FYI, upgrades are available including AMB's analog board with measurement showing improvements https://www.amb.org/audio/kappadcx/

The IC ROHM BD34301EKV looks pricy. Mouser lists $80.50 in the 1000 quantity.

But why does not Denon bother implement support for multi-channel audio streaming into a multi-channel receiver?!? This and way the control software work probably indicate the 2020 Denon AVR software is years behind what's in Yamaha Aventage. I look here...

I've upgraded from Yamaha RX-A1060 to Denon AVR-X4700H. The new unit is noticeably more compact and lighter. Subjectively the sound improvement is very noticeable on my NAD 804. Those at least 10dB (from RX-A1080 measurements by @amirm) in the measured difference can be heard! I am drawn to my...

Maybe also Living Stereo recordings https://www.amazon.com/Living-Stereo-60-Collection-Box/dp/B003UCPEJ2 ?

An option is XLR-to-RCA cable: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=4775&gclid=CjwKCAjwyo36BRAXEiwA24CwGSLWVe9J-Ko7yTxjCFllaqMdLSEXQNHgj12En3epA08dixKPHYL9KhoC8NoQAvD_BwE Please check the wiring before the use on VTV, as there is not 'industry standard'.

I typically listen at a level that prevents talking on the phone, so I have to put on mute. Occasionally, maybe once a month I crank up to the ears pain point.

I'd appreciate any guidance on the following scenario. I consider an upgrade from NAD 804 to either Revel F228Be or Revel F226Be. Revel lists 50-350W as the recommended amplifier power range for F228BE and 50-200W for F226BE. Both speakers have 90dB sensitivity. I want to start with a stereo amp...

The power transistors can run hot and are designed for that. The electrolytic capacitors are a different story. I wonder what type capacitors are located in the vicinity of the hot areas in those AVRs. Normally each 10C T increase results in 1/2 of the electrolytic capacitor lifespan. As an...

The DAC is barely warm at 32C after being on for many hours while in a room at 23C. The DAC temperature is taken using Fluke 62 Mini.

For sale is RME ADI-2 DAC (v1) at $900+ shipping. The unit is in the 'open box' condition. Please e-mail for any questions.
