| Walk-in soundstage Without a picture, I have hard time in imagining what ’tuned resonators’ are. Can you post a picture in your system, for example. Thank you. | |
| Walk-in soundstage This is about the crosstalk cancellation (XTC) algorithm implemented in BACCH. Thanks for sharing. If the XTC-induced tonal distortion during playback with only two loudspeakers is the main factor affecting the perceived 3D sound effect, would red... | |
| Reasonably-Priced Linear Power Supply for WIMM Pro Plus Streamer The issue with the Topping LPS is twofold (no offense intended). First, it generates a lot of heat. Second, its maximum output is limited to 1A—seemingly enough for a WiiM or most DACs, but lacking the headroom to handle dynamic peaks. I tried it ... | |
| Requesting Your Expertise - Best Options - High Sensitivity Speakers For A Smaller Room Wharfedale Evo 5.2. 88 dB is high enough, and you shouldn’t overemphasize sensitivity over sound quality itself. High sensitivity does not guarantee either superior SQ or good sound at low volume. The host below compared the 5.2 with the 4.2, whi... | |
| Reasonably-Priced Linear Power Supply for WIMM Pro Plus Streamer LHY LPS15VA — 5V / 2.5A (max), sufficient for your application. I purchased one from AliExpress. Nice build quality. It stays cool to the touch even after hours of operation and is dead quiet. It has a rated ripple noise of 16 µV rms at no load an... | |
| Is a Weiss 204 DAC an upgrade, or sideways, from a Halo Audio Spring 2 Level 3? Trained ears paired with a revealing stereo system should allow one to discern the difference, as demonstrated by the aforementioned gentleman. | |
| Is a Weiss 204 DAC an upgrade, or sideways, from a Halo Audio Spring 2 Level 3? Basically, this gentleman like Holo Spring better overall except for the soundstage. The Spring has slightly less reverb and a narrower SS in comparison. This is a bit counterintuitive, as the Spring is an R2R DAC while the Weiss 204 is an ESS-b... | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please @limomangus I was like you — I had a good collection of CDs and PCM titles and albums, and I refused to pay for a subscription. But sometime last fall, I gave in and subscribed to Qobuz simply because the abundance of streaming sources gives you ... | |
| Adding Volume control to an older preamp A standard 10K input impedance for the active preamps seems an odd choice; I would agree. Their HP/Preamp series has 50k ohm input but even the higher-end preamp like Kara/Freya stick with 10k. Why, don’t know, ask bud dry! My understanding... | |
| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? performance <> price; price >< performance; and performance >> price. Experts determine what hi-fi is. Hi-end in terms of price does not mean a thing. | |
| Adding Volume control to an older preamp Not a good idea to use a longer interconnect and Ethernet cable just for the convenience of volume adjustment. I’d rather take the opportunity to get some exercise — or consider the following: If you keep the Wiim for streaming: It has a Repl... | |
| Remote Volume Control for my Decware amp Saga 2 | |
| Adding Volume control to an older preamp passive mode is "max 4.7K"). With 4.7K ohms you ideally want a source output impedance below 470 ohm Saga2's output imp. being 4.7kohm does not mean its output imp. is also 4.7kohm. I believe all Schiit preamps (not headphone amp/preamp) have ... | |
| Walk-in soundstage @richardbrand Thank you for letting me know about the various improvements Quad has made to enhance the performance of the ESL, such as increased volume and improved bass. Has there been any discussion regarding the treble roll-off above 10 kHz (... | |
| Adding Volume control to an older preamp The 10k ohm input imp. is standard on all Schiit preamps. For headphone amp and preamps, however, the input imp. is designed as 50k ohm. If you don’t believe me, you could check with Schiit. Technically speaking, I like the preamp section in th... |
