The manufacturer’s own measurements aren’t anything amazing (see post #4), so independent measurement would only be to confirm they are not even worse than this.
Price is low for the power on offer so it has a place in the value chain, but are you hoping the amp measures even better?
I’ve got moOde running:
- moOde on an RPi3B
- camilladsp setup to do active crossover, EQ and convolution. (Crossover, eq and channel maps all setup from within MoOde’s GUI)
- 8 channel output to a minidsp UDIO-8 plugged into the USB port
(it has an Xmos 208 inside. Linux sees it as a...
Agree completely. Going back to Amir's opening post, I've had a go at summarising what has unfolded over the last 16 pages, for the 2 channel and 8 channel options.
TLDR:
2 channel is largely solved with Moode/CamillaDSP and existing hardware that can be done for low cost yet high SINAD...
Pi4 doesn’t need cooling for audio - I have one without any heat sink at all that does audio and runs a 4k photo slideshow simultaneously and it’s fine.
I see it a bit differently. The mini computer (rpi, etc) with software (moode, which includes Camilladsp) and a 2 channel output (USB or hat dac) is solved technically and I think we are at the point of discussing aesthetics.
- multiple boxes hooked to a computing device that runs Moode...
I have a Eddie Current Zana Deux, which is one of the highly regarded single ended tube OTL amps for high impedance cans. Head-fi and SBAF speak very highly of these FWIW.
I do happen to be selling it as I’m downsizing. Comes with lots of tubes for tube rolling too - if you’re interested drop...
Minimum order quantity of 500 from parts express.
Googling I found Components-Shop.hk which has 2600 in stock and suggesting a price of $7.19 each. Each BXT module has 8 drivers (4 front, 2 each side, zero on the back), so this would be circa $150 for 2 BXTs of drivers and several times that...
The hearing test is just a series of different frequency beeps in each ear that you press a button to capture when you can hear it, generating a threshold of hearing curve.
it’s a really simple test and the only challenge is generating a known reference volume. I haven’t tried any but there are...
@Jose Hidalgo any measurements or feedback regarding the quality of the AliExpress box? Can you hear hiss from your speakers when you turn the amp up without a signal?
