| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. A.I. is extremely intriguing. At least to me. The available information will only grow over time. Don’t be afraid to call B.S. I have found the algorithm to not always be correct. The Focal Utopia Be (Beryllium) speakers—such as the Utopia M... | |

| Is I2S pin configuration for cocktail audio x50d compatible to PS Stellar Gold DAC? Ask chatgtp for the pin layouts? Damn thing isn’t always right but most of the time gets it right. I love it when I say you’re wrong or you’re lying. Dang thing will own up to it. |
