    New Neumann MA 1 - Automatic Monitor Alignment

    But Neumann still has no integrated multichannel Bass Management. You have to provide that by external means (PC or AVR/P). Genelec has a clear edge on that at this moment.

    AsciLab speakers are about to launch

    I don't know if I am reading that graph correctly, but I guess it's the other way round? (red and orange being before correction, dark and medium blue traces after correction).

    Neumann KH120 II Monitor Review

    I suspect it doesn't matter much, as the clock in charge is the one in the interface, not those in the speakers, right? I think that sending the right 48khz signal to the speakers can help: It frees them from the load of having to resample the incoming data. If my memory doesn't fail, Dynaudio...

    Streaming services

    I have a subscription both to Qobuz and Tidal. I use them through Audirvana Studio, which has very useful "audio scan" analyzer. According to this "audio scan", the Sheffield Labs CD tracks in Qobuz are 16 bits FLAC, but have a "detected quality" of MP3, 256 kbps. As for Tidal, the format is 16...

    Anything with better distortion than Neumann KH150?

    I guess the Genelec 8331 is the only coaxial (plus 3 way design) that covers those bases and is not much more expensive than the Kh-150. But even being a 3 way design, I don't see it measures better than the Kh-150. I maybe wrong (we don't have IMD data from either model).

    AsciLab speakers are about to launch

    Please remember to include IMD measurements as soon as you can (for the active and the passive versions). Thanks!

    AsciLab speakers are about to launch

    I am intrigued by this. Will it better the THD and IMD numbers attained by Kef's latest 3-way speakers (or other state of the art 3-way designs)? I understand those are better than state of the art 2-way speakers such as Neumann's Kh-120II, Kh-150? Both with and without subwoofer help?

    Multichannel with active speaker

    Samsung S95C and other tvs can output audio through USB. Anybody has tried this with multichannel USB DAC?

    Topping DM7 8-Channel DAC Review

    I do have a DM7 and a stereo PC system. Multichannel feature fits perfect with Dirac Live Bass Control!

    miniDSP Flex HT - Review and Measurements

    Kadajawi, I hope you can help me. I understand that the S95C earc-HDMI output downmixes everything to 2 channels, right? Have you tried to send multichannel PCM from the S95C to the Minidsp Flex HT via USB? Maybe that could be a "secret door"? I am using the USB audio out from the S95C to my 2...

    Topping PA5 II Stereo Amplifier Review

    Well, not only an audiophile term. If you have a legacy high impedance source, the PA5II rca 2K ohms input impedance is not going to be "synergistic" at all... :-)

    Denon AVR-X6800H now released.

    Here are the low level input/output specifications of this unit according to the manual: Analog Input sensitivity: 200 mV Frequency response: 10 Hz – 100 kHz — +1, –3 dB (Direct mode) S/N: 102 dB (IHF–A weighted, Direct mode) Distortion: 0.005 % (20 Hz – 20 kHz) (Direct mode) Rated output: 1.2...

    Dirac Live Bass Control with mixed subwoofers

    I have a doubt related to this subject. DLBC for PC creates a discrete channel output for every subwoofer. My problem is: How is the LFE channel integrated with that? It seems as if I need another subwoofer just for the LFE channel, independent from those channels used for BM?

    Dirac Live standalone for PC and Mac

    I hope somebody can solve one doubt Dirac DLBC, the PC version. When you have a multichannel setup (2.1, 4.1, etc.), do you need one SW for the LFE channel + another SW for the BM? In the "Channels configuration", it seems that Bass Management ("Subwoofer") and LFE can't be directed to the same...

    Neumann KH120 II Monitor Review

    I would appretiate to hear more about how both speakers compare subjectively. I do have a pair of Kh80s (+Monolith 10v2 and Dirac DLBC) in the nearfield (108 cm) and wonder if the Kh120II would be an upgrade. According to the available measurements I see, the difference in distortion levels is...

    New product: Arvus H1-D

    I understand there is no DRC (Dirac or any other) planned for the Arvus H1-D?

    Topping PA5 II Stereo Amplifier Review

    Thanks Rongon and danibound for the info. Maybe it's not safe for my case: I do have a lovely Sansui Tu-517 tuner. It's only output is variable, and I guess its impedance must be quite high. I am not certain, but I do own an Accuphase T-101 which, according to the manual, has around 2k in its...

    Apollon NCx500ST Stereo Amplifier Review

    I notice that Apollon indicates the following at their website: THD+N – – 0.0002 % 20Hz-20kHz. It seems this has not been met here? How would you compare this with the Audiophonics equivalents (HPA-S600NCX and LPA-S600NCX)? Those seem to have quite lower specifications: Typ : 0.0006% Max : 0.001%
