| How do you EQ your headphones? I have EQ’ed my RAAL SR1a headphones with the new Convolution filter from Acoustic Sounds. This filter runs on ROON (and others) and is used for digital streaming only. https://accuratesound.ca I do not think they have the filter up on the web sit... | |

| Class D Purifi Eigentakt / Mark Levinson 333 / Benchmark AHB2 - Listening & Conclusion Not in the bass I believe, as the 802's EPDR impedance is too low for a bridged amp. You are correct if that graph indicates a lot of 2 Ohm action. Then the single AHB2 in stereo is better. I speak from experience with Thiel CS3.7 and AHB2's.Ne... | |
| Class D Purifi Eigentakt / Mark Levinson 333 / Benchmark AHB2 - Listening & Conclusion Great info. I was thinking of getting the VTV and getting it modded by tweakaudio. If you used 2 AHB2's in mono the dynamic aspect of the AHB2 would likely be closer to the ML. Your speakers seem perfectly suited for the AHB2 in mono. | |

| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real invalid, that is precisely the comparisons I have done, not only with an amp, but with several components together! Read my articles "Audiophile Law: Thou Shalt Not Overemphasize Burn In", and "Burn In Test Redux" at Dagogo.com, and you will see t... | |
| Roon: anyone else experience slowdowns after usage? @jji666 Do you have NVidia video drivers? If so, Windows OS updates may put the default Windows drivers instead of the third party NVidia drivers. When I ran the app and core on the same Windows 10 machine I had performance issues after a Windows... | |
| Amplifier Break-in - It's Real I would be interesting if someone bought a new pair of monoblock amps and burned in one amp and then compared the two. I bet the sound difference would be very audible between the two amps. I had a pair of Benchmark AHB2 monoblocks that were used ... | |
| D-Sonic Amplifier Feedback source I have the D-Sonic M3A 800s. Pretty good amps. | |
| Roon: anyone else experience slowdowns after usage? Yesterday, I got my repaired MacMini with Catalina back (new OS and hard drive). I am going to installing ROON Core on it and run it like you are. Mainly because someone I am helping with ROON is using a MacBook Pro. I wanted to see what issues ar... | |
| New Stereo Times review on CODA CSiB Integrated Amplifier I am starting to like my CODA 07x more than ever. It is likely opening up even more after about 2+ months of listening. I am mixing my system with the Benchmark HPA4, Topping pre90, and the CODA 07x. All 3 are amazing peamps (1 will be sold). I us... | |
| Roon: anyone else experience slowdowns after usage? You should describe your ROON setup in detail. Is is a headless setup. Is it on a computer? MAC, PC, appliance?I had some performance issues with ROON and my PC when I had the client and server on the same machine. The cause was traced to my NVIDI... | |
| Better than Usher Dancer Mini-X DMD? @mikedudd My room is a 12x11x9 and I have a floor stander in there with room treatments from GIK. For my digital streaming from ROON I have a professionally created Convolution filter (DSP). It has made the impossible possible in the small space.T... | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. @what I do not leave it on all the time. I turn it on in the morning and shut it down around 1AM. I am usually listening to tunes during that time. In the course of the day the unit does get warm. It is the warmest DAC I have owned but it is not s... | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. Wow, the Matrix Audio Mini-i Pro 3 has gone up in price. It is pretty good and I owned it for about 6 months. I bought it on Black Friday for $850. However, for $1350 it is no where close to the Gustard X26 Pro at $1500 (I got for $1350 new). Th... |
