| Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio? D50, even without power supply is very cheap. I expected bad quality to follow, but pictures of the PC board show good quality with most of SMT components (very repeatable process) similar to Benchmark. There might be some non-SMT capacitors, bu... | |
| Difference between " AES " and " RMS " power of a driver. RMS power is erroneous term. RMS voltage multiplied by RMS current gives AVERAGE (and not RMS) power. For sinewave average power is equal half of peak power (there is such thing as RMS power but has different value and does not represent anythin... | |
| Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio? Musichead, there is no "better" in my opinion, since it is very subjective. I had Benchmark DAC1 before and it was extremely clean, but a still little "lean" sounding (in spite of my opamp modification). My new Benchmark DAC3 HGC, in comparison,... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Ramtubes, AHB2 has load/line regulated SMPS, but as you mentioned, there are losses everywhere. Exact doubling of power for half of the load means perfect regulation - an ideal voltage source, that is only possible with very deep negative feedbac... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need as a copper wire alone shall have no inductive or capacitance at all!Of course straight wire has inductance. It is on average in order of 0.4uH/ft that represents about 0.2ohm at 10kHz for 8' wire. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Power specified at 6ohm is 130W. Theoretical ideal power bridged at 6ohm should be 520W and is 480W (7.7% less). Also current was changed to 29A per channel. Perhaps 18A specification was for the early versions. | |
| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? Dumbeat, I use Firman Elite 20PFI. Built in Power Factor Correction consists of big inductor and capacitor. They stores energy and are able to deliver up to 58A of peak current.Most of linear power supplies take current from mains in very narrow... | |
| Could I be a Retail Wretch? To answer your question, you are wasting their time. What you think you should pay for any given item has nothing to do what the store needs to cover expenses and generate a profit. Long time ago salesman "wasted" many hours presenting car to me... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker George, Where did you find 480W/4ohm? Their website states 480W/6ohm. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker The maximum continuous current capability into 8, 4, whatever loads will increase when an amp is bridged. Agreed. The only confusion is word "capability". IMHO it should be:The continuous current into 8, 4, whatever loads will increase when an ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Maximum current won't double. (It will be still 29A). Maximum current is an absolute maximum that amplifier can deliver. This specification shows amplifier's ability to drive difficult low impedance loads. It says that when 4 ohm speaker's i... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker jon_5912, Yes, current will double when you double voltage, but you stated that current CAPABILITY (meaning max current) will be better. Current capability of AHB2 in bridged mode will be still 29A.Assuming that you meant current (and not current ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker At any given volume the bridged amp will have better current capability.Current capability will be the same (29A for AHB2). Bridging just doubles output voltage. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Plain zip cord is fairly inductive and thicker zip cord, that is the stuff with larger gauge copper, becomes even more inductive while the resistance drops.Inductance of straight wire is lower for thicker wires. For instance gauge 16 wire has ind... | |
| Dumb file size question. n80, I have all my ripped CDs on HD in ALAC transmitted by WiFi to DAC. Since transmission, similar to your Schiitt USB is asynchronous, nothing on the side of computer matters as long as the data has lossless compression (ALAC, FLAC etc).CD DR c... |
