| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @jjss49 , Maybe someone needs to put an Echo Dot in an aluminum case ship it with a special power supply and sell it for $2499.99. What do you think the response would be then? | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Back in the day amps strived for THD of .001. You can achieve that number by adding negative feedback, sometimes lots of negative feedback. But it turns out that amps sound better if negative feedback is reduced or eliminated. Just one example of... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works This does have implications for our audio cabling... What implication would that be? | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Yet, using such tricks skews other performance parameters, that ARE NOT MEASURED as pat of the standard measurement sets, yet still COUNT. We are routinely testing maybe 1-5% of all the parameters that are needed for accurate sound reproducti... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. In this case low frequency spuriae due to class D design. Can you explain what class D has to do with low frequency spurs? I don't think anything can make it worse than -66.1db. That seems pretty bad. I did a search on Sphinx. Several us... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @russ69 Those are peaks. Yes, that is db down, it gets better from there. It appears it does not get better from there. But if you happy with it it does not matter. I would be surprised if this was not audible in some manor. R... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @jssmith I think mine is a 3rd generation. | |
| How Electricity Actually Works 04-30-2022 at 04:19pm Things like this are why Audiogon forums are required reading at all top universities offering Electrical Engineering degrees. 🤣 laughed out loud! In my experience many EEs are better physicists than physic... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Also mentioned but it's 80 and 90 db down, you are not going to hear it. Those are peaks. The total noise level from the power supply would be much higher. In 2022 that does not seem acceptable. Is it audible? I expect at high volume in qui... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? I have an Echo feeding an older amp and speakers in the bunkie at our cottage. Dead silent surprisingly and there are no obvious artifacts. @nonoise, to use the typical trope since you haven’t listened to it how would you know how it sounds? That... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. When I performed the measurements of the original Rogue Sphinx integrated amplifier to accompany Herb Reichert's review in the August 2014 issue of Stereophile, I was impressed by what I found. "Even without taking into account its affordable pri... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @realworldaudio I will interpret your response to indicate my post was correct. @russ69 thank you. Some seem pretty worked up here. I cannot speak for Amir and he does come across to me as unjustifiably arrogant, but I expect most who use me... | |
| New Analog Technology??? Producing music is much different from developing a recording format. Different skill set. | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. I am certain I asked the question of @realworldaudio . Would it not be appropriate to let him/her answer? |
