    What measurements to look at for comparing DAC/Preamp output stage

    Thanks for this! When I say sub-bass, in this case I mean 40-17 (my sub rolls off at 17). Unfortunately, I don't have the means to make electrical measurements, however, I made some measurements with my UMIK-1 after level matching within REW and I leave the room when the measurements take place...

    What measurements to look at for comparing DAC/Preamp output stage

    Hey Guys, I'm trying to figure out which specifications to look at to try and differentiate between two DAC pre-outs. I have a SMSL C200 and a Burson Conductor 3R GT. They are connected to a MiniDSP which is connected to a 2.1 system (Klipsch RP-500m (powered by Emotiva A-100) + SVS PB1000)...

    Amp distortion question

    Thank you :) - If I have the opportunity, I will try it again with some demanding headphones this year at CanJam UK (usually they have balanced for the crème de la crème headphones). All this time I didn't even realise the specs weren't RMS - it didn't matter too much because except for some...

    Amp distortion question

    It's usually my iFi, so I guess it's limited by being battery powered, but even connected to PC (which is still just USB 5V), an LCD-4, Abyss and Susvara can easily distort it even without EQ, so guess it's to do with sensitivity, since it can drive HD650s without issue (the headphone would give...

    Amp distortion question

    Hey guys, Is there a parameter or relationship between multiple parameters that describes why one amp distorts at 50% volume pot when you try to get something like an LCD-4 to play loud, vs another amp which you can max out the volume pot with no distortion, but it's quieter than the first amp...

    How Do I Start Measuring Headphone Amps?

    Hey Guys, Would like to take some measurements for myself, namely, "how much is this amp putting out when I play x track at x volume". I often find there are statements such as "you only need x amount of milliwatts to play at deafening levels", but as a basshead, I get the feeling this number...
