| Holo Audio May DAC I haven’t tried single ended. SE will probably sound better, because I don’t believe Holo use "dual" discrete banks of R2R resistors per channel to get true balanced. I think they are single bank of R2R resistors per channel for the SE output, the... | |

| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? timlub1,865 posts05-08-2021 10:31am@jeales Your statement about frequency response varies by load on class D amps is not necessarily trueI believe it is, as the best I’ve heard Belcanto M600 monoblocks (NC500) is through a very benign 6ohm 2 way s... | |
| CD vs FLAC stored on flash drive vs streaming I've used Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs They were all I ever used, but you have to watch out, because many being sold are fakes, then found other ones just as good. Now I don't bother with copying just get the original retail uncompressed versions if any, ... | |
| CD vs FLAC stored on flash drive vs streaming I was able to repair couple of unreadable CD by copying them to CD-R. It took long time (couple of hours for one CD) but got recovered working copies.

Hence, the perceived sound of the amplifier can vary with each speaker.This Stereophile image of PS Audio’s Stellar M-1200 shows it well damped and relatively immun... | |
| CD vs FLAC stored on flash drive vs streaming The first retail stamped cd will have some error correcting, this substitutes the unreadable pit for what came before it be it 0 or 1, so it has a 50% of getting it right.Every copied cd has the same each way bet with that original error, and then... | |

| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? George, those Class D Audio USA amps look nice, but boy are they butt ugly. Yes not the best looking, but what’s inside is what counts, they "could" be as good as $5k ones for just $699Otherwise if all that’s important is the look, then I call tho... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? Underwood HiFi was launching a 200Wpc GAN amp for $3000 under the LSA And don't throw this new one away yet just because it's very inexpensive.

| True or False? We all can agree that even the best speakers respond to room placement but is it true or not true in (your experiences) that the better your audio components are, the less they respond to various tweaks? Totally agree to placement (as they are mea... | |
