For me, it's all about our boy Josh. I've watched him for years, and enjoyed seeing him, his ear, his ability to express his impressions verbally, and most of all his talent for cinematography grow. I'm at endgame with Arya, CTH+SDAC, and EQ APO. It sounds exactly perfect to me, so I'm not in the hobby any more. I just listen to music, now. Josh could be talking about anything, so long as he does it with the same interest, thoughtfulness, humor, clarity, and style. I'd be an avid viewer of his cookie review channel, if he had one.

Yeah, pretty new to this and this really helps! Btw, is it possible to output speakers/monitors from the amp/dac? Heard it isn't possible as it doesnt have enough power. But my setup in my head is: PC > Modius > Magnius (as it is amp and preamp) > headphones and/or speakers. Is this a viable option to listen to on either outputs?

Something that was overlooked during the video is that a DAC isn’t absolutely necessary for your headphone setup. All digital devices (phones, laptops, etc) have DACS built into them. They’re just not as high quality as an external DAC. I think another thing that would help new users is: do you even need a DAC? Why do audiophiles invest in DACS?

@jasongofandi4874
@jasongofandi4874 2 года назад
Some DACs don't have power on-off switches like the examples here. Personally, I'd advise to do the power cables last and hook up the interconnections between the DAC and the sources and amplifier first. Rather not risk the touching of ends that are not supposed to touch, and any weird sounds or pops when plugging in these things. And routing them becomes easier as the first thing I'd do is powering off and unplugging the power cord first for changing things that connect to the DAC.

A very informative session presented more question than are answered. You left out the speaker setup. If your (un)balanced connections are used for your speakers, where do you put the connection for your DAC? In others words, you have a TV (streaming source) connected by e-ARC to your receiver, which connects to an external amp using (un)balanced inputs. Now, where do you place your DAC to get the more efficiency out of the streaming source (TV) and how do you know that your internal DACs are disabled and you are using your new state of the art external DAC. Again, very informative video.

@ahappycoder2925
@ahappycoder2925 2 года назад
The 3.5mm adapter is not actually a digital output (ones and zeros), rather it is itself a DAC which outputs analog (continuous audio signal). You’ll want to take regular usb from the device into the USB port on the DAC. The external DAC is to replace the dongle. Hope that helps!
@niels7094
@niels7094 2 года назад
Mentioning windows settings would have been nice. You want to up the bitrate and sample rate in your audio settings (as high as they go. If its not high enough for what your dac is advertised as, you will have to downlaod software from the manufacturer website as audio drivers, and install those as the dac device audio drivers). Also disable windows sound enhancements. Its kind of important. Otherwise you have an expensive dac not really taken advantage of to the fullest.

TRS or 6.35mm Jack is technically compatible and IS technically XLR just in another form. TRS'es come in Balanced, Unbalanced and Mono variants, so just make sure that if you have a DAC with TRS and AMP with XLR, that you get proper cables, f.e. DAC -> AMP = Balanced TRS (3 contacts) -> MALE XLR. I'm currently running this "mixed" setup, because I have TRS Dac, TRS Monitors, but an XLR subwoofer. So I had to cash out a bit and get 4 cables. TRS -> XLR(M) 2x and XLR(F) -> TRS 2x (both balanced, 3 pins per cable)

What product photos? of the Topping stack? I'm sure the "22.57 DSD" on the product photos are just meant to convey/advertise that it can play "22.57 DSD".

There were some laptops that had optical, but didn't have a dedicated output for it. IIRC some MacBook Pro laptops had a dual purpose 3.5mm Audio jack that also included optical. With this, you could either plug in a normal 3.5mm audio cable like on your headphones, or use a 3.5mm optical adaptor on your optical cable and plug that in. No clue if they still use this or not, though.

As I am somewhat more knowledgeable in AVR/Home Theater, I want to Delve into Home Stereo and utilizing a Turntable, as well. In terms of incorporating a pre-amp, where would it be introduced in this line-up? Before the DAC and before the Amp?

Nice video. Can you make a vid going over the different output options for your amp? I generally use headphones, but may want to upgrade to external monitor/speaker systems. Do I need monoblocks, another amp, cabling, ect.? Thanks for the informative vids. Keep them coming!

Soo..i´ve been using an asus essence stx II, i want to switch to external devices and replace my soundcard. My DT 1990 Pro need 250 ohm, i also use a condensator mic (Rode NT-1A) . What devices do i actually need? Dac = external soundcard for better soundquality? Amp for powering my devices? Or is it exactly the way around?

Do most USB inputs allow for full res? I saw on a few models the USB can not do as high of a bit / sample rate as optical. Is that the norm. I want to get an RME DAC and plug my MacBook Pro into the USB. Do you know if I can get all the sampling rates like the optical inputs?

I use an Asus Xonar U3 USB DAC dongle (for the Great Bass EQ) which has optical out through 3.5mm and I feed that into a Schiit Bifrost 2.

Sir, I am from India and Iwant to get a setup for home audio . With an external DAC supporting PCM, DSD, MQA. DAC to be connected to a stereo amplifier (which can be connected to DAC and also can be connected to TV, Setup box as well). The stereo amplifier is connected to passive speakers. I will use apple music on my mobile and laptop to connect to the DAC. My budget is $300. Please suggest and help.

Hi Joshua I really liked the explanation I was actually using my bookshelf speakers with a 6.35mm connector. I switched it up to RCA cable on the back. The issue is I have a Zen dac v2 and my headphones are connected to the 6.35mm port and now I am getting sound in both my headphone DT1990 Pros and the bookself speakers. Do I have to disconnect the wires in the back and front each time I need to use one? Will it over load the device?.

Looking to hook up a sub to a dac, specifically the e70. Wondering how best to do this? No separate amp, powered speakers. Nothing with a sub out.

I ordered one of these today and I intend to connect it to a hifi system with a preamp and separate amplifier. Do I connect it to the pre-amp or amp? My intention is to use it to connect Bluetooth headphones. Thanks.

I have been wondering if I need a dedicated DAC. This video answered some of my questions about how to hook one up - that's great. However I am still unsure about the need. I use Spotify or MP3s from my PC. I am sure all motherboards have analog sound out. Mine is a ROG Strix Z490-E, from which I use the analog out to a NAD D 3020 amp. (which has a Cirrus Logic 8-channel IC (don't know what that means in terms of quality)) The motherboard has a CODEC S1220A and a SABRE9023P or SABRE9018Q2C DAC - not sure which, it is hard to get info. Should I expect a great improvement if I use the digital out instead of the onboard DAC? Okay, now for the hard part: I also have a Pioneer SC-99 hooked up to my PC via the HDMI from my 3090 graphics card. Is the Spotify file/stream converted from their digital format to an HDMI format, then the Pioneer DAC converts that? The SC-99 has a SABRE32 Ultra DAC ES9016S. Does it matter if the signal comes from USB or HDMI? Related: do all DACs convert all digital file formats? What happens when a new file format comes out? Will a software update handle it or do you need a new chip? Last question - if I go digital out, will I lose volume control on the PC? If digital is just the file being transferred, how could volume information be passed to the external DAC? Thanks for your answers.

How do I use this with my cable box? My wireless headphones will no longer work connected directly to my TV since Optimum put in a new cable box.

I'm trying to find a USB C cable to run from from my phone to my Gustard X16 dac and I have no idea what type of termination end the input is. Looks like it's probably the same input size of the dac Joshua is using as an example. Anyone know the USB input name for the cable?
