Thanks for measuring these. This is a surprising result. I had the Alpha P3's in for a few months and truly enjoyed my experience with them. At around the same time, I also had the SVS Ultra Bookshelf speakers, and there was nothing I could do made the Ultras sound half as good in my room as the...

If all of that is too much of a pain, you can use my trial code to start a Roon subscription. ;-) I have a NanoPi NEO2, and it makes a very nice little Roon endpoint.

I suspect that you may have to tell GMRenderer which card to use. This doc has some tips: https://github.com/hzeller/gmrender-resurrect/blob/master/INSTALL.md Essentially, use "aplay -L" (upper-case "L") to get the name of the device…it may not be "sysdefault". You'll need to track down the...

You should see something like this: Just make sure the levels are up for all of the "sliders." Note: you may have scroll to the right to see all of them (right arros key)

Looks like your USB interface is card 1, so show this: alsamixer -c 1

Cool. I wonder if the volume is just down. Try running `alsamixer` and making sure levels are up to 100%

When you login to the Neo3 and run `aplay -l`, what do you see? Does this show you the right DAC.

Let me measure the power draw from the SMPS while the amp is off. It's probably very small, but I'll let you know what I see (for US 120V)

I'm glad to see that there are more devices out there like this. The Allo BOSS2 Player is a bit less expensive as a complete package and performs a bit better: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/allo-boss2-review-stereo-streamer.22916/ Looking forward to seeing more of...

I've not experienced this. Not sure. Good luck.

I posted several times in this thread about my experience comparing the Topping D90SE and Gustard X16. TL;DR - sound quality is identical, but the D90SE may be worth the extra $400 if you need a digital preamp that can directly drive power amplifiers due to its larger display and lower output...

I ordered mine from Apos. They are thinking it may actually ship by the end of this month (October, 2021).

I've not heard those big B&W's in ages. Looks like a great system. Let us know how the DX3 Pro+ works as a digital preamp. Output impedance is quite low at 20Ω, so that should be helpful.

Cool. Do you expect to release a similar update for the X16?
