I cannot currently compare the measures with anything else: might you point me to where to benchmark them? Or where these measures are weaker than expected? The review talks about an excellent result, except for the “premium analog stage”. I’ve ordered the AVM70 (and received the MCA525 gen2...

Coming from an old (but good sounding) pair of Rotel RSP-1066 pre and RMB-1066 ampli (connected to Dynaudio towers), I’ve just upgraded the ampli to the Anthem MCA525 gen2, and ordered (april 2nd) an AVM70. The old Rotel ampli will manage the new Atmos speakers. I’m not very concerned about...

Argh… I ordered my AVM70 on the 2nd of April, in Italy, and the Italian distributor has today told me I’ll probably have to wait up to the END OF JULY!! A total wait of 4 months seems just that bit crazy, if not for… 1. The AKM DAC chips shortage (AKM factory fire-destroyed) is affecting Anthem...

As soon as I receive (hopefully, ordered 9 weeks ago… and just today I understood I could wait END OF JULY!) my new Anthem AVM70 sound processor, I’ll try to verify if my FireTv 4k stick can output via hdmi the hi-res formats from AMHD app (direct and casting) and via Synology android Music app...

I’ve very little space in my studio, to insert a sub (I cannot go over a 23x25x30cm space WHD). But I‘d like to add it, to complement my JohnBlue JB3’s. So the real options are a Cambridge Audio Minx X201 (appx 290€ new) or little bigger Velodyne Microvee (version 1, appx 3-400€ used). Any advice?

Idem: super jokan ;)

(1) correct: "burn it out" (weaker leds/brightness) not burned image. Anyhow... it's clear leds are not immortal :) (2) hihi... I already had a Technics multiband equaliser in the 80's, with spectrum analyzer, within my "DJ" rack (Aiwa AD-WX909, Teac oversampling CD, mixer, etc.). Probably those...

I've recently suggested in RME forums if they could release a firmware with an option that senses the signal: if the sound is not playing, the screen after 30secs switches off, when it senses the signal again, it resumes... to show that awesome spectral wave on my desk ;-) In fact... I'm used to...

I hope too! I didn't know about the subsonic freqs that an LP might cause vs digital, and the role of these frqs within the burn-in process... Thanks for the info! Even if... unluckily... I've not anymore a serious LP player at home. Yet... sure Dark Side of the Moon SACD will be part of the...

For what I’ve seen in many reviews and youtube demos it’s an LCD, not OLED: there’s a clear graysh background vs front glass. Resolution is not a problem for both techs: the RME ADI-2 sports an higher res LCD. Nonetheless... I’m not scared about the rme lcd lifespan: RME is such a serious...

Thanks for the enthusiastic and detailed reviews: I had just ordered the DA9 and should receive it before the weekend. I’ll connect it to a RME ADI-2 DAC FS as well (great DAC!!), and to JohnBlue JB3 speakers (small bookshelf ones but sound awesome: this is my studio/desktop ring). I will...

Just ordered the DA-9 from Shenzenaudio! Hope delivery will be fast... Waiting to connect to my studio ring (small room), replacing the good old Trends Audio TA10.1 across the RME ADI-2 DAC FS and my JohnBlue JB3 speakers. In short I'll even decide if to buy a small sub (like the Fostex 5"...

1. AVM 70 is 2.0b now and it will upgradeable to 2.1 in the future (board swap). 2. I've read it's fully eARC, so the Atmos code should pass through correctly... but I've only ordered it, so cannot really test...

Anything new coming out from the CES?

Agree on the AVM90 pricing, while the 70 is more reasonable
