Are you suggesting what I think you are suggesting?? You forgot the cups...

Well, not exactly... Galvanic isolation is great. Otherwise, DAC manufacturers wouldn't be using it... right?

I am waiting now for others to contribute here... all those bullies, full of sarcasm, waiting with their finger on the trigger to cut and chop posts, extract bits and pieces to suit their small miserable egos.

Uninitiated can choose to continue with their sarcasm... it is serving as entertainment. Remember this paragraph fellas... should read first. "The USB cable will play an infinitely more important task, if you choose a DAC with its USB card (module) that is galvanically isolated from the DAC...

Unbelievable, do you even grasp a 1% of what I said: "The USB cable will play an infinitely more important task, if you choose a DAC with its USB card (module) that is galvanically isolated from the DAC These DACs are usually much more expensive than the one you used for testing, and the USB...

The sarcasm remark was not intended for you, but for many members here who must have sucked all the knowledge and wisdom of this world.... based on the sheer volume and severity of their comments here on these forums, making the environment unpleasant, which is a real shame because I do...

Fellas, Mr Measueremnt himself stated that he could hear the difference, quite easily, repetitively... That simply could not be right!!! Is he saying that despite Mr AP telling us clearly the cables are identical in every regard, he was still able to clearly tell the difference, repetitively...

To make sure that AP readings look good, just limit the bandwidth to whatever you want... as long as the specifications look nice, who cares how class D sounds... amps are light, cheap, have 0.5kW of power, and great specifications... it's so good that you won't even have to listen to them...

Yes, I agree with you 100% - it is all about getting the individual components, speakers and room acoustics blend just right. So important. I listened to C1s a year ago and was impressed with the sound... with only one caveat... there was a specific, fairly low, bass frequency range that was...

I listened to a few Rotel amps from that era and modified a few as well. They always sounded too cold and sterile to me - like you explained... like a PA amp. However, they were engineered quite well and I in particular liked their ground / common returns' execution with their amps and the use...

Thanks Wayne.

I do not see anything inside that amp that could be called a faraday shield. I see a fully enclosed aluminium box and a toroid transformer that, by close inspection, may have internal shielding sheets (but no ground-connected drain leads coming from that transformer). I might be missing...

I suppose you draw that conclusion after careful comparison... with this:

There you go! Surely that's a "blind test" that produces a noticeable difference!

If he is getting startled when there is no music playing (volume at zero).... he is hearing the high-frequency switching fundamentals, and the harmonics, coming straight from the actual modules. Do a test.... place him close to the amplifier. While he is relaxed/half asleep, turn on the...

I'd understand a price range of let's say US$4k. But at US$6-7k - it's a ripoff.... in all honesty. That's a wooden box, two drivers and aluminium-in-oil capacitors (which I actually do not like in this application at all... they should've used the polypropylene film caps). I see that many...

NUC11 -> Holo May DAC -> Aleph J -> Dynaudio Contour 1.3

I just came back at this very moment from the Heritage audition. I listened to Naim integrated amp & streamer. Compared to what I have at home, what I heard today was terrible. The sound was in my face (I got a headache), with rubbery bass, compressed dynamics, very poor top-to-bottom extension...

The headphone amplifier should be well-engineered to accomplish what Amir wrote above... with a negated logic structure... if I may: It should not go into clipping with insensitive headphones. And it should have very little noise/hiss with very sensitive IEMs/headphones. If it does (and...

It is hard to say anything when presented with the above. I think I forgot there for a moment that what you stated is what defines an amp as a headphone amp - specifically.
