I talked about "blurred" in the context of TDA1541. You talked about TDA1305 ;)

No one said it sounds blurry??

Nice. The TDA 1305 it is a Delta Sigma DAC with 5-Bit DAC and noise shaping. THD ist -90dB at 0dB and no more SOTA ;) But if you like it...

I recently did between an RME ADI-2/4 Pro and a DIY R2R NOS Dac based on TDA1541. Perfectly level matched the TDA delivered a somehow...

I wrote three short paragraphs myself, one each for treble, mids, and bass, describing sound quality of the dac with flowery words. Then...

To me, that sounds like marketing phrases from ChatGpt.

The same ASA study says that the threshold rises rapidly over 15 or 20 kHz, in any case you don’t need less at 20 kHz than at 28 kHz...

The elder Delta-Sigma DACs (most consumer chips in the market) are 1bit DACs. The most modern and better chip DACs use more than one bit...

Or go back before even PCB's existed, point to point wiring of components for your old cathode ray tube TV - it's the future according...

Me, I use Acourate to create the DRC FIRs and works excellent.

Why not use Roon FIR for room correction?

@Blockader & Redmman43. Well said indeed. Topping & the other Chinese companies offer too many options that are redundant. Sorry but...

Like the RME ADI-2 DAC, for less than half of its price - provided you can still get one. Bonus: Excellent headphone amp...

In couples zones Roon produces timing errors in all Zones except the master. I don't wander about sonic impact.

If you use a power amp for example NCx500 with only 11dB amplification this is absolutely fine.
