Okay. It seems to me that assigning those bucks to a better amp is the better move then. If need be, I can always set a "night" profile with a high pass filter in my DAC, which has a PEQ. Still, I'll remember that idea! The list of QOL improvements subs can offer is ever growing. :)
Yep...
Yes, it would be great if you could share your experience!
I agree! Really strong tendency toward the AX 1090!
But I also came up with another possible setup: How about an active subwoofer into the Aiyima A07? I could get an SVS PB 1000 for ~300€, so around 400€ for the whole thing. Maybe...
Good point, I edited it to say "Hypex amps", which more correctly represents what I was trying to say.
And you're right, of course. They're probably way cheaper than other comparable stuff. But something about them being somewhat.. simple? builds and yet so expensive rubs me the wrong way. The...
That's what I was thinking. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Very helpful set of info, especially your educated estimate on the power draw allows me to more clearly factor this into my decision. Thank you!
Man, I can't help but think of the Hypex amps as a ripoff somehow. Basic warranty and...
Thanks for your input! Great to hear a vote for the Yamaha. That's pretty much what I thought. Idle consumption is actually probably less of a concern than regular consumption, since I'll always turn it off between usage anyway. And since I mainly listen on headphones, I probably really...
Thanks for sharing that 64w@8 Ohms is enough for said levels with the DBR62. That's a really useful reference point! :)
Loudness I can get out of the ADI-2 DAC, dynamic even. With an A-S701 I'm back to ~500€ where I was under the impression that the MPA-S250NC would be the best pick.
Is there...
Hey,
after spelunking through the audiophile rabbit hole again lately, I'm currently on this setup, which already screams "ASR":
RME ADI-2 DAC --> _ --> Elac DBR-62
And, as you can see, I need something to fill the gap. I'm mainly going to listen at low volumes as my room is small...
This is exactly what I thought and what confused me about that statement. Thanks for confirming!
Alright, makes sense to me.
How would I "use EQ"? Is this an extra device I'd have to add in the chain? (If so, could you point me to an example of such a device?) Right now, I'm picturing turning...
Hey,
I'm looking to upgrade my decades old stereo amp to an Audiolab 6000A. In an article on some website, the following is stated:
Could someone help me understand, in reasonable detail if possible, how an active subwoofer connected to a pre-out can help lift any weight off of an integrated...
