help needed for new headphone system
I have the Quicksilver Headphone amp and like it a lot.  I use it with Klipsch HP3 and Grado rs1e.   Great amp.   It was not getting much use, I was on the fence whether to sell my HP gear but zi set it back up recently with a laptop.  I've been ... 
Do people hate Eversolo on here? Or is it liked some?
I just did another update on my Dad's A6.   Happy to say the latest FW is dropouts free.   Unfortunately it still doesn't recognize Mac  USB DACs , it used to before 1.2.50.   Hey, almost... two updates ago it recognized the device but no sound.  ...

You are throwing your money away with Eversolo.   The worst support in the biz.   It's vital for a streamer company to be on point with FW and support.  Literally throw away devices.   Best to buy from a company like Innuos, Aurender, Aurailic......

It is most likely a tube, but ut can also be a bad capacitor.   But before you take the covers off look around the house to see if anything like a plug in air freshener or anything that cycles on and off like that.  Pull them out while troubleshoo...

I think Slaw has good taste in music....   I'll often read this thread and play something he just posted whether it is a favorite or unknown to me.   Thanks Slaw, gonna play Low Budget this morning   
Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only.
I've had really good luck on Craigslist.   The last few items I brought to the prospective buyers , I made it easy for them to listen and buy.   I sold a pair of Omega speakers in April , I brought them to RI .  I live in Mass but it was worth th...

DAC for Aurender N200
Agree , Canor is nice stuff.   I did not know that they did O.E.M. for other manufacturers   
Need to get off of bluetooth.... looking for a wifi streamer for my budget

Sell the Eversolo dac , buy a Bluesound Icon and use the McIntosh DA2 DAC in the preamp.  Its a really good DAC.   That's what I would do.   Don't buy an Eversolo streamer  their FW is garbage.

This is a pretty solitary  hobby.   I really don't show off my hardware ,  I know people think it's nuts to have big stereos anyways.  I really don't care, and at the risk of sounding selfish it's completely for my enjoyment..   The best validati...

The smile on my face when I crank it up is all I need.    My son and son in law were over the other day .  They have heard my main system a number of times in its different incarnations over the years .   They haven't heard my second system sinc... 
DAC suggestions?
To OP. .listen to a few DACs , so many good ones out there.   You can buy a nice pair at your budget.
