    TempoTec Sonata BHD Pro Portable DAC & Amp Review

    I was extremely disappointed with this unit. The combination of good measurements, 4.4 balanced out, and reasonable price looked great on paper and I had very high hopes. When the unit arrived, I plugged it into my phone and it lit up, as it should. I didn't have a headphone handy and had to...

    Question about Hidizs S9 Pro

    Thank you for the information about alsamixer. I had a couple of DACs and both had low volume on Linux and now they work great. Does your S9 Pro skip the first few milliseconds of an audio file? When I run the audio setting applications on both Window and Linux and test the left and right...

    Any upcoming AV processors?

    If the preamp and DAC sections are identical, I hope the processor price will be lower since there won't be a power amp section.

    Where did you find the 9028 DAC information for the Integra 1.4? I haven't been able to find any technical information for this processor.

    Any upcoming AV processors?

    Looks like there's a new Integra processor in the works. I'm assuming it'll be using Dirac like the new Onkyos. The model number is DRC-R1.4. On paper, it has everything I'm looking for...

    Any upcoming AV processors?

    There are no reviews on this site. That's what I was referring to. Check out the processor reviews on the site you sent me. There are 14 processors listed on the first page; 12 have 5-stars for performance and 2 are close to 5. They don't have the knowledge or equipment to test objectively to...

    The comment about Windows was supposed to be tongur in cheek, but the laughing emoji did not make it through initially. It's fixed now.:) I'm looking forward to seeing your review of this unit when you get it. That price bracket is way outside my budget.

    Any upcoming AV processors?

    When you said commuter based, I didn't think there was a standard computer motherboard in there. Hopefully it's not running Windows :p For the cost, there must be very good shielding to keep the electrical noise from the computer away from the audio section.

    The Rotel RSP-1576MKII looks very good on paper and has the full version of Dirac audio correction. I checked the review index and surprisingly there are no Rotel equipment of any kind listed. I wonder why that's the case. https://rotel.com/product/rsp-1576mkii

    Any upcoming AV processors?

    Hello everyone, Are there any AV processors that are slated to come out? The only two recommended units are $15000 and $17000? I was hoping one of the big boys like Anthem, NAD, or Arcam would have something good. Anthem processors used to be very good. I listened to one a few years ago when I...

    Hypex Ncore NC502MP - audible hum on one channel?

    Shouldn't the Panamax power conditioner take care of issues like this?
