    Oops. Some slightly bad math from Motu. Someone here should let them know so they can fix it in their next firmware update. Maybe it's...

  5. purr1n liked atomicbob's post in the thread Motu UltraLite-mk4 technical measurements (DAC only).

    Note that I determined setting UltraLite-mk4 output trim to -1 dBFS solves the issue for all digital input modes.

    It would be amazing if CK or LBJ, heck Barack Obama, went on a hunger strike for BLM. That would be powerful and win many minds and hearts.

    Still wondering WTH is that package with the heatsink.

  11. purr1n attached a file to the thread Motu UltraLite-mk4 technical measurements (DAC only).
