Discrete R2r With Tube Output
I have the Lab 12 DAC 1 Ref.   It really sounds good.  Something that should be auditioned or have an easy return policy.   I listened to a few DACs below , at , and above its price.   Loved its sound and can live without DSD and fixed output. Whi...

How to hook up the Anton Naim headphone amp to Mac 8950
I deleted my last post as I was unsure of the label.  RCA are identified as UNBAL on the front panel when you select input.   So if the front panel says UNBAL 1 you will connect to the RCA input labeled "1" on the rear panel.    
How to hook up the Anton Naim headphone amp to Mac 8950
Hi My Dad has a 8950,  nice amp.    So you are trying to send the Naim as the source to the Mac via RCA?

Innuos makes one in that range too.   The most important thing about any of these devices is support and user interface.    The best hardware in the world is crap without good software.   Visit those mfg forums and search for issues when you fina... 
Eversolo A6/A8
When my Dad received his Eversolo I thought it was a decent package but after dealing with them on the customer service side I wish I could retract recommending them.  I apologize to anyone who bought one on my recommendation and is having problem...

They are charging Innous and Lumin pricing on the new model.  Spend a little more and buy from a big player in streaming  I had high hopes for the machine.   I though it would change my mind about Chinese HiFi but it just proves how little a comp...

Eversolo just did an update that rendered my Dad's A6 inoperable via USB.  Same software/firmware as A8.    Affects McIntosh Integrated Amps with DAC cards.   His 8950 was working fine , it updated and immediately after did not recognize DAC.  I...

RCA to XLR (Anthem MRX to dan d'agostino progression)
I also recommend a transformer type converter.  I had a preamp that had a full suite of transformer coupled inputs and outputs.   I could plug in my balanced tuner and DAC and it would output RCA , input RCA it could output XLR , or native in nati... 
Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable
I have a Origin Live Silver iv on my Sota Escape and it's really nice.   I would imagine their top offerings are high quality as you go up the line.    
Eversolo A6/A8
I was pretty vocal about Zidoos lack of support on their forum , even mentioning that I asked them for warranty support 5 days before it expired and no further contact .   A solid company would have PM'd me or replied but no one from Zidoo reached... 
Eversolo A6/A8
Imagine if he had a DAC that only had a a USB input or even worse, a huge library of DSD material on it that can only be played via USB ?     That's why it's unacceptable
