Smoothing on distortion graph?

Eve audio's distortion measurement does not reflect HF distortion

Hi ZEN GO users, Is it possible to change default meters on home screen (Analog / SPDIF / HP1) to different "user-based" combination?

So beautiful design .. but this device would only make sense if there were no semiconductors ;)

MTMs woofer

Hi, in the background I see MACKIE HR824, which I have had for many years. How are MTMs doing against them? Of course they cannot be compared in lows..

o_O Tubes production should be restricted by law :DD

Very nice. Theoretically it could be half the size.

Confirms my experience that all tube devices are distortion generators.

oooooooouuuu, expensive, energy inefficient 24bit to 8 bit converter :confused:

It would be interesting to compare the SPDIF output of some consumer electronics or from a PC motherboard. Whether such a "low quality" output (probably worse than FX audio) does not affect/affects the DAC output.

Does the rear switch not solve the dual slope?

Balanced inputs/outputs? what for? you don't even need shielded cables for this level of performance...

How are these motherboard´s digital outputs in terms of performance? are they usable for quality external DACs? did anyone measure them?

DAC: AK4621 quite decent converter (approximately at the "Focusrite scarlett" level ) Opamps: MC33079 good for this purpose, approximately at NE5532 or NJM4580 level AMP: TPA3116 probably the biggest disappointment, a discrete amplifier based on this IC would probably end up in the lower...
