    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    Yes, just tested the USB-C input on the back of the D50 III by connecting my iPhone 15 Pro with a USB-C cable. Interesting that the D50 III was getting powered by the iPhone and so looks like this is a large, but fully portable DAC. The D50 III has a dedicated USB-C input for power, but I...

    Harman acquires Roon

    Yes, was surprised too that ASR was not on the list especially considering those that are on the list. And yes, wrote in Audio Science Review too. For wanted features, asked for more streamer service integration (like Amazon HD or Apple Music etc.),....but don't think will happen.

    Denon AVR-X6700H AVR Review (Updated)

    Possibly the button was pushed on the (top) remote or on the machine face to select Zone 2 or Zone 3? If the remote was put into Zone 2 control mode, then the Sony Blu ray source will be getting routed to Zone 2 speakers - where you have nothing, so will hear nothing. (?)

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    I think this is an AKM chip machine. From the serial, the build date looks like July 2020 (change was in May 2021) and the last five digits are well below 7000, again indicating that is an AKM machine.

    I grabbed this quote somewhere, maybe here (?) ....sorry can't remember : "The S/N has the format LLLL (4 letters) MM (month) YY (year) DDDDD (5 digits). The AKM 'originals' were built before May 2021 (MMYY below 0521) and have a DDDDD below 70000 (seems to start with a "0" in most cases)."...
