So. Can someone more intelligent than me explain this product? Seems to me that it's like a DAC but only with a coaxial out.

Spukta It's a USB to SPDIF converter. It receives data from your computer/tablet/phone using USB Audio 2 protocol, converts it to Spdif signal which goes to your DAC. You need this if your DAC doesn't have a USB input, or it's USB input isn't the the best quality. Schiit Eitr does the same. Singxer F-1 implements the latest XMOS chipset, providing the best possible sound quality. There is a catch though: you can buy it directly directly from China for $180, shipped immediately. So why would anyone buy it for $190 here and wait more than a month for delivery?

PTamasThank you! Sounds interesting. About the fact that it's cheaper somewhere else - there are many products that also are cheaper somewhere else, but for me massdrop is more for products that otherwise don't ship to my country or are unavailable anywhere else.

PTamasNot quite the same as the Eitr. Eitr doesn't do DSD and the Singer F-1 supports it. Plus the Eitr requires external power.

PTamasAdding to what PTamas said, it looks like the Schiit Eitr goes up to 24/192 PCM and doesn't do DSD, whereas the Singxer F-1 XMOS XU208 (according to the description on Massdrop) accepts up to 32 bits PCM going in (stepping down to 24/192 going out) and does do 'single-rate' DSD (i.e. standard SACD quality) up to DSD256. The other thing I've noticed is Schiit says their Eitr is Windows 10 compatible whereas Singxer makes no such claim for their USB interface. Lastly, Schiit is made in the USA whereas Singxer...PRC.

velo_sometimeWindows 10 now has native USB class 2 support, being one of the latest xmos chips I highly doubt one will have compatibility issues. The drivers aren't as complex as they were when trying to work around UAC 1.0 crud in the older days of Windows. As always, buyer beware.

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
