    The emotional roller coaster of learning to love the THX Onyx dongle DAC

    I recently acquired a pair of Vandersteen Treo CTs that made me reevaluate my whole audio set up. This is what I have learned about DACs and streaming: I am a 99% digital streamer. Outside of the very occasional record spin, I use Tidal and occasionally YouTube and PlexDash for things not...

    Will I get audio if I buy a USB A male to USB C female adapter and attach a USB C to 3.5MM dongle?

    I realize this is a confusing mess of a question... Sorry. Basically, I have a Windows 10 laptop with only USB A 3.0 ports and a broken headphone jack that I can't really afford to fix. I'd like USB A to C adapters for it anyway, just encase I need them for something else, since USB C only...

    Troubleshooting S/PDIF Output

    Since my new Nakamichi amp has a bunch of digital inputs, I've been trying to make the most use of them as the DACs on there really sound fantastic. I'm modding a Denon LA-2150K laserdisc to output the digital audio (yes, most laserdiscs had digital audio, though it was also analog-capable)...
