@Hands Have you tried passive I/V with the AD1862?
It's a hybrid and closer to SS than tubes, the heavy lifting is done by output transistors after tubes, probably very similar to Magni output...
BTW I have no idea if the discrete SS amps I built/used are actually powerful, they just sound powerful, if you know what I mean.
Not really, I'm worried why less power on paper (among other things) equalled worse sound, and the thread was made to see if in others experience...
OTL's main obstacle, output impedance, can be overcome by sticking to high impedance HPs. AFAIK tubes are limited in their current output...
A lot of people seem to recommend tubes for T1 and there was also some hinting on here that tubes can offer better plankton than SS. Im positive...
Adding various density foams on the baffle only does not help these, it tones down slight un-pleasantries in the FR but you get this...
well you arent using a dedicated DAC chip which is the ''no dac'' part, but yeah, I think the recent gen DAC chips already have* this internally...
I assume some of you guys have heard of the concept of using ''no dac'' at all?...
@Hands thanks you for the extremely helpful reply!
If this isnt too general/simple of a question, In your guys experience how do R2R DACs compare to DS when it comes to microdetail/plankton? IME...
Regarding the glare, I dont think its a result of the filters themselves but the heavy CPU processing of filters happening in real time, and maybe...
not sure what it is, but it looks like it's 20 years old
It has worst UI ive ever seen in a software, by a long long shot... its hard to imagine paying money for this, no matter how good it sounds. After...
