12v Triggers, auto-sensing power and idle power draw It would be worthtwhile to start measuring the idle power of these DACs without 12v triggers. It's a cheap and fast measurement that many would be interested to learn. The spec sheets does not provide this data. The spec sheet provides a...

Going full mainstream (442m views) but this stood out not only due to it catchiness, but also the range of vocals (for the category), lyrics and interesting backstory to the artist (& just maybe an overarching lack of compelling or remotely inspiring mainstream music content these days). Benson...

Amidst all the extremely unique tracks in this thread (that this song obviously shares little with), this song just happens to be posted after a Pearl Jam track. And, call me crazy, but this song sounds like...Pearl Jam, singer and all. Just a slight tweak on the vocal tone and few would not...

Wow. I'd forgotten that car even existed. I put together a small model of this car 40ish years ago when I was under 10. I totally forgot about its existence (or the memory of putting it together). Seeing this picture instantly created a positive sensation of nostalgia before triggering the...

Update: After writing my post, I realized the primary market for this item. Consumers wanting a certified Roon Ready Endpoint. It appears to be the cheapest one on the market. If you use Roon and want a certified endpoint, this is as cheap as it gets. If output is a concern, connect it to...

Oh geeze....guess I wasn't thinking. Lol.

The crosstalk chart is also missing.

Ok. Thanks for the response and further clarification. In response to user BR52, I understand the AHB2 is not class D.

So the significantly rising distortion at higher frequencies is a function of Class D and would not be present on the Benchmark AHB2? No such analysis was provided in the ASR AHB2 review. Thanks.

Can you be more precise as to what contacts you're referring to? Re screw bare copper! Solder it!

Lmao. That's a classic. Thanks.

For those that aren't into home theater, or were not yet into it in the late 90's and early 2000s, the Sunfire Grand Cinema line of amps was very popular on various online forums and commonly recommended. The alternative output option of the front l/r (current/voltage) was also a highly...

This takes the top spot on the SINAD chart for those using RCA outs. And it's cheaper than the 3 that are ahead of it when using XLR out. Impressive (disregarding the ESS hump not present or as present in the other 3).

Thanks for the additional test. I think many will appreciate this additional test b/c the product is really attractive in the current landscape for those who use pre-pros due to its price and the inclusion of DIRAC.

I'm sure your curiosity has you unboxing the RZ50 to hook it back up to test this, right? ;) Also, do you have a hunch as to whether the pre outs are impacted by the amp issues without further testing? Thanks for great review, as usual.

Can you explain the practical consequence of this? I have Salon2s (which go well below traditional crossover points of 60 or 80) and an unopened RZ50. Also, is this something DIRAC would EQ for? A response indicated at least 2 pre pros allow choosing a steeper slope (eg. 24db) which suggests...
