It's subjective, but I think it's interesting to report and bring up this problem that I can't find a solution to, when listening to music I've been feeling some kind of ''electric shocks'' and sudden vibrations in my body, in my shoulders, hands, feet, inside my leg, varying in intensity and always unpredictably, becoming a bit painful, it happens that at certain moments everything is great and I'm enjoying the songs and the sound quality, when suddenly in a few minutes I feel these irritating discomforts that really compromise the musical experience to the point that I want to turn everything off, I've already done tests by listening closely on my desktop where the speakers are, but I've also tried listening further away sitting or even standing up and I feel the same, just to make sure that it's not literally shocks caused by proximity to cables or wires, or any interference, as this has been happening does I've known for a long time that it's not something in my head, in my ears I don't feel anything significantly harsh or shrill, just a little and I think it's even bearable because I use an entry-level setup and I'm sensitive to trebles and high-mids and I'm already trying to minimize this using speakers, amp and neutral cables and even DAC filters to give a roll-off in high frequencies, being more perceptually specific harsh sound I even feel slightly at the same time no fatigue, as my speakers compensate a lot for this fatigue problem, but Even so, the bad ''shocks'' and ''vibrations'' are present and in the audio itself I don't hear any distortion or apparent noise. Researching this on various forums I didn't find anyone talking about this specifically, really no, the most I've heard about that is related to this is the phenomenon of hearing fatigue and irritation, bright and sharp sound, a situation that is even common among many people. from the audio community and I personally have been through a lot, today I use a cambridge sx-50 and an SMSL A300, RCA cable Blue Jeans and a Topping E30 via optical cable in a Wiim-mini (both plugged on Allo Shanti LPS). Could I be the problem or a weak link in the setup, would something be wrong with this synergy? would it be resonating in my ear without me feeling it at the time and also in my body, any resonance or noise or distortion in the sound? I'm very confused.

Powering this dac using phone charger sounds kind of dirty and the harshness hurts my ears, I've tested Power Bank and it's really clean as they say, but the quality is kind of claustrophobic and very poor in bass, the same I've read in reviews about IFI Power Supply and IFI X (and the same for the USB filter IFI Silencer+), now I'm plugging directly into the notebook (The USB Data and Power cable), I've clearly noticed that the sound quality of the E30 is better than the above options, sounding good soundstage, clean, accurate without any audible noise or distortion, I would say it's a comfortable sound, BUT I sometimes feel a pain in my ear, like a ''needling'', it bothers me a LOT! Believe it's some kind of noise or interference from the USB ports. Could anyone recommend a good Power Supply Linear that is good in the bass and brings superior to what I mentioned?

My Allo Volt +D recently arrived, I tested it and I was surprised with the quality, well detailed and transparent, not harsh, I'm very satisfied, but I noticed that the sound is a bit ''cold'' and tiring, lack of warmth, a bit bright too, more than that I expected, I've read that in all reviews that the sound is neutral, what can be the weakness of my setup? I don't believe it is a defect in something, My Setup: Speakers: Pioneer SB22-LR (neutral to warm sound signature) Connected to the amp by thick, shielded, decent quality cables. DAC: Toppingo E30 (neutral to warm sound signature) Powered with a phone charger and connected to the PC with an Audioquest Forest USB cable) Connected to the amp with shielded and good quality RCA cable, everything updated, including the driver. AMP: Allo Volt+D - powered with ''Allo'' 19v brick power supply)
