I didn't listen to this particular device. I listened to and owned other DACs that are based on the ES9068AS chip. Listening to DACs that were based on the ES9068AS chip, I was always missing something. Then the width of the stage, then the position of the instruments, and so on. I didn't...

I use the LA 90D in mono mode with Dali Ikon 7. If the speakers are not directed at the listener, as recommended by the manufacturer, then there will be no brightness in the sound. Using two amplifiers in mono mode gives a power reserve for peak scenes in movies. About the Fiio K9. I wouldn't...

The preamp on the LA90 looks logical, as its presence increases market coverage. On the B200, they wanted to keep the input switch for the same reason. Although most of the LA 90(D) and B200 users use only one input. If there was one XLR input, then the reviewers would put it as a disadvantage...

The preamp in the LA90 (D) is rather formal. If you need a high-quality relay volume control, then they suggest using an external preamp. Even in tests, Amir turned off the LA90 (D) preamp and performed measurements. Most likely, this was agreed with the manufacturer. If you conduct a survey...

It looks like the D90SE uses Taitien crystal oscillators. Or I'm wrong?

Me interested in the reasons for the discrepancy in the measurements of THD + N versus frequency (90kBW) from Amir and from @WolfX-700 ? https://www.l7audiolab.com/f/measurements-of-gustard-x16-9068dac/ I have a feeling that @WolfX-700 had the digital filter turned off.

Will you be measuring RCA input and multi-tone THD+N?

Price : A90 -> <= THX887 < D90 Schematic : composite amplifier with (discrete output or parallel OPA) + feedforward NB.

My Anedio D2 from the first batch. It sounds very good. For many years, using the desire to replace it with another DAC did not even arise. And it's not just the sound. It was generally designed perfectly and very logically: 4-layer PCBs, ultra-high-frequency digital transformers, gold-plated...

If we are talking about the apparent loss of sound from digital interfaces, then this is a defective product and the reason for its return. In this case, the inaudible of the influence of heat on the sound is not enough.

There is no doubt that the power system affects the parameters of the amplifier. But using standard approaches to the implementation of the power system, you can achieve any practically necessary parameters. The THX patents clearly define the composite amplifier and feedback design, which...

They all have very similar circuit design. And all are based on THX patents. For me, these are variations of one amplifier.

It was possible not to raise the topic of an external relay attenuator, but other discrete controls did not fit inside the amplifier. It is clear that to obtain an additional 10.20 dB to the characteristics, other design approaches are required. We can say this is one of the approaches to...

If we consider a universal attenuator for a headphone amplifier, then you can use this: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/32831375230.html Supports both balance and unbalanced connections. Does not require soldering a headphone amplifier. Of course, you need to check at the interference from the...

I bought the M500 before it became known about the technical heating issue. I think many have a similar situation.

Instead of the built-in attenuator, you can use this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/DACT-Type-SMD-Stepped-Attenuator-21-Step-Volume-Control-100K-Replace-Accessories-/274146774142
