    Ending the Windows Audio Quality Debate

    The first thing I see is that you didn't specify how you play music. For example, let's say you only play music with Foobar, you would just have to use the ASIO output to your Topping E30, and having this option enable or not (even if you don't the option) wouldn't change anything

    Audio Precision APx516B Review

    Thanks @johny_2000 , I thought that APx500 FLEX was allowing to select two drivers, especially as it's not linked to a AP device

    Audio Precision APx516B Review

    I don't understand why you didn't simply use the RME ASIO driver in the Output configuration of APx500 FLEX, and the Comtrue ASIO driver for the Cosmos ADC in the Input configuration part. It would avoid using ASIO between APx500 FLEX and FlexASIO and WASAPI between FlexASIO and both devices...

    Topping E2x2 Audio Interface Review

    Are you sure? On AliExpress at this moment, it's $215 and you can use a code for -$20, so $195 and shipping is shown as free to USA

    E1DA Cosmos ADC

    It does not do the same, it does the exact opposite ;) With ASIO4ALL, ASIO is used between software and ASIO4ALL (and WDM between ASIO4ALL and the audio interface) With ASIO Bridge, ASIO is used between ASIO Bridge and the audio interface (and WDM between software and ASIO Bridge)

    Beta Test: Multitone Loopback Analyzer software

    Hi, If you have the "Dac8 Stereo", I think that it doesn't work, but with the "Dac8 Pro", it should be OK if you use mode 2: Computer -> DAC8 Pro USB Output -> DAC8 Pro Analog -> ADC Input -> ADC AES Output -> DAC8 Pro AES Input -> DAC8 Pro USB Input -> Computer In Multitone Analyzer, you...

    Thanks Ivan, I will try it too.

    E1DA Cosmos ADCiso Review

    Thanks, it appears that I didn't follow the discussion these last weeks and didn't see the latest messages. I already did some firmware updates for the Cosmos ADC, so this part is OK, what I'm just don't understand is why your attached piece is not the same firmware than the one that Ivan...

    E1DA Cosmos ADCiso Review

    I must have missed this firmware then, where can I download it? The firmware I updated the last time is one that offers the Masterclock on an internal pin, but it doesn't offer SPDIF signal directly

    RME Babyface Pro FS Portable Interface Review

    Indeed, USB power supply depends on standards. I don't know if they could do it with USB 2.0 but the Apollo Solo, as an example of a "low channel count interface", need at least a USB 3.0 connection to make it work, and it's not for power supply because you have to use it with a external power...

    What Output and Input are you looping here? The L RCA output and the front jack input?

    Audio Precision APx516B Review

    Indeed, but just to create a "proof" that it's perfect for that, it would be great if @amirm can measure an amp that he already measured with the APx555, and see if the result is exactly the same with this APx516b and with the APx555. Obviously, it has to be an amp in the 80 to 105dB SINAD...

    Audio Precision APx516B Review

    If you used the 43Vrms, I understand now. And yes, one XLR Y-cable to use the mono mode of the Cosmos ADC should allow you to get far better results for things like DACs

    Audio Precision APx516B Review

    Hi, I'm a bit surprised that you can't get more than 113dB with a D90. Amir measured it at 120 (not 122), and you should be around that too. The last device I measured was at 118 on ASR, and that's what I got with the Cosmos ADC alone (without using the APU and Scaler) And regarding the...

    MOTU UltraLite-mk5 Review (Audio Interface)

    Hi, you can do like you want, it won't change anything for a short distance or not very noisy environment. The only thing to not do is creating a link Ring on TRS and anything on RCA (and for sure, between Tip on TRS/RCA and Shield) The simple thing for you would be to solder both wires on...

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    I forgot one thing in the previous post: when you see 4.95Vrms, if you send the same signal but via USB, what do you get? And to be clear, I was saying that you don't see any voltage, I was saying that the DL200 is supposed to provide 4.95V output at full volume, feeded by a signal of 0dB or...

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    Hi would be great to know what the real problem is, because measuring more than 4V on the output of the DAC doesn't mean that there is clipping somewhere in the path. There are a lot of audio interface that, even if you feed with a -5dB signal, can output 6 or 7V for example, and there is no...

    Beta Test: Multitone Loopback Analyzer software

    Indeed, it looks great, but don't forget that it was done on MTA 1.0.6, one the first versions, and the results have been adjusted since. I have a DAC+ADC combo that was almost at -124 TD+N in a old version of MTA and it's only -118 now (but this -118 looks more accurate compared to what Amir...

    SMSL D400ES DAC Review

    I'm not sure that @eyes-on-you is talking about this extension. I've already saw enough examples where some people talk about extended frequency range (so what you're answering to), but also some talking about the longest extension of the flat response, but only in the audible range. Now, like...

    Sonos Five Smart Speaker Review

    Hi Amir, Not sure if it works for all Sonos speakers, but there was a trick to avoid latency with Line-in use. Latency comes from network buffering to play in sync with multiple speakers. If you set it via Ethernet (not WiFi), and then disconnect the cable, it will not see any network and won't...
