Personal review coming soon.
Personal review coming soon.
I am really interested in the groove and I was wondering how it compares to the following in terms of sound quality?
- Oppo HA2
- iBasso D14
- Headstage Arrow 5TX
- Leckerton Audio 6S MKII
Thanks in advance! @HiFiGuy528 I would love it if you could chime in, if you have any of these gear to compare with? I am just trying to see if the groove is giving me the best performance for the money.

I've been using the Apogee Groove for a little over a week now and wanted to point an annoyance. It seems to have a problem making a stable connection when showing up on my system output preferences. I'm on a Macbook Pro Retina with an ethernet cable plugged into the other usb power via a mac usb adapter. In order to make a stable connection I unplug my ethernet first, plug in my groove, then my ethernet. Has anyone else have to unplug other devices first? Maybe I need a usb power hub?
Interesting! I have been using it only via playback software, which always takes exclusive rights over the DAC never letting any of the Mac background sounds play through. I'll have to try direct audio, such as for Tidal and YouTube in Chrome for music playback. I do not, however, have an Ethernet cable plugged into my MacBook. So I will not be testing other devices plugged in.
Before the software takes exclusive rights to your DAC, it must first show up in your system preferences sound output and in your midi controller right? That's the issue I'm having. I contacted Apogee and the conversation ended with them suggesting the groove I have might be slightly defected as I should not be having this issue. I'm in the process of exchanging this one now for a new one. (I hope it gets here before my new headphones do)
