the whole numbers are fine and good, but still, even with 80dB Sinad, the bottleneck is your speakers :) You will not hear ANY differences between 80db sinad and 100db sinad even with high-end speakers. also, we need to consider the ambient sound of the room while listening. so, why be mad about...
is it only me who has an issue with the ON/OFF functionality of the amp? I know that I need to hold it for 3-5 secs to turn on/off, but often the knob just ignores the action and I need to try 3-4 times every time. it may sound like a minor issue, but makes me nervous from time to time.
Just got this little one from amazon.nl. With a 10% coupon from Amazon and a 15% coupon that I got from the Fosi website, it cost me just 110 euros with a 48v power supply. Decided to take a quick test and compare it with my Yamaha A-S301. I use Burson Play V5 as a preamp. The main reason for...

smth wrong with his review. I own a pair of Aurora 300 for nearfield listening on my desktop. Never noticed any cabinet resonances or weir issues. they are built like a tank. the quality is on par with Wharfedale Evo 4.1
HPF is not a silver bullet. Sometimes it's better not to use HPF at all while listening to music. Movies are a completely different story. Here is the short text about HPF from one of the best subs brand...
everybody talks about PEQ (why even by audiophile device if you need PEQ?), but nobody talks about sound and comparisons. Just curious why somebody will buy a device with a dedicated DAC chip and bother with EQ that adds software interference to the sound and return the sound quality back to a...
