dac help

Hello, Would it be possible to have some suggestions about products like described on subject? I just bought a Wiim Mini and need to connect it to a DAC&AMP, to leave on my desk constantly powered, through optical cable (digital signal). I will mainly using it, for now, with Qobuz and without...

The quick summary is that I can't get MQA quality streaming Tidal (or other apps) from my iPhone to a Dragonfly Cobalt or Hip Dac 2. (Thank you to anyone who can help with this!) My setup: - Tidal Masters (I've had the same result with Qobuz) - iPhone SE (I've had the same result with an...

I've noticed for a while a very faint crackling/hiss on certain sounds in some songs. I can best describe it as similar to a crinkle of a plastic candy wrapper. Kinda faint crackle/hiss. Seems to only happen at high-end sounds. I can replicate this on both my mobo's DAC from an Asus x570 prime...

Hi everyone, I've been reading reviews and watching videos regarding both DACs, and I can't decide. Both seem to be very good for the price. Currently I have a Dragonfly Cobalt, from my PC to a Yamaha AX369 connected to a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitor V7. I use Roon and I like MQA. From the...

I appear to got a little bit lost in the plethora of DAC reviews and discussion on audiosciencereview.Com! I'm looking to upgrade my ageing Dacmagic 100, with something up to £500. Those guys seem to like the SMSL SU-9, SMSL M500 and Topping D30 Pro, but there's always the obvious choice of...

What's a great HiFi streaming setup that doesn't take up too much room. I'm really trying to go with just a few boxes, rather than stringing together a bunch of stuff. I don't need volume- it's a small room- but want quality sound both in my phones and speakers (ideally bookshelf). I do have a...
