    Matrix Audio mini-i 4 Streamer Review

    Seems reasonable. If it had EQ like Dirac Live or something like that, I would consider it.

    Would I get tired of adjusting EQ? How do others handle adjusting the EQ often?

    On my system i often adjusted it a lot in the start. Grudually I settled into a freq curve that I like for most of the music I listen to. And now I dont mess with it much, only if I change something in the room, or change a component. Then I do a new meassurement of the frequencies, apply my...

    NAD C658 Streaming DAC Review

    I'm sorry to hear you are having these problems. My C658 is working as usual. The remote works as good as it always has, and the unit wakes up via LAN also. It's hard to guess what could have gone wrong with your unit.

    Post Directiva r1 Passive Crossovers here

    I have a Minidsp Umik 1, would that suffice? I dont have much experience with measurements, so it would be new to me. But with some guidance it should be doable. My preamp does have Dirac Live, that should be able to correct some of the differences between speakers, but still I would like to...

    Post Directiva r1 Passive Crossovers here

    I'm planing to build the R1 as a passive speaker at one point (I'm in the middle of moving to a new house, so wont have time for many months), but would be very interested in the results. I find it hard to pick which crossover to build, so some real life results and measurements would be very...

    DIY Purifi Amp builds

    I run 2.5A slow blow fuses with my setup (230V supply), and they havent blown yet. And I have run them that way for over 1 year, with the amps in service several hours almost every day. As you run at 100V, You would need fuses at a little over double (2.3x) my values, but I suspect 5A fuses...

    Now that Logitech has stopped producing remotes

    I suspect Logitech will keep their promise regarding updates. Squeezeboxes were (sadly) dropped 9 years ago, but Logitechs services for them are still up and running.

    Review and Measurements of Purifi 1ET400A Amplifier

    There are more factors to this. First of all the 130W and 260W numbers are very conservative, taken at very low distortion figures. If you allow the amps to reach the industry "standard" of 1% distortion, the amps are producing well above 200W and 400W. And that would mean 300Watts at 6 Ohms...

    NAD C 298 Power Amplifier With Purifi Eigentakt Amplification

    Is it me or does it seem deceptively clever, the way the brown trace in the sine curves (which is the actual signal going to the speakers), is hidden below the blue curve? The brown curve alone would look much more nice.

    Dirac Live Bass Management?

    I'm not happy that it measures so badly. NAD should have done better. But the numbers, although bad, are good enough that for many peoble in their normal listening environments, they wont be able to hear the distortion. In my listening setup, I dont notice any distortion, the sound is clear as...

    Dirac Live Bass Management?

    I have the same experiences as Bluefuzz, never had problems with sub output, and I even have the volume on my sub turned down to about 1/3 of full volume, and theres still plenty of output. The bass with Dirac dialed in, is extremely good I think. I am very happy with my C658, and would buy one...

    Bowers & Wilkins 607 S2 Anniversary Edition Review

    "Schadenfreude" would translate directly to "Skadefryd" in Danish, which is a real word that is commonly used in Denmark. If I were to translate it to english, the direct translation would be something like "Harm-joy". The joy of seing something or someone you dont like, having bad luck or have...

    Bowers & Wilkins 607 S2 Anniversary Edition Review

    I attended a speaker demo in the local hifi shop, where the listeners were asked to compare these B&W's and a set of Dali Oberon 1's. After which we could fill out a questionaire as to which speaker we preferred. The comparison was with many different music types, and at various listening...

    NAD C 298 Power Amplifier With Purifi Eigentakt Amplification

    Measurements look very good. And they are from the future it seems :)

    Now this is a teardown.

    My Anthem MRX 300, has its power transistors mounted on a tunnel heatsink :) As did the whole X00 series. Later models do seem to have a more conventional heatsink.

    NAD C658 Streaming DAC Review

    I remember a post in the avsforum thread about the C658, where it is mentioned that using Dirac restricts resolution to 96kHz. https://www.avsforum.com/threads/the-official-nad-c658-thread.3038854/page-49#post-58628422

    NAD C658 Streaming DAC Review

    Well, english is not my native language, so perhaps I said it the wrong way. You wrote what your thoughts were, and I understood that. So I should probably have said "I understand what you say/write" :)
