...

I am looking for compact and good  very nice sounding one box solution for office rig. Was trying out Burson Conductor which didn't work out that well due to size and mostly the sound, even liked my Glite with DPS better. Is there anything better available that doesn't take a lot of space on...

            Yulong audio has been steadily building up their portfolio. The D100 was a brilliant DAC that fared well at the time against competitors in the $1K range - but it sold for under $500. The D100 mkII took things up another notch, adding further refinement and helping the...
