In some UK shops, the M16 is currently on sale at £599, which is only £250 more than these 80th Anniversary Dentons. It's still a leap, just a lot less than $900.
Oh dear. I demoed the DCA Expanse and this was the HPA in the demo setup. I was so underwhelmed I knew something was amiss with this rather than the Expanse so thought I'd look it up and sure enough...
I wish it wasn't profitable to create such garbage.
Hi, sorry if this is mentioned somewhere in the last 60 pages but is the alignment supposed to adjust each speaker with the same EQ or does it tune per speaker to correct for reflections only one side of the room?
I ask because I've been trying out KH 150s and they're louder on my right side...
Yeah, KEF's coaxial approach seems to be the way to go, especially if you want it to sound the same at all angles, e.g. off-centre of your HT or just other rooms where you want some music through the ceiling. Amir reviewed the ci200rr-thx and it's the best ceiling speaker I've seen so far.
But...
Is that definitely a resonance at 334Hz? It doesn't correspond to the resonances visible in the decay graph or driver components graph, and the absolute level of distortion doesn't grow at that point with SPL, except at 96 dBSPL where it's dwarfed by broader distortion that is actually higher on...
I actually meant multichannel analog out, but thanks for pointing out it only has stereo ADAT - something not so clear in the spec. Also no mic pre... I suppose you may want an external phono stage then - still in budget.
I'm certainly happy with putting together and using a setup with a PC and...
I'd expect the RME UFX II to sound similarly good, though with less max volume... Perhaps it outdoes the L50 in some way, or perhaps there's a problem with your L50.
It might be possible to measure your L50 and UFX II headphone outputs yourself using the UFX's own analog inputs, to compare the...
AES/EBU is more common if you look at pro gear (which you probably are using if you have them). For example you could go RME ADI-2 PRO FS if you need all the io (plus ADAT and multichannel output). You'd get better performance, plus eq (I think I'm right in saying this can emulate a phono...
That's such a shame. I was getting close to ordering one myself. Thanks @anphex, @aphysically, @LesterNZ for sharing.
Maybe I'll take part in the next round of UAT if Topping can resolve this first wave of problems...
For those wishing for HDMI input, the Bluesound Node N130 has eARC input and it also has sub out, which both make it an option worth considering in a stereo AV setup. You still get Roon plus a bunch of non-Roon local/internet sources. Performance is considerably behind the Eversolo, but add a...
