DAC for tablet
Looking for a dac to use with a tablet then to musical paradise mp 301 tube amp. Tablet is Samsung tab S2, I use the headphone jack on the tube amp so not interested in it having a amp in it. Also want line in to run tablet to it with rca. Any suggestions? Also needs to be small footprint as my headphone setup is on my night stand so room is limited. Am I looking for unobtainable dac?

Have you considered adding a Chromecast Audio to your system? Cheap! Cast your source from your tablet to the Chromecast dongle, NO wires! The signal stays in the digital realm via toslink to any DAC you choose that accepts toslink. Sound quality can be further enhanced by inserting an IFi purifier between Chromecast Audio dongle and your DAC. I use an iPad Mini, Chromecast Audio, Schiit Modi Multibit, Schiit Jotunheim and very happy with results aurally as well as ergonomically.

I have Samsung S2 tablet... use Audiquest Dragonfly Red (DFR) in line out mode with external Gustard H10 amp for mine with USB Audio Player Pro. Can also run direct from the DFR if you wish:

Check out the Earstudio ES100. It's a Bluetooth DAC/Amp with an excellent Android app that allows you to control the device.
I use mine as a DAC/Pre-Amp for my DarkVoice tube amp and it works great. LDAC or Aptx from my Android devices and AAC from my iOS devices.

I mean, is the Grace SDAC not an option for some reason? But you would need a powered hub in between.

The Grace SDAC and JDS OL DAC are going to be the best compact options for something without an amp. Most marketed at the portable market include some level of amplification so they can drive things the average cellphone can't.

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.

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.

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.
