I have been on the look out for a new DAC for sometime, but so far the new COS engineering D10 DAC seems a potential candidate. I only listen to digital sources and prefer all-in-one DACs with proper volume control. I don't have a preamp and prefer to go DAC direct to my active speakers. This DAC also has streaming and phone boards as additional options. I hope to read some reviews and user experiences before making a commitment. Any contributions will be welcomed.

“A true no-excuses, balanced, remote-control preamp. Switch between passive, differential buffer, and differential tube gain modes, enjoy the fine control of a 128-step relay-switched stepped attenuator volume control with perfect channel matching, and control it all from the comfort of your favorite chair."—Schiit websitePractically brand new in great condition! Works perfectly, very low hours.This gem is one of the later versions of the original Freya design (board version 1.2). I am the original owner. No apparent damage or scratches anywhere (it seems to be in “like new” condition to my eyes), but rating 9/10 just in case. Very low hours because it spent most of the last 3 years in its factory box. (We moved house shortly after I bought it and didn’t have a proper space (until recently) to set it up again)! This fun little pre-amp has kept me up listening on more than a few nights of late, much to my wife’s chagrin. I’ve been doing some tube rolling and you can get amazing changes in the quality and character of the sound with different tubes. The original factory tubes provided by Schiit are included (They appear to be Russian 6H8C (equivalent to 6SN7)).I’m only selling it because I have the newer “+” model on order. 🙂 Includes original box, manual, remote, power cord. Terms: All sales are final. No returns. Buyer to pay shipping from Redmond, WA (98052). Local pickup is available. Shipping dimensions are 21.0" × 13.0" × 7.5" (12.5 lbs.). Ships in the original factory box. Buyer pays shipping charges. Buyer pays transaction fees (I will accept PayPal, Square, Zelle, Venmo, and CashApp -- if you want an invoice to take advantage of things like PayPal's 0% financing, let me know). No warranty is expressed or implied.649.00 USD

Hi there, Hope everyone is sound and safe during this historic event. I am looking for setting up a budget bedroom system that is compact and simple. Does anyone have recommendation for an all-in-one DAC/Streamer/Pre unit? I have an OPPO 103 which does have streaming capacity but the sound quality is not at audiophile level. I have a pair of Meridian 605 mono amp and a pair of Proac tablette monitors. I am not up to date with current market, and I think Naim has Uniti, and NAD has something similar, but I haven't heard them in person. My budget is $2000 or less used or new. Any s -
This unit is the Demo Unit that we have used at AXPONA and Capital Audiofest. I have used this unit in other Demo applications so it has maybe 150 to 200 hours on it. It replaced a PS Audio BHK and paired with single ended amps was a clear step forward. Will come with a full five year warranty on the unit and six months on the tubes. Five single ended inputs, a tape loop, two single ended outputs, and a truly amazing headphone amp makes this a very special centerpiece to any system. Even better, this unit is equipped with variable gain and you can switch between 0dB and 25dB making it -

I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro, Mackie CR3's, Behringer HPX2000 and I'm just kinda happy. Mackies are connected to 3.5mm headphone output of Macbook Pro to the 1/4 TRS inputs of the Mackies. The Mackies have a 3.5mm aux output I can run the headphones on but when I plug them in the speakers shut off. I read that my laptop has 3.5mm/optical mini toslink output. How can I 100% find that out? I installed a programs called Mactracker and it said I had it but I followed some other instructions to check and it didn't show I do. In any event, without upgrading the Mackies I'd like to improve my -

Analog Wednesday: The Pre-amplifier and Amplifier
bobfa posted a blog entry in Describing the Technologies in Computer Audio
Welcome to my first Analog Wednesday! "Stuck in the Middle With You" With apologies to "Stealers Wheel." DAC's to the left of me, Speakers to the right, here I am, Stuck in the middle with you I do not want to leave out the parts of the system that make the sound! In a file-based or digital music system something has to make the air move, and that is the speakers. (OR Headphones). Working upstream from the speakers we need amplification to power the speakers. In a system of separate components, there are usually two devices. The Pre-amplifie -
OPPO was "nice" enough to post a peek into what they are working on at the OPPO Digital Future Products page. I think they would like people to be aware of it as they apparently can't pull it in before the holiday season and hope some fan base to hold off of purchases from other vendors by posting the planned hardware. And that is my question. I may be considering exactly this new combo (DAC+AMP+HF) for the holiday season in up to the 2.5K range. What would be an (un)educated guess of this respectable community - has OPPO a chance to best current offerings and so the wait is warranted?

My current setup looks like this: iMac running Audirvana Plus -> V-DAC -> Audioengine A5s I'd like to step up to something more versatile that will let me add a headphone amp, a musical subwoofer, and replace the A5s with higher quality passive speakers at some point. I'm starting to think that picking up something like an Emotiva USP-1 might make sense. If I understand correctly, placing a USP-1 right before the A5s would give me volume control and bass management for a subwoofer, make it easy to connect a headphone amp, and would make it easy to add a power amp when I decide t

Greetings, Im hoping I can get some advice with my new setup. I have just recently purchased and hooked up a miniwatt n3 amplifier and a pair of wharfedale 10.1 diamond speakers. This is currently hooked up straight to my pc's soundcard. I have been thinking of getting a dac but the soundstage i am quite happy with at this point. My problem (or i think it is a problem) is that I feel that the sound even though has a great soundstage, seems to be lacking a little bass. As you may know the miniwatt only has a volume control so levels are set. My question is, is this sound the natural s

Guys, any love for this thing out there? Proper reviews seem difficult to find. More specifically, does the tube section sound "tubey"?

Am I on the right path to look for a dac to serve as a preamp? I recently downsized my home theater system to a 2-channel video system. This system is in the living room and functions for listening to music & watching tv/movies. I currently use a Parasound Halo A21 amp and NAD M15 processor to drive a pair of Infinity Kappa 400 tower speakers. I use Audirvana from a macbook pro and the Meridian Explorer as a DAC. My thoughts are that I no longer have a need for a HT processor and I would like to maximize my 2-channel performance. All my music is digital. Although I have contempl
