| MQA DAC with Coax Output You’ll have plenty to choose from with that budget. Be prepared to get some pushback from members regarding MQA, as it’s not universally accepted as being the greatest thing since sliced bread. Plus, you eliminate a lot of excellent DACs if MQA is... | |

| Can a Mytek Stereo192 DAC be connected via USB2 without a driver I always thought that Macs didn’t need USB drivers. As far as things like reclockers, I’m pretty sure that basically just being a pass through device that no driver is needed. I certainly didn’t need one for my W4S usb reclocker. | |
| Help! Apple TV go through irdac? The micro USB port is for servicing only, not an output. The optical port SHOULD be plug and play. Make sure you’ve enabled it in the Apple TV settings. You stream to the Apple TV via AirPlay. | |
| Pro-ject Turntable Tonearm Dropping Too Slow I don’t know if your Tonearm has this capability, but check the height of the Tonearm rest. You might be able to lower it enough so that you don’t have that issue, yet still have it raise high enough to clear the record surface. | |
