Has anyone been able to compare Diamon 12.2 against Dentons 85 Anniversary Ed.? Currently, I have Diamonds 12.2 for my desktop setup, but I would like to know if the upgrade to the Dentons 85 will be a big jump. I can purchase them for 500 euros brand new instead of 800 euros. But not sure if...

nope, I didn't overlooked. I had the same amp actually and now I use Yamaha A-S301. it barely could catch the same amount of volume without any distortion connected to my second pairs of DBR62. The sound wasn't as clear and appealing as from Yamaha. considering that the sabaj is much more...

Sabaj has the "same" power unless you will load it. with some load it will struggle much more and will have a ton of distortions. that's the weak point of almost all class D amps nowadays.

Still not sure why to spend so much on this kind of class D amps if for the same price you can buy smth from Yamaha or Cambridge Audio with much more (reliable and stable) power, more inputs, sub out, sometimes even with 2 pairs speakers connection and better reliability. the only benefit here I...

how it could be different? It shouldn't be :) 2/4 vrms on every device should be 2/4 vrms. How is it possible that in one device we can get loudness with 25% of volume, but with Fosi only with 50%? there should be explanation of it. @Fosi Audio any idea what's going on? :)

hey, I have the same issue, but not with Ultra, but rather comparing with different DAC (Burson Play 2)

Is it me or the DAC producess less power/vrms in preamp mode rather than bypass mode? When I use it with ZA3 in preamp mode, I can get enough loudness on 45 out of 80 volume level (ZA3 on max volume). But when I switch ZD3 to bypass mode, I can get the same amount of volume when I put ZA3...

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...

appreciate it

tbh Cambridge Audio is a more versatile and valuable purchase. The only downside is the size of the device

could you please list a couple of amps on nCore for the $400-$600 range?

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...

then I don't understand who buys all those DAC/amps if every year topping/smsl produces 5-6 new models with very little difference in specs. they just stamping the same thing but in different enclosures. I would say if the design was great with every new product, but they are literally all the...

with every new dac from topping, smsl, etc. I read and hear, that the new DAC/amp/etc. It should be the end game. but still, people buy every new device just because the new one has a little bit of different specs, considering that 99% of buyers and even reviewers don't hear any differences...
