    Connecting a S.M.S.L SU-1 DAC to a Pioneer VSX-935 Receiver

    I bought and received yesterday a S.M.S.L SU-1 DAC, but I can't get it to work in my setup, between a Sony BDP-S6500 Blu Ray Player and a Pioneer VSX-935 Receiver. As the DAC only has one type of output, analog, it must be connected to the receiver's analog input (RCA). The Blu Ray player, in...

    RCA or Optical Connection for Bluetooth Receiver

    Hi all, I recently purchase a TP-Link HA100 bluetooth receiver which I have connected to the Line 1 RCA connection of my Yamaha A-S701. However, after some research, I discovered that if I want the signal to go through the amp's DAC, it needs to be connected to the optical output. My question...

    Suggestions for a portable battery powered amp (No DAC) with USB-C

    This might seem a little specific but I am looking for a portable battery powered amp which I can use with my iPhone to use with my IEMs. I like the sound out of the Apple lightning dongle so I don’t need a separate DAC I guess. All the ones in the market seem to include a DAC. It is fine even...

    Rega Apollo-r, Brio Amp & Dac

    I am adding a Rego Apollo-R to my Rega brio amplifier and Rega Dac combo. Q. Do I connect the Apollo-r CD player straight to the amplifier or should it go through the Rega DAC? Both the optical in ports on the DAC are used up the so CD may have to go through coaxial.

    Balanced 4.4mm cable for Shure SRH1540?

    Does such a thing exist? I bought a Questyle M15 DAC, which has a 4.4mm balanced output I'd like to try with my Shure cans. I'd like to find out what (if any) difference/improvement the balanced output offers. The problem is, I don't think it's possible to buy a 4.4mm balanced cable for these...

    Wiim Mini and Denon PMA-600NE

    Hi! I already have a Denon PMA-600NE amp with Q acoustics 3020 speakers, which I use for traditional CD/Vinyl/Cassette playback. I have used the Bluetooth input from my mobile phone to play Spotify streams but that's obviously not ideal as the amp only has very basic Bluetooth codecs. So I...
