I was worried about the gap between 40W of the amp and 80W of the speakers but it seems to be working just fine after testing. Thanks!

Hi guys! I lately succeeded with the help of this community to upgrade my listening experience with an inexpensive solution (Topping MX3 dac+amp). Today after my parents heard about my recent upgrade and have gotten a bit jealous - I'm reaching out to you guys again with another very old set...

Guys I just got the MX3 delivered and I have to say it upgraded my HIFI experience in a surprising way. I'm no audiophile but I noticed the difference significantly. To be honest I didn't expect the audio to be this warm-sounding and high quality coming from my old speakers. Thank you very...

This looks good! However, it says something technical about USB IN that I don't understand: The Topping one is 44-96Khz/16bit-24bit The Fosi Audio one is 24bit/192Khz Is this significant?

Thank you! Another question - Am I correct about my insistance to buy an amp+dac? Or should I buy an even cheaper amp without a dac? (I'm using a laptop for listening to music)

Hi everybody, I had an old kenwood stereo system that broke but the speakers seem to still be working. I want to buy a cheap amp to drive them but I don't understand how to choose one that fits (Input power, Impedence). This is a photo of the speaker with the requirements: This one for...

Not sure, started to notice it lately. When nothing is playing: - In analogue input the hiss starts when the volume is around "15" ("40" is max). - In "CD mode", the hiss starts when the volume is around "20". For the same song, when in analogue mode through pc I need higher volume to get the...

Yes. With no cable connected at all the hiss remains the same for every given volume level.

Looks like an external DAC is the cheapest way to go here, maybe it will provide better, louder source and I won't have to crank up the volume on the hifi which causes more hiss.

Thanks. Theoretically I can rip, but practically I can't go back to the stone age and play individual tracks using an old hifi interface. So frustrating that this effing thing has functionality to convert from CD to USB drive/memory card but it can't recieve a simple digital input. No way to...

I have an old kenwood hifi with the following features: CD player, USB (for disk on keys and old mp4 players), Memory Card slot and RCA analogue input. I'm trying to deal with one or more of the following problems without investing more money: It is a shame that this system has so many digital...
