    Sparkos SS3602 Opamp Rolling In Fosi P4

    or just slap 40 NE5532 per channel onto a board directly and use it straight as an amplifier. for less than a single sparko its only 20w tho and gets pretty toasty but performs good enough for me ( i know wrong scaling and horrible measurement hardware :/)

    Does Op-amp Rolling Work?

    just two 10mF caps between V+ V- to gnd and two resistors for balancing so i can use a virtual ground and not needing a dual rail supply

    Does Op-amp Rolling Work?

    i wanted to try it myself. my test: a simple gain=1 buffer like in 99% of dac and amps supplied by a normal 12v wall wart psu with some caps. i recorded 4 tracks on my audio interface to have the same clock on adc and dac. test music was a 27mb FLAC played trough foobar2000. ive put a NE5532...

    Topping PA5 Review (Amplifier)

    this class-d amp has 4 outputs, two for each channel, the amplified signal and the amplified signal but inverted 180° in addition... both outputs are floating at around half the supply voltage! but your speakers only see the difference not the absolute, so its fine. but dont touch one wire to...

    Topping PA5 Review (Amplifier)

    the chip used is capable of driving 2 ohm loads but the output filters are not made for that, but with PFFB it should correct for that. its most likely gonna work no problem. just never connect the negative terminals together like some subwoofer high-level input boards do.

    Topping B100 Amplifier Review

    im really curious to see whats hiding below that heat sink. either they came up with a discrete power amp or its some off the shelf chip like the LM3886 but smaller or just a bunch of good opamps in parallel to drive low impedances

    Behringer EP2500 Stereo Amplifier Review

    Horrible, powerful but horrible. I heard from several people i know that are into hifi (subjective hifi...) that those t.amps are the real deal. one even claiming his t.amp sound better than his mcintosh. but on the other hand one claimed that this radio antenna looking cable made a world of...

    Shouldn't we upgrade the 20-20 audible range ?!

    if you increase the SPL enough you can feel any inaudible frequency, just work on a ultrasonic cleaner for a while and your ears feel fatigued and have pressure on them, even tho you just hear the slight buzz from cavitation not the actual hundreds of watts of ultrasound.

    Poll for Topping PA5 owners only please.

    Remove the module from the PA5 board then heat it using hot air to about 330.. 370°C (start low, if it doesnt work, increase), then the compound becomes brittle. you can pry it away piece by piece with a toothpick or tweezers but beware, components make come off aswell and the housing of the...
