| list of speakers Congratulations, @grislybutter! This is excellent work that can benefit everyone here and beyond. I understand you might be in the process of filling in some missing brands and models. In addition to the suggested add-on list from @yogiboy, I'd li... | |
| All speakers have a little EQ built in Although many people attest that the analog EQ does not alter the sound trait in general, I am suspecious if that is true. Essentially, all analog equalizers were electronic circuits with inductors and capacitors which shift the phase of AC signal... | |
| All speakers have a little EQ built in Why not, as long as you avoid making adjustments that are too high or too low, which could cause clipping, and the quality of the sound such as dynamics and microdetails remains unaffected. Especially during low-volume listening, it is desirable t... | |
| New streamer Upsampling, which I believe is the subject to which you refer here, is not the same with upscaling in digital sound. Also, 44/192? You mean 24/192 i think. | |

| New streamer I noticed you mentioned the everSolo A6, and I wanted to share my opinion on it. I must say I was somewhat disappointed. While the app does flow better (compared to Volumio in my iFi ZS), likely due to the larger DDR memory of 4GB, as opposed to 1... | |
| Would you buy a pair of speakers by just looking at the measured freq. response? While it's not the only factor, frequency response is indeed one of the main considerations in my speaker procurement. Ideally, the speakers you're interested in should have a home audition period of at least 30 days with a favorable return policy... | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? These two helpful suggestions do not seem to fit here budget wise. the Wyred4sound 10th anniversary DAC is very analog sounding and it's only 4,500 US You should try a Lampizator Baltic 4 ($6800) | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? I’ve experimented with seven topping/SMSL DACs in the low to mid-priced range so far. One critical aspect I’m missing from these Chinese chip-based DACs is the depth in soundstage. Despite having an expansive ’width,’ every DAC (even Topping D90 s... | |

| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results Paul did not explicitly state that it had to be the ’BHK’; instead, he suggested a preamp of a certain quality, akin to the BHK with which he had experience. His remarks from that time align with our own findings and validations with our equipment. | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results The closest reference I could find to Paul's narrative on this subject is a post he made six years ago. Essentially, his comments align with what has been underscored below, in contrast to what you have cited. Could you please provide the source? ... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results @antigrunge2, read the previous posting. The experience detailed below not only emphasizes the synergistic impact of a preamp but also underscores that its effect extends beyond mere volume control. Again, Weiss 202 is a terrific DAC... +1 @pdre... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results Engaging in a discussion about the use of preamps in audio systems and sharing personal experiences to support differing opinions is a healthy and constructive approach to exploring this contentious topic. Drawing from individual experiences adds ... |
