Also getting flawless sound using USB.

After taking a closer look at testing done in the reviews, it seems in my case that the A90D should be used in high gain and the B200 in low gain.

I recently added a D90 III Discrete DAC to my setup. I am unable to get enough volume when using room EQ adjustments and low gain modes. Current configuration is as follows: Roon > Bacc4mac (USB out) > D90IIID (5V, XLR out) > A90D (low gain, XLR out) > B200s (high gain) Question: Should I...

Bacch4mac

Just received my D90 III Discrete and inserted in place of my MiniDSP SHD. I was able to run everything in low gain without optimal room correction (ORC) turned on. With ORC on, I had to switch the B200s to high gain. Roon > Bacc4mac (USB out) > D90IIID (5V, XLR out) > A90D (low gain, XLR...

Thank you for the measurements!

18' wide by 20' deep with a pitched ceiling to second story height. Back of the room is open to the rest of the house. I am using Roon Volume leveling and BACCH room correction which have the effect of reducing the volume level. I am also using a Peachtree GaN-1 amplifier with no preamp. I...

Not sure this applies in my situation although it may. I have used DL in the past and adjusted accordingly. However, I am now using BACCH-ORC. The room correction is measured at the ears and applied within the BACCH software. This is output from the Mac to the SHD as PCM via USB. I assumed...

I asked the question about PCM because I have the SHD set at 0db for PCM output. My configuration has been: Mac Mini (Roon Endpoint) running Bacch4mac USB > MiniDSP SHD coax(PCM out) > Peachtree GaN 1. With the room correction and volume leveling I can hit a maximum peak of 87db. Recently, I...

I have a MiniDSP SHD which I am running XLR into the A90D which I have set at high gain. Based on Amir's review of the SHD, I have the SHD's gain set at -6.5db to avoid clipping the output signal. I believe this puts the voltage level at around 3.75 volts. Is this a problem for the A90D given...

In Amir's review he indicated that the SHD would clip at anything over -6.5db for XLR out. Is this also true for a PCM signal out? Edit: Amir indicated that it clips at 0db and that -6.5db is the "normal" volume. Apologies for the misinterpretation.

I have a pair of B200s arriving in a couple of days. My configuration: Mac Mini (Roon Endpoint) running Bacch4mac USB > MiniDSP SHD XLR > Topping A90 Discrete XLR > Topping B200s. Here is the spec for the A90D I am looking for suggestions on how to configure gains for this setup. My first...

If power is a concern, won't the LA90D in bridged low gain mode give you almost identical performance from a SINAD, distortion perspective? Just wondering how the B200s would compare to a pair of LA90Ds in bridged mode.
