Imagine a topping DAC that throws the MQA license in the trash and adds a Dirac Live license.

That distortion graph is unreal!

As a Klipsch owner I'd say they've transitioned into a lifestyle brand that benefits greatly from their familiar name and the fact that their classics fit perfectly in the current trend of mid-century modern interiors.

Oof sorry man. I was thinking about price to build because the backside looks like there are just a few generic audio boards inside. See AliExpress on 2.1 amplifier boards for <$10,- and Bluetooth receiver boards for under $2,-.

The naming makes it seem as if it is part of the 'The Fives', 'The Sixes' line but they didn't seem to be as bad as this (great even with EQ). This might as well be a $20,- Bluetooth speaker, repackaged with retro Klipsch styling.

As an owner I feel like sharing a little. There is a firmware update out now that'll allow you to upload EQ, straight to the headphones. At that point, whatever you connect to, the EQ will always be applied. I think an onboard EQ, independent of the source, is a great thing to have. As an...

I don't know if I'm correct but I personally feel like hi-res is a better source if you use DSP corrected hardware. I draw a comparison to photography* where a raw image and a JPG that is processed in camera look practically identical but once you start to push it in certain areas during...

Thank you for educating us! I feel it is much needed in the enthousiasts HiFi community.

I get where he's comming from though. In practice, we all know that the audible range is covered quite nicely in 48khz. I just think that the maximum frequency is only half the sampling rate in theory and in a real world recording it wouldn't be as reliable. It is possible to generate a 24kHz...
