Just get an adapter or TRS-XLR cable. I always made my own cables so I know it's good quality. If you have steady hands and soldering equipments then go for it. You're making music. I would ditch the toppings and get a UCXII. You'll make your chain simpler and let's not forget Totalmix is a...

I had both. The V3 stereo is a fantastic device for his price point. I had three in an 3-way active XO system. When I changed to B100s I got bigger soundstage and better separation. No matter how many times I swapped them. Yes it was audible difference a small one but it was always there...

I had a 3-way active setup with three Fosi V3 stereo. You can't find a better deal. If you have more money get the PA5II. The "one box" solution would be a hypex plate amp and it includes DSP as well. One more note if you have a small/medium room I can't image a TPA based chip amp (mentioned...

I would argue in that sense that the separation gets better due the mono block system. For me the soundstage got wider for sure. There is one thing worrying tough is that the electrostatic speakers usual dip below 4 ohm which we know it has a chance to trip the B100's saftey mode. In case you...

Here is my only knob. It can control my Fireface over bluetooth with a custom made ble-midi converter. Okay that's not exactly true I have a dial and some switches on my radio but I only use it when I need some random music very quickly. I bought it only for aesthetic reason and to emit some...

Then fully turn up the volume knob on your M6SI without any input (or shorted input) and compare it to a modern class D power amp. The difference is obvious on a scope also on your speaker if you are brave enough. Look M6SI is a pretty good amp but currently there are better amps on the market...

In case you wanna future proof then just get a stereo Nilai or Purifi. Economically I would still buy the PA5II then with minimal loss I would get a modern amp after a year or two when you feel a speaker upgrade is necessary. Hoping the technology will improve and it will for sure. Here is my...

I had this amp for a few years. Replaced by a Hypex Nilai. I would pick the later one without any hesitation. Probably any modern Purifi would do it as well. The only thing I put my Nilai aside for because I went with an active XO system. One more thing to note you dont need this kind of power...

Once I had similar short pops, but they would repeat themselves every few minutes or so. It was not B100 related! At first I thought it's my DAC because these pops remained whatever I put on it's output but turned out it was a wrongly wired XLR cable. As I stated in this thread before. I have...

You can't sync them properly.

+1 for the SB26CDC but I warn you here there is a chance you'll fall in love with it. Very transparent, low distortion and will open your soundstage you never heard before especially with a sota amp like la90 or b100.

Those are indeed the same 78M12 regulators. 24XX is the manufacturing date code, 24=year, XX=week. (LM)2576 has 5 pins instead of 3 and my guess is it has a heatsink as well. EDIT: Look at the right side of the board next to the other switch. There should be a chip with a heatsink. I think...

The overall problem here is they're changing the design without any notice. The more worrying thing is that they changed the voltage regulator (#4,080) as well which can affect on the noise floor, sinad and so on. Basically what I'm saying here is the new unit can perform differently compare to...

25/19dB gain on RCA instead of 31/25. Written on above the RCA connector. There is a picture just a few post back with an old unit.

That's a nasty practice from fosi.. I disappointed. Changing the power supply rail can affect the performance as well. At least you can still use the 25dB settings on every unit to make them sound the same.

Finally an cheap ADAT expander which supports SMUX/4, 192kHz. D/A Converters ES9017: 32Bit/192kHz ESS D/A Converter A/D Converters ES9840Q: 32Bit/192kHz ESS A/D Converter Not bad but it's not a sota performer.

Nice. During holidays I had so much time I started designing my own multi-channel(8-32) modular dac because there was limited offers on the market. Now with this news I questioning that should I proceed further? :rolleyes: Anyways I guess Fosi still needs at least half a year to bring this dac...

Nothing. It's there for mechanical support and heat transfer.

That was a very early build I think because I only saw that version on promo photos. Looks like they integrated the mosfet next to the caps under the psu socket. One other interesting thing is two of my amps has different white led than the others so probably these are from different batch...

This EMI conversation is interesting. Just a reminder and look at the first post that at this sota level how important is if the top lid is open or closed.
