| Whats your sound system for your computer? Get a pair of AKG K341 headphones. Instant upgrade to your sound out of the PC. | |
| Troubleshooting Audio Interference (Buzz/Hum/Static) The Topping HS02 ($99) seems to work well. https://archimago.blogspot.com/2023/04/measurements-topping-hs02-usb-20.html | |
| Q on connecting Benchmark DAC3HGC to AHB2 You'll know if the DAC3 HGC is in 'DAC' mode if the 'HT' light on the front panel is lit. Otherwise you'll be OK. Most likely your DAC3 HGC is also set for unattenuated output when using the balanced XLR connection. (If you've never opened the... | |
| Why do I need a switch? otoh, some of us aren’t really into the journey, don’t want to expend the effort, come here ask a question, just want the simple answer, then they get much input that is contradictory, vocal naysayers abound, and then frustration ensues ... No,... | |
| Why do I need a switch? Like @panzrwagn posted, an Ethernet switch doesn’t make a bit of difference. People and companies who claim otherwise are being disingenuous or perhaps ignorant at best. | |
| Looking For Sound Controller I suggest doing a search on phantom power and the difference between active and passive mics. Here's an example of adding a Modmic to a mixer which may help you as well - https://antlionaudio.com/blogs/news/using-a-modmic-with-a-mixer-the-basics | |
| Distinctly Digital Forever? You can make digital audio sound like anything you want to. There are various plugins for sale for use with digital audio workstations that emulate famous recording consoles, preamps, reel-to-reel tape machines, etc. Some software players have sup... | |
| Buzz from mouse in speaker Try using a USB isolator (like a Topping HS01) between your computer and the M-Track Duo. | |
| Help needed to sort out an annoying crackling/static issue with streamer Hopefully you just got a defective unit. I see the MX Stream uses a CM3 / RPi 3 based module. I’ve actually had audio glitches when using a stock Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with some versions of the Linux kernel. That might be what’s at play in your si... | |
| Never heard an amp do this before, ideas? I second @jasonbourne52 suggestion. Does it make the noise when the inputs are connected to something and amp is powered on? | |
| Which DAC Filter - Fast or Slow? I listen primarily through my Benchmark DAC3 HGC or the DAC3 B both of which have a 'fast' filter. Sounds great to me! | |
| Banchmark DAC3B vs. Denafrips Pontus II (12th Aniv.) @designsfx Interesting that the Pontus has significant problems with intersample overs. Benchmark has an application note that explains this scenario and what they did to fix it in their converters. If using the DAC with a PC, a workaroun... | |
| Banchmark DAC3B vs. Denafrips Pontus II (12th Aniv.) The Benchmark DAC is capable of studio level output (+22 dBu) that maximizes the performance (i.e., signal-to-noise ratio) of the Benchmark pre and amp. Off the top of my head, I think the RME ADI-2 Fs and the Okto Research DAC8 can also do the sa... | |
| Cheap Chromebook fine? I think the Chromebook will work fine. I use a Raspberry Pi 4 as a streamer and it's not as powerful as a Chromebook. Looks like you can install Kodi from Google Play, so you'll be able to stream using UPnP as well as play files from a music libra... | |
| Headphones Amp, Sound card, Bluetooth Dongle Questions Bluetooth usually uses resampling and a lossy codec to transfer audio between the source (your PC) and the receiver (the headphones). So even if you start with hi-res audio (24/192 PCM, for example) you'll end up listening to 44.1 AAC. You'd p... |
