    Fosi V3 Style Preamplifier

    Me neither, I would probably hit the "Report" button which goes to a mod and ask them to do it.

    Fosi V3 Style Preamplifier

    I just received an email indicating a Feb 19 release in the U.S. with sign up for a 25% early bird discount code good Feb 20-27. ANNOUNCEMENT LINK Question: The announcement indicates the P4 remote adjusts "Tone" in addition to volume. Does it control Bass/Treble? I purchased a Fosi MC331...

    ◇ Fosi Audio MC331 ◇ First look and discussions

    The MC331 is not a popular topic...but since I raised the question of how to reset the remote bass/treble controls to flat, I am posting Fosi Audio's answer as it is not in the manual or FAQ so far: "The remote control has a total of 28 adjustment levels for bass, ranging from ±14dB, with each...

    ◇ Fosi Audio MC331 ◇ First look and discussions

    The reviews (and the above spec sheet) say it is a TPA 3221 amp, which apparently has less power but similar specs to the popular 3255 but does not require an op amp. The reviews say the DAC is Fosi's own design. I just bought one, like it so far, but ran into an operating question that for me...

    If tubes amplifiers measure poorly, why are they perceived as sounding better?

    Spot on; and the correct and only answer until OP does a blind test. Five years ago I would have rushed down the "euphonic distortion" path or perhaps investigated "aural exciters". A lot has changed since then. 1st, we know a lot more now about how perception works. "How can I get these two...

    Relikcs Timbre retro wood console phono/wifi system - sweet!

    My Youtube Feed suggested this how-to-operate video on the recently released Relikcs Timbre 60's vibe wood console stereo system with turntable, wifi, and Bluetooth. The Relikcs mfg page and a U.S. dealers page provide more info including that they start at $8,800 for the compact 48" version...

    New S.M.S.L. M300 SE 120$

    Welcome. That is an odd problem. I no longer have my 300se, but I believe the Fixed/variable only affects the rear line (balanced and SE) outputs, not the HP. Do I understand correctly that you go to the "Pre-Mode", quick press to see the choices, go to "Fixed" and quick press, then...

    JCALLY JM20 Headphone Dongle Review

    Parametric EQ would be nice. Yep... I got the $6 JCAlly JM12 from Aliexpress last summer and can confirm that one sounds great and that flashing it to Fiio firmware provides parametric EQ. How to details are easily available online. Flashing lets you program all of Amirm's headphone EQ...

    Headphones amp for Jabra Elite 95h

    From what I can tell the 85h also support only BT SBC/AAC codecs, with no low latency game mode, also odd choices. Oddness is a reason they are exiting the headphone/earbud business. I have their Elite 10 buds which are very very nice. Once you charge the headphone battery and power it up...

    Headphones amp for Jabra Elite 95h

    Perhaps, but for many controlling the volume with huge up/down volume controls on the 85h headphone cups is pretty convenient. If you wanted to control via the TV remote then a cable from the TVs RCA out would work as long as its output is variable. My background is audio sales rather than the...

    Headphones amp for Jabra Elite 95h

    Exactly, but it appears OP has already gone a different route that works OK for him. Often responders to these threads focus on literally answering the question (what amp would you suggest) rather than really analyzing the use-case. Almost any DAC with Toslink input would have probably been...

    Headphones amp for Jabra Elite 95h

    The Jabra Elite 85h always use their built in amp even when connected by wire. Unlike some headphones, when the internal battery is dead they will go silent. So, the power of the amp is irrelevant. This confused me about the OP question (why he wanted an amp vs just a cable or adapter)...but...

    Douk Audio P1PLUS is coming!--Strange or Amazing?

    Rick Ruiz Audio on YT has refinished one in brassy. I think an adhesive fake wood vinyl wrap would move towards a similarly compelling Pink Flamingos retro trailer trash aesthetic. I like the quirkiness, and the strange road-not-taken attitude shown by some of Douk's new products including...

    Douk Audio DAC-Q11--The first USB DAC with Switchable ESS9038Q2M and AK4493?

    Just heard about this from the CAM Youtube and have a different take than most. I think its a great idea and would like to see a more advanced version. 1st, its a practical Confirmation Bias Testing Tool. The Q11 makes it simple. antcollinet and his camp (I am one) will hear no differences...

    UGreen Max5c: $25 NC Headphone Review

    On my pair the pads do not seem removable. All ANC Wireless headphones (that I know of) use pleather pads for an airtight seal. Changing to cloth would greatly change the sound and reduce ANC. "I can not say that are so good in sound just ok I can say. Have you preferred any EQ Profile? I...

    Has DSP turned us into audio neurotics? [rant]

    To this baby boomer audiophile this seems not at all true. To the contrary, for me the introduction of "Perfect Sound Forever" Compact Discs in the 1980s marked the end of the seemingly endless tweaks that made Stereos so much fun. One of the 1st things that struck me about CD players was...

    Fosi Audio V3 Amplifier Review

    Good test, good question. Perhaps it is "worth it" to own the 48V power supply because you will have all of the power the amp can produce if you ever need it. BUT Rated power on a very similar TP3255 amp predicts an output of about 60 wpc into your 6 Ohm Dali's using a 24v power supply...

    Hivi 3.1A DIY Speaker With Sehlin Mod Review

    One common issue when building the kits with original crossovers was failing to scrape the varnish off the induction coil ends before soldering them. Getting the cap polarity wrong might also cause this kind of thing.

    wondom bru5 pc dsp configurable TPA 3255 "300w x 2" mini amplifier

    It would not matter as the signal fed to it is already analog.

    Counter-Placebo Effect?

    I'm glad you posted JJ Johnston's presentation. It is as great an explanation of how signals from our ears/eyes/nose etc. reach our consciousness I have seen. I have posted this same video elsewhere on ASR. The presentation is 11 years old it is all still valid and important. There is a lot of...
