| Holo Audio May DAC @snackeyp you should email stereophile with a link to your first post and say "what took you so long??" | |
| Ayre Acoustics Discusses Transformers (Video) Thanks for posting. I'm getting a custom preamp built and this cued me to ensure that the OLED display is on its own transformer. A good video series I didn't know about. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I believe in quality parts, monoblocks, and overbuilt power supplies, but also simple, well-known circuits without negative feedback that can be implemented cheaply. Most of those set circuits were fully detailed/explored decades ago and modern fl... | |
| Which sounds better i2s HDMI or i2s rj45? They're exactly the same interface, just a different piece of plastic controlling where the wires end up (unlike spdif vs i2s vs aes/ebu vs toslink, which all have different interfaces). | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @nonoise Indeed. I just don't buy the pure measurement perspective pushed by ASR, but it appears that this dac measures quite well and is a real technical achievement: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measureme... | |
| Who has has a totaldac DAC? @vin99 Funny to see you post that thread. I just read it in entirety earlier today... When I purchased my last dac I demoed a number of different brands/topologies. One of those was the Matrix x-sabre pro that is near the top of ASR's measurement ... | |
| Who has has a totaldac DAC? And @georgehifi I've also been reading about the new Holo May dual mono dac. Would love to hear their top of the line attack. | |
| Who has has a totaldac DAC? I'm following along @thieliste Hope some more users pitch in. Please do let me know how it goes if you take the plunge. I love my dac (audio Mirror T3-SE), but am considering moving into the next price level over the next year or two. Am only cons... | |
| To DYI or not to DYI? Usually the power caps are the first ones that people talk about replacing. If you’re going to crack it open, I’d go all the way. You would immediately start to plan a PS cap replacement the second you plugged it in and decided the first mod was s... | |
| So, what other amps sound like the First Watt SIT-3? If you love the sit3 and find that it has enough power, you may consider buying a second and running them as single channel monoblocks. I believe you will find that the sound is significantly improved by allowing each channel to have it's own dedi... | |
| Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4 @adurerca I ran direct to amp for years. I should have added a preamp earlier. Hope you have the same experience. Please do report back.... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @fjn04 You have to go to the driver pages for cube audio to see the full specs. Here they are for the 10" neo used in the Nens:Thiele / Small parametersFs = 30 Hz Re = 5.5 ohmsLe = 0.006 mHQt = 0.43Qes = 0.44Qms = 17.8Cms = 0.76 mm/NVas = 127 lite... | |
| Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4 Agreed. Usually mono operation increases current capacity into low loads. Curious what's going on with the benchmark that's different. | |
| Room Acoustics With Vaulted Ceiling Hopefully commentators will continue to help educate the original poster and those who face similar issues in the future. Plenty of good education in here. Sorry for distracting. | |
| Room Acoustics With Vaulted Ceiling I'm in the corner so that my two-story tall vaulted ceilings are higher on one side (~23') of the system than the other (~13') and this forces me to use balance control to even out the imaging. Just something to keep in mind as you do setup. Hopef... |
