Would these speakers be compatible or benefit from a preamp? I have a schiit stack and am hoping to make use of the preamp output.

A preamp is very much compatible and would enable you to connect a wider array of source devices.

T.FernandezThank you! Other than input expansion, would a preamp noticeably improve the speakers’ sound?

Pgm95One big benefit of the preamp would be the option to control volume in the analog domain rather than with the digital gain controls on PC/mobile. And like all things, preamps are on a spectrum scale of quality… indeed sometimes they can add to the quality, or sometimes equal in quality but more fun in tone and character (I see lots of people use tube pre-amps to sweeten the roll off of clipping signal distortion, increase the sensation of soundstage depth, add 2nd order harmonic “richness”). Some people like solid state preamps with tone controls, like adjusting bass/mids/treble!
Hope this gives you some ideas!

How does one get to 300w or 150x2 on that included power supply? The power ratings don’t seem to come close to the included power supply…

Will this convert a single-ended connector into a balanced one or will the connection remain single-ended?

Are the XLR inputs converted to the LINE OUT RCA jacks and controlled by the volume knob? If so, this feature would be ideal for use with a powered subwoofer or two.

The audio on my pc38x is not working
One day I just plugged in my Pc38x and they stopped working. I tested the mic and it works, I've tried changing the cord multiple times and have adjusted the volume disk, none of this has changed my situation. I've tested the headphones on my PC, switch, and PS5 and the audio doesn't work there either.

Meze 99 Noir
Heard a lot about these in the past few years, and they sound as good as they look. Deep bass, crystal clear midrange, and solid treble, overall superior sound. Great for multiple genres, special...

Hifiman x Dekoni Cobalt or Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir
Im looking to buy a set of closed back headphones under $200. So far the two main contenders are the Cobalt and Noir. Has anyone compared these two? which seems to be better? Both are around the same price. Ive heard the cobalt is lacking in bass, while thats not ideal im not too worried as I dont often listen to bassy music.

Xduoo Poke II repair
Hi friends, I recently had a mishap with my Xduoo Poke II, that is, it fell out of my hands and now it turns on but the command buttons now work sometimes and sometimes not. I have written several times to Xduoo directly because it was with them that I bought this Dac and to find out what I can do about it but after two months I have not received a response. I live in Mexico City but I would like to know if anyone knows of a technical service in the US that could repair my Poke II and know if it would be worth it for me taking into account the cost of repair and the issue of shipping, or if it is better to think about buying a new portable Dac. Thanks and Cheers everybody.
