    Review and Measurements of Massdrop Alex Cavalli Tube Hybrid (CTH) and JDS O2 Headphone Amps

    I own a CTH. There are a couple pretty bad things about it, but I enjoy the sound it has over my laptop, phone or dragonfly red. I do think the build quality is quite bad, because I had one for a couple of days and it must have shorted because it stopped working. They sent me a new one no...

    Review and Measurements of Topping D50 DAC

    Hey hawkwind, I am also using it with a mac. When using a USB dac on mac its important to make sure you are using 44100 kz as the format. The DAC should tell you in its display what the format is. You can set the format by going to Applications -> Audio MIDI setup -> click on d50 on the right...

    Looking for top-tier portable DAC/AMP

    After doing research into the Mojo, it seems a lot of users are having issues with the batteries giving out quickly. They can only be replaced by an authorized dealer for a stupid price. Beware used mojo listings as you might be paying for unit with a battery at the end of its life. Personally...

    Looking for top-tier portable DAC/AMP

    So its kind of funny but I'm not sure the dragonfly red is better than the LGV30 for me now... the thing is that the minimum volume on the dragonfly red is quite high with the headphones I'm using. When I do my best to volume match them, I have to turn the LGV30 way up and I realize it actually...

    Review and Measurements of Topping D50 DAC

    Ok if not, depending on how this RMA process works I might be able to send you one in the future to tear down. I'm guessing I'll have to send it in and then theyll have to send it back to me first though

    Review and Measurements of Topping D50 DAC

    Sorry to keep bringing up the CTH in this thread but thought I'd mention, I came home from work today and powered this thing on... and no sound. The tube is also not glowing anymore. Would be interested to see a teardown as well to see what kind of build quality / QA they seem to have.

    Review and Measurements of Topping D50 DAC

    Cool. I've only had it for about a week. Sounds good to me! Especially classical music with big string sections seem like they have more air over my LGV30 or my Dragonfly red. I notice slightly more detail on jazz recordings that I'm very familiar with as well, like "Love Supreme" and "Art Meets...

    Review and Measurements of Topping D50 DAC

    Just got one of these, there is a noticeable improvement in sound quality over my LGV30's DAC. Slightly better separation is the main thing I've noticed, along with slightly more detail retrieval. I wasn't expecting much improvement so I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm using it with a Massdrop...

    Looking for top-tier portable DAC/AMP

    Yeah it looks like the Black version doesn't measure that well when you crank up the output. I never use the volume on the Red anywhere near max. Its quite a big step up from my LGV30 to my ears, which has a pretty nice DAC on paper as well. I have no experience with the Black version but I...

    Looking for top-tier portable DAC/AMP

    I would highly recommend you look into the Dragonfly Red DAC/Amp from audioquest. https://www.audioquest.com/dacs/dragonfly/dragonfly-red Its incredibly convenient. Just get a USB-C to USB-A adapter, plug it into your Pixel's USB-C port and you are good to go. It sounds really really good and...

    Cool. Yeah I got the cheaper one in the link below. I guess it shouldn't degrade the sound but I have no idea what I'm talking about.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L4CPF7U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The point of this seems to be to lower the sensitivity of your sensitive IEMs. If this works without reducing audio quality it would be awesome, so I could connect my IEMs to my desktop system. There is...
