Cayin iDAC 6-MK2 DAC

I've been listening to the Cayin iDac MK2 for a few weeks via USB...and it sounded fine...a little analytical and maybe a touch bright, but a nice resolving crisp sound. I enjoyed the tubes on a lot of recordings bringing a bit of warmth and texture. The USB input was nothing to write home about. Today I decided to try the I2S input with an old CI Audio Transient MKII USB converter with a linear PS I had laying around and let me say...WOW. This little DAC really opened up. It sounds far less bright and more airy but with the same resolution and bite. The Transient will only output up to 192kH so in the next few days I'll be moving some components around and giving the Cayin a permanent I2S home with the DI-20. Surprisingly satisfied.

New addition to the stable.

I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review

The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners

How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?

Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.
