Thanks for your reply 🙏🏻 Yes I’m using USB input tho since all my files are from PC (CD ripped, FLAC, Tidal, Spotify). What do you use or suggest other then USB input? For local files and streaming. I will look up for your recommendations.

My audio system: PC -> USB out -> Fiio K5 Pro -> (1) RCA out -> Edifier S1000db (2) Amp out -> Sennheiser Momentum 1.0 (2013) I’m thinking of upgrade: 1. DAC/AMP to Topping D90SE & A90 stack 2. Headphone to HD600 / HD800s / Hifiman Arya 3. Speakers to Yamaha HS8 and HS8s (subwoofer) Will I get...

S= Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen F= Fiio K5 Pro Source -> DAC(S) -> DAC/AMP(F) -> Output 1. With this kind of setup, the system will use S’s DAC driver and use F’s AMP chip? Or it just use S’s DAC driver and only use F’s volume control skipping any chip inside F unit? 2. Should I just use F as DAC/AMP...

I’m using the Fiio as amp for speakers and/or headphones.

Thanks again Gray, you’re always here to help! 👍🏻

Hi guys today is my second day in this community and this is my 3rd post already 😂 I just have some questions that I can’t really found in google. Is there any focusrite scarlett 2i2 3rd gen user here who have compared this product with other product which is pricier abit for the DAC. I used...

Okay so from the examples above, these are unbalanced connection. But both ways can work, right? Will it affect the audio quality in any way?

If I have the first cable, is it the same if I just plug the 1/4” TRS to the right channel?

From the image above which one should I use to connect from these 2 type of connectors? 1xTRS 1/4” to 2xRCA If use this method, is it plug on the right channel of the focusrite? 2xTS 1/4” to 2xRCA From the connection above, is there any difference like which one is better or are they the...

Thanks for your insight sir, this help me made up my mind. I will not upgrade those cabling for now as it all sound pretty good. And I bet even with those upgrade, there will be very minor to no improvement since all my equipments are side to side so the native RCA cable connection should be okay! 😊

Hahaha what do you think? Will it in fact product a better quality with the interconnection upgrade? Are you a hi-fi enthusiast? Maybe you can share your setup so we can learn from it for further upgrades 😊

After reading this I think it is a very good idea but then I go search for the manual the make sure if it possible, seems like it’s not? Since the XLR is for output to the passive speaker, can it be used as an input?

Okay… I was expecting a better sound quality if I upgrade the cable to Mogami with Neutrik TS and Amphenol RCA. Will it? 😊

Thanks for that! I’m connecting scarlett 2i2 3rd gen’s TS/TRS* output to Fiio K5 Pro RCA input. Then using Edifier S1000DB native RCA cable connect from Fiio K5 Pro to the Edifier’s input. I’m thinking of upgrading the native RCA cable to something better, will it worth it or just use the...

Sorry I just know some basic about audio… what I mean is there any difference if I build a cable with TRS to RCA and TS to RCA. Will the TRS to RCA perform better or it’s just the same
