    Topping E70 Velvet (AKM 4499EX)

    When one gets the E70, this is the best song to complement your new purchase. In addition to the velvet smoothness, you get the blackest background to differentiate between silence and when there's sound. :p

    Topping E30 II DAC Review

    It's a no brand charger but there is a "budi" that's written on it. I don't think I was using it before charging the dac/amp and it was such a good dac/amp :confused:

    Topping E30 II DAC Review

    I used a fast charger with my Sony Pha-2a dac/amp and now the unit is unusable anymore. Cannot be charged. Usually when charging one should see a blinking red light but now it is a blinking amber light and when I switched on the unit, there is no more power (no green light). Avoid fast chargers...

    How do I disable automatic standby in Topping D10s on linux?

    Another way for Linux users, install vmplayer then make windows as guest on your main Linux machine (the horror :eek:). After that use windows to disable the automatic standby and play audio. Yes, need to boot the windows in the Linux machine just for audio purposes which can be a pain. Another...

    Movie directors with a sonic signature

    I think Michael Bay's movie has their own sound signature too. The transformer movies, the island, pearl harbor etc. make you feel like you're in his movies not to mention the use of lens flare (lots of it) in the films.

    Never noticed any interference. I have both connection of sdcard and usb stick and never experienced any crosstalk.

    Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

    Never crossed my mind about IMD but since we're measuring based on a single tone frequency as a starting point, we can never be sure the dynamics of music with its varying frequencies can affect how both amps will sound playing this music.

    Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

    Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

    I suppose if the DAC is able to drive both amps to reasonable hearing level say 80db, that should be ok. However 80db on a single tone may be different than driving a whole range of music frequencies. That may introduce differences, yes ?

    Large TV 77” and large center channel 14” height

    I'm using this stand for both my 55" and 42" tv (bought 2 stands). For the 55" almost occupies the stand...if I upgrade to 65"...pretty sure the screen will be end to end of the stand or slightly over it. My center speaker cannot be too high... around 5.5" or less in height.
