Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I connect to a stereo amp?

A: The output of the Apogee Groove features a stereo 1/8 headphone output that can be connected to a an amplifier using the proper cable.

Q: 2. can you use this with a Sony PS4?

A: No. The HP-A3 32-Bit D/A Converter with Headphone Amp from Fostex is a digital to analog audio converter designed for computer audio output. It is capable of handling up to a 24-bit, 96kHz digital audio source.

Q: 3. Will this work on a laptop that has USB A ports but does not have a USB C port?

A: Any computer with a typical USB-A port can use the Audioengine D1P 32-Bit Portable Headphone Amplifier and DAC. All you'll need is a USB-C to USB-A cable.

Q: 4. Can I connect to an audio mixer from the groove's headphone output? And will it maintain the high quality sound?

A: Yes you can although it is an 8th inch stereo out, however it sounds fantastic and functions fine as a line level out. So if the 8th inch connector doesn't bother you go for it.

Q: 5. Will KORG DS-DAC-100m Mobile 1Bit USB-DAC work effectively with zoom?

A: Yes, but there are a few steps you will need to go through first since the Korg DS-DAC-100m is for converting recorded WAV and MP3 audio files to DSD. The combined audio and video from a Zoom meeting is saved as MP4 format and the audio only is saved as M4A format. You would need to convert the Zoom files from M4A to either MP3 or WAV first and then you will be able to use the DS-DAC-100m to convert the recorded audio files to DSD.

Q: 6. Will the unit work as an amp and dac while overriding my IPod Classics internal dac and amp?

A: The Apogee Groove is designed to connect via USB to a MAC or PC computer. Not compatible with portable devices such as iPods or other similar devices.

Q: 7. Can you leave the CRDV volume controller detached, and control volume via the back panel (set it and forget it)?

A: Yes.

Q: 8. Does the SR-16 have latin percussion sounds?Thanks

A: The SR-16 does feature a limited amount of Latin Percussion sounds. Please see the following link for a complete list: http://bit.ly/1Klwgmi

Q: 9. I orderd these and it seems the product has a mono output, at least that is what it is doing to my audio. Can you confirm if this is a stereo output?

A: It is stereo with individual Left and Right inputs and outputs. None of the individual ins or outs is stereo, you need to connect to both sides.

Q: 10. is this a brand new?

A: Yes

[USB 2.0] No complaints, it does exactly what it says, nice solid build and easy to turn knob.

[32 Ohms or more] Very easy setup and it sounds great. Been using mine for a week now with the Sennheiser 650's and it's a great combo. Very detailed yet smooth sound. We come a long way with technology over the last decade in pro audio. To get this type a sound 10 years ago you would of had to spend around a $1000 for a headphone amp/DAC combo and it wouldn't of even been portable.

[16- / 24-bit] Exactly what I was looking for to compliment my CR3s. Don't have a crazy setup. Just have Spotify running through a Schiit stack + a Loki Mini+ to clean things up a bit, but also wanted to up the bass. I think it would be strong enough for a large room, but I'm just using it in my office. Clean tight bass for those songs that don't have a lot, but really pounds when I put something on like BassNectar. Great value and would have paid the $199, but saw it on sale so I didn't think twice. Very happy with the purchase. It was either this or the Presonus. Both highly regarded, but already had the CR3s so I kept it in the same family.

[2 x RCA, female] This is a game changer for listening to my digital music off my laptop. Listening to the range of sound through this amplifier is a wonderful experience. I can hear so much more. Thank you Apogee for such a groovy product!

[16- / 24-bit] Can't understand why users and some reviewers give this fantastic little dac such low scores. Just because the software is not so good? For me it is all about the sound and here this little unassuming USB DAC excels like no other I have heard. Upmix everything to DSD 1x or 2x and use the ASIO driver via JRiver and you have perfect (and I mean PERFECT) sound. Just add decent components downstream to appreciate what this baby has to offer. I cannot recommend this product any higher - very well done Korg, and thank you. BTW, the little sibling namely the DS-DAC-100m is just as capable sound wise. I have both and use the 100 in my main system and the 100m in my office. The HP output is pretty good also for most cans.

[USB Type-B] Okay so first off this product runs around $+ and when first being released to the U.S. it was going for a typical $. Now, I will be honest I have seen B&H but never actually purchased anything from their site...wow boy should I have. I found this for $ less than the best price, but it does not end there. No, it was paired with a free headphone that is priced out $-$ and is considered one of the best in it's price range, the Shure 440 monitor headphones. So I get around + dollars worth of audio gear for the price of $, um sound good? ... Yes! it definitely does, and I am now currently trying out each of my headphones accordingly, because the external DAC I was using before this, AMB Gamma 1 Lite, was a good DAC for a older DIY model. It was only able to produce playback at 16bit and 48khz resolution, basically mastered CD quality. Now for a starting DAC(Digital to analog converter) it is very nice, but even with the first couple of minutes and without burning in the Fostex I could tell this is some of the best money I spent this year. Now, if all of this was not enough to sell you on this purchase, on top of this they offered free shipping.... and I got this device 24hours later from the initial order. Fantastic product! fantastic DEAL!, Fantastic bonus headphone!, and Fantastic store! I will definitely be adding B&H to my top 5 list for stores I check when ordering audio and computer equipment.

[+6 dBV (0 dBFS)] This subwoofer is fantastic! This isn't a house-shaking subwoofer like your inner teenager may be hoping for, but that's not it's purpose. The purpose of this sub is to provide those nice deep low tones. If you want something that'll shake your core, look for a home theater sub.

This sub provides excellent low tones and just enough shake to not be obnoxious, but enough that if you're editing music or video, you have good reference of the lows.

It's pretty big too! I was pretty surprised. I didn't look at the dimensions before purchasing, but having the CX-5 monitors, I expected it to be something like 8x8 or 10x10 in size. It's pretty massive for a computer monitor sub. I'm not complaining about this though. It's really nice and the construction of it seems really good too.

[USB Type-B] For context, I am not a sound engineer and I've been using the Polsen Volume Controller at my home work station.

I think this volume controller is fantastic. Here are a few things that stand out me...


- the metal construction feels and looks great on my desk
- the metal knob is large and smooth
- I especially like the rubber feet that keep the device from slipping in sliding
- the mute button is an added bonus
- no extra adaptor is needed to power the device!

[I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

[Max. 2.5 W] Got this amp to use with my Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 ohm headphones. Tried some other lower powered amps but this one really works a lot better. A note that this does come with a USB-C included for use in MacBooks. When I bought it, that wasn't listed.

[+6 dBV (0 dBFS)] Excellent piece of audio gear. The D.BOB works just as stated by the manufacturer. It's awesome listening to my SACD's via my SONY UBP-X1100ES HDR 4K UHD Blu-Ray player and my external SMSL-SU8 DAC! Setup was a breeze. Great job GeerFab!
