I've been toying with this budget amplifier along with my Audeze LCD2 (2016 Revision)/Focal Elear.
I actually prefer the sound out of my computer. Probably because the sound card has the same...

I was quite impressed witht he DAC USB part of the amp as well, although I noticed that the line-in aspect of it sounded no better or maybe worse than the original source.

Just got mine today, and I'm honestly shocked at how good the amp and DAC section are of this device. I primarily use an Aune T1 DAC/amp, and this thing actually betters it in bass impact and bass...

If the Big Blue SRC does in fact upsample the 16bit/48kHz signal, I do believe it will improve sound quality of 16bit/44kHz sound files because it will smooth out the curves of the sound input and...

You're welcome and thanks for explaining what "IC" means.
(1) As for quote, "the High-Resolution music will be downgraded to be 16bit/48kHz, but it still can be played," I think she means that...

Thank you for pointing out.. It seems I misunderstood this. So basically via USB we can only input 16/48 signal and then the builtin SRC will upsample it. I'm not sure whether this is helpful for...

At least Vence confirmed what has been suspected. I don't have what I need to try coax SPDIF and probably won't gear up for that anytime soon. I'm still happy with what this device does for the...

And even though we use SPDIF as input, I still tend to believe that our high resolution signal will be downgraded to low resolution by SRC chip inside the big blue, we'd better only play normal...

Thank you for the efforts, from what I can read, I think:
(1) Via USB connection we cannot get 32/384 native playback, this is due to hardware spedicification instead of driver. (IC is 'integrated...

She mentions "audio input and SPDIF input are Hi-Res Audio compliant" , so maybe that is capable of 32 bit audio? Also what does she mean by upgrading USB IC?
