Here's some info about it all

A smooth capacitor? :p

I leave it on because I like to watch the spectrum display sometimes :)

@amirm Could you please do the multitone and THD+N vs Freq test?

@amirm Just to confirm, was the 50 mV SNR test done with the IEM port and not the 1/4-inch output? It's mostly academic, but the IEM output should have lower noise than what the AP can measure.

Maybe @MC_RME can shed some light on the issue?

I don't know about you, but to me there is a huge difference between 1.3 million and 65000 deaths (factor 20 less). As to why it matters it's difficult to discuss without getting political.

If I remember corrctly I experienced something similar with my ADI-2 DAC connected to the balanced inputs of my THX 789. When the amp was on and the DAC was off (red ring) I could hear a buzz, but as soon as I turned on the DAC it disappeared. Not sure why it happened, but it wasn't an issue...

It's been a while since I watched the video and don't have time to watch it again right now, but IIRC the guy, who worked for AP at the time (and is a member here but forgot his username), mostly talked about specs that are not properly stated are pretty much meaningless, like if an amp is...

I definitely agree, and it's quite subtle as well so I can't really see it being that distracting.

Wow, had no idea this existed, thanks a lot for mentioning it! The default style is quite bright and definitely puts a bit of a strain on the eyes in a dark room.

Amir has posted the multitone test file before and IIRC the tones are generated so that none of them are an integer multiple of the others so harmonic distortion still show up in the test. I think the reason why the distortion sometimes looks lower in the multitone test than in the dashboard is...

Using $5k worth of electronics to power a $200 pair of headphones :p

I don't know the value of the output impedance of the 2.5 mm port, but since it is balanced its output impedance should be double of what the output impedance of the SE ports is.

Probably depends a lot on how the situation with the virus develops.
