    Sound Devices MixPre-3 II Multichannel Recorder Review

    Have we seen their field recorders tested anywhere?

    Topping E2x2 Audio Interface Review

    Probably a niche question but as a synth head, I would love to know if this unit is DC-coupled? I have already decided that my next interface should offer this option and perhaps I am not alone.

    Emotiva Big Ego+ Portable DAC & HP Review

    If you don't need Toslink, should you even expect this to offer more than your onboard jack in either your phone or pc?

    Understanding Audio Dynamic Range / SNR (Part 1)

    How important is the SNR in a practical setting? As I understand, having a pair of kali LP-6 V2 active speaker set which I rarely listen to at a higher volume than 85 dB, everything that is balanced and above 95 SNR would extremely likely be more than enough? Or should I still aim for 106 given...

    GR Research Klipsch RP-600M Upgrade Review (speaker)

    Could this be a unique version to compare the original, the hardware modded and an EQ'ed based on the measurements? I would surely be very interested if @amirm could have the time to do so. At least it wouldn't drain his wallet.

    Sabaj A10d 2022 Version Review (DAC & Amp)

    Add Bluetooth (or some other wireless), perhaps some kind of EQ and it would literally be the one DAC/AMP you could recommend to anyone that listens with active speakers and headphones. Edit: Seems like it actually has Bluetooth too. Really looks like a nice package.

    SMSL DO100 Review (Stereo DAC)

    Without making this thread about dx3pro, I would say that at least on SINAD, there is likely no audible difference. Your peaks would have to be above 100 dB before there is even a theoretical gain. At least, that's my understanding I do, however, think that there could be benefits to go to...

    Topping PA5 Review (Amplifier)

    I guess that this would make many DACs the bottleneck in a system. Incredible performance for the price. Also, it seems like 99% who are listening to music via stereo speakers could get this + a decent dac and then only wonder about which speakers to use. Maybe we should inquire Amir to focus...

    Kali LP8 vs Presonus Eris E8 XT, Spinorama and EQ design inside

    I listened to the Kali LP8 in a store and was very impressed, particularly for the price. Is it correct that there is not a spinorama available for them? I think it would be informative for me to judge them against other monitors that I haven't listened to yet.

    Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Audio Interface Gen 3 Review

    Thank you for your response, I also found this table: Source If I have the HD 560S @ 120 ohms and Sound pressure level (SPL) 110 dB (1 kHz / 1 V RMS) they should need 10 mW if I am correctly using https://www.headphonesty.com/headphone-power-calculator/ Does that mean that anything that...

    Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Audio Interface Gen 3 Review

    Are there any meassurements relating to whether the third-gen has a better headphone output?

    FX Audio DAC-SQ3 Review

    Realistically speaking, should one even expect to hear a difference whether a good set of Genelecs is fed with this at 107 dB SINAD vs one that is state of the art at ~120 dB? I would surely be surprised.

    Do Premium Headphone Cables Make an Audible Difference? Norne Audio Cable Review (video)

    Has Amir done anything similar on cables (wires) for speakers? It would be interesting to test cables representing a few orders of magnitude difference in price.

    AIYIMA A07 TPA3255 Review (Amplifier)

    A lot of people, myself included, have asked about power supplies. For what is worth, I ended with a 96W (24V, 4A) supply from amazon.de For driving my relatively sensitive JAMO S406's (Sensitivity (90 dB/2,8V/1m)), it is absolutely my ears that are the limit. Basically, I have no reason to go...

    Minimal sound setup for 6 months in a European country and back by plane?

    Thank you for your replies, but I had already ordered the A07 before I got them. I now have it combined with a pair of used JAMO S406's. The resulting sound absolutely eats my old setup for breakfast. With a complete system price of 110 €, I am really satisfied.
