yeah i was planning to do that at first but was not sure if it had isolated grounds since they were so cheap. but contacted the official...

The best option would be to get a DAC with a volume control and get rid of the preamp.

Well no, not to every impedance! I meant it could be current limited to say 160mA (which L7 shows still performs fine) while leaving...

The circuit seems perfectly capable of driving low impedance headphones at 3v, any idea why 1.25v was chosen for them?

I actually wrote the driver for this headphone amplifier at Apple which was my last job there around 2020. It was done during the Covid...

Kate Bush at the Hammersmith Odeon had a helicopter descending from the circle to the stalls. Not to mention the full size tree falling...

There are business implications to Stereophile's recent decision to drop comments. Namely, their web traffic will likely drop between...

You seem to be talking about multiple subs, not a DBA. A double bass array has four or more subs on the front wall and the same on the...

Say you plug some 300ohm headphones into an extension cord, plug the cord into the MacBook, remove the headphones and replace them with...

The ML is omni in the bass, symmetric horizontally in mid and treble, and not a perfect line source vertically.

On that the research is clear: the more speakers you have, the less their tonality matters. The intuition is that with e.g. 5 speakers...

This is exactly what I was referring to when mentioning limitations of the research! The research we have is about speakers with omni...

I have the opposite view ;) Turntables have no hope of approaching the fidelity of digital, so they shouldn't even try. Vinyl...

We all know the original research has its limitations, and it can and should be interesting to discuss those. If you can dig out the...

I suppose there’d be some merit in comparative testing, but at an absolute level the performance is so bad it’s worse than even the...
