    Yamaha a-s reviews

    At a quick glance I can't find anything relevant in the power amp schematics for 301/501/701 that would explain the THD difference.

    Sennheiser 560s + Fiio New K3

    You can check the units for sale in your area (I've seen a few K7 for sale a few months ago) or buy both units and keep only the one that makes you happy.

    Sennheiser 560s + Fiio New K3

    Depends on the laptop, I guess. In my particular case, HD 560S sounds better on FiiO E10k than on the onboard audio. After upgrading to K7 I've spent a few days splitting my Tidal tracks in 2 categories: "meh" and "wow". As such, I would say that K7 is much better than E10k (from a sound quality...

    "4 Ohm vs 8 Ohm: Which is better for audio?"

    Of course, if you have the space for them, you can use multiple 4 ohms speakers. However, once you've used all the available space and you still need more power ... 2 ohms speakers can help.

    "4 Ohm vs 8 Ohm: Which is better for audio?"

    Given that the available voltage is pretty low (12 V usually), there is only so much you can do for 4 ohms speakers. If you need even more power, you must use 2 ohms speakers and a proper amp that can handle them.

    "4 Ohm vs 8 Ohm: Which is better for audio?"

    THD @ 4ohms is worse for many amps.

    Yamaha R-S202 Receiver Review

    @dr0ss could you share the receiver's exact model, please? R-S202 is praised for its decent price, not for its sound quality (it has a THD of 0.2% and the measurements reflect that).

    A wishlist of gear to be reviewed by Amir

    Is it worth adding data in the current format for older DACs? E.g. FiiO E10K and Topping D30 are cheap enough as used products (I could buy 4 E10Ks for the price of a K7) but it's hard to make an informed decision based on the existing reviews. From the current products, I wish for FiiO K7 and...

    SPDIF input: Topping E30 II, E30 II Lite, FiiO K7, or something else?

    The intended usage in the near future: pairing with a WiiM Pro. The price for SMSL SU-1 is way too close to E30 II Lite and it's not available in the next few weeks/months at my local shops. The reviews for both E30 II and E30 II Lite are mentioning inaudible jitter issues for SPDIF (E30 II...

    Yamaha A-S300 vs A-S500

    Thank you, I've purchased the A-S300 a few days later and it seems that it's good enough for my needs. I was concerned about any simplifications in the audio path (in order to promote A-S500), like a worse constant current source in the first stage of the power amp.

    Best DAC/Amp under $50?

    Have you considered a pre-loved Fiio E10k? It's old enough so it may reach your budget.

    Yamaha A-S300 vs A-S500

    I've seen a few comments that A-S500 is much better than A-S300, driving the same speakers. Sadly, I wasn't able to find the schematics for them and the official specs are the same (except the output power, of course), so I can't find a logical explanation for the claimed improvements. I'm...
