There is no shortcut. You must build different iterations, hear them side-by-side and decide for your own. The more time you spend to hearing, the...
I have listened Karajan Beethoven 1970s cycle on Amazon HD today. So far I can confirm all the UltraHD tracks are from 1970s cycle, not 1960s one....
I think there is something fishy here. From what I know, only Karajan 1960s cycle has been remastered to HiRes PCM. Karajan 1970s cycle, apart...
It is the matter of marketing and economic things. When digital came out, most manufactures thought that the best way to convince the customer to...
From my experience, SPDIF with BNC coaxial cable sounds much more focus and less smearing than with the same cable with RCA terminated. So, if you...
I haven't heard them, but 60W class A in a monoblock form with this kind of heat sink is pretty legit, so no marketing BS here. But class A is not...
There are relatively cheap Russian capacitors which is pretty excellent for the price like FT-2, FT-3 (teflon) or K40Y-9 (PIO)
One of the most annoying problem with bookshelf speakers is that even they are small, they require much higher power to sound properly. Most...
I'm an EE myself, but I am always unable to understand the "absolute objective" crowd in audio. Firstly, when someone said " this amp has SINAD...
Hi Machael, Thanks for your quick answer. I have another question, can I power Pi2AES from 5V RPI GPIO like in 502DAC, or I must use +12-48V...
@Michael Kelly From what I see in manual of Pi2AES in your website, I saw an ADP150 as voltage regulator for NDK clock. But you also said you...
Unless Schiit can outsource good AVCs/TVCs from China, where the salary is much lower than US or European, I don't think you can expect the good...
I don't have good experience with passive preamp using resistive volume control. The good thing is they are all pretty transparent, but they also...
Sorry I made a mistake in saying the roll-off with Sys. About the roll-off of the Pass's preamp, it is likely because of the phase shift forms by...
Pass Labs operates in a consumer share of the market, which means nearly all amplifiers have high input impedance (10K Ohms or higher), so their...
