    Luxsin X9 Smart Stereo DAC & Preamp

    Can the Luxsin X9 accept a 2.1 (Left, Right, Sub) digital signal from a source (such as a PC running Dirac Live Processor with DLBC), and then output all three channels separately(Left and Right to my main amp, and the Sub channel to my subwoofer via its dedicated sub out?) Or, is the Luxsin’s...

    Luxsin X9 Smart Stereo DAC & Preamp

    I’ve been looking for a one-box DAC/preamp that ticks four specific boxes: Top-tier DAC performance Top-tier preamp quality(for digital sources) True analog volume control A dedicated subwoofer output After two weeks of research, Luxsin X9 is the only unit I’ve found that covers all four. The...

    Genelec speaker standby issue

    Are both speakers connected to the same wall plug? If not,, and since the replacement speaker behaves the same, it might be something with the power at that spot. Maybe try swapping the two speakers and see if the issue stays in the same place or follows the speaker.

    180.000€

    Why one would need such high spl in a studio environment? Especially when the listening is usually near field?

    Luxsin X9 Smart Stereo DAC & Preamp

    Amirs reply, now that I read it again, leaves indeed that to be intended. But how can we have the preamp SINAD when using digital sources?

    Luxsin X9 Smart Stereo DAC & Preamp

    I use a Topping E30 DAC with a Topping Pre90 preamp and was planning to buy a sub and integrate it with DLBC. So I was thinking of replacing my two current devices with a miniDSP Flex or an RME ADI-2. Both devices lack analog volume control. miniDSP has no onboard PEQ (not a big deal for me...

    Luxsin X9 Smart Stereo DAC & Preamp

    Impressive execution by Luxsin with an excellent SINAD, great overall measurements, and a complete feature set. Price is indeed on the higher side. But are there any other devices out there that combine top-tier DAC and preamp performance, headphone amp, analog volume control, balanced...

    Help choosing column speakers

    It's possible that your current condition is playing a role in how you're perceiving the sound of these speakers. Especially considering your history with ear sensitivity and tinnitus. Even if the fatigue is the main culprit, I still wonder how much better things can realistically get. I...

    Best possible audio upgrade you can buy for £60

    I visited an ear doctor recently so to have a routine check of my hearing. I asked him to clean my ears as well and he replied that there was 0 wax to clean. I was surprised and asked him how this could be possible as last time I visited an ear doctor was like 25 years ago. And he replied what...

    AsciLab speakers are about to launch

    So from what I understand the most economic closest to tower option would be C6C($4,995 )+BX8C($5,995) when available. I also understand that BX8C extension can only be combined with C6C, and not with any of the smaller models. Is this correct? Are there any future plans in developing a fully...

    Stereophile doubles down on the snake oil!

    Considering that I don’t personally know anyone with a hi-fi system, and that younger generations tend to favor Bluetooth speakers or soundbars, it’s easy for me to assume the cable business is in decline. Yet the recent Munich Audio Show told a different story: not only was the number of...

    Radiant Acoustics Clarity 6.2 - Purifi based compact speaker

    Both speakers have the same twitter. Bigger model has a waveguide and these dispersion fins, which are not present on 4.2 as according Radiant acoustics there are not necessary(due to the size of the cabinet I understood). I had the chance to listen both speakers during the Munich audio show and...

    Neumann KH 310A Review (Powered Monitor)

    Thanks for all the responses which are indeed very helpfull. Most of you keep bringing the SPL factor while I made clear it is not a concern since my first post though. I was also never arguing against using these in a home setup at 3+ meters. I am just trying to get a clearer picture of what...

    Neumann KH 310A Review (Powered Monitor)

    The KH 310 is capable of 110.3 dB SPL at 1m. That's more than enough for large living rooms, and more than many floorstanders rated for farfield use. So it’s hard to believe Neumann’s suggested listening distance has anything to do with output limits. That leads me to believe their 1.5–2.5m...

    Neumann KH 310A Review (Powered Monitor)

    Thanks for the feedback. It’s good to hear they’re working well for some of you even at >3m. Speakers are optimized for near to midfield distances and this is a documented fact in Neumann’s own literature though. And I’m just trying to make sense of the distance recommendations Neumann gives...

    Neumann KH 310A Review (Powered Monitor)

    I understand that spl and headroom is not a concern when using these on a 30sq meters living room environment with a listening distance bigger than the one manufacturer sets as ideal. What makes them less adequate for such usage is drivers integration and imaging coherence. Meaning that these...
