    iLoud Precision 6: subjective impressions

    I don't see the relevance in that, other than to show how bad my room is regarding nodes :facepalm: I haven't noticed any hiss at all. Standby works fine, they just shut off after a while (you can set that via the software) and activate in a couple of seconds when they receive a signal. I had...

    iLoud Precision 6: subjective impressions

    In lieu of proper measurements and objective reviews of the iLoud Precision range, hereby my subjective impressions on the iLoud Precision 6 variance. I had the chance to AB test them in the local music store where they had set up a rig where one could switch between most of the Adam Audio...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    Speaker frequency response while uqually good in the MTM's and Genelecs, they are different from each other. In fact, the range you're describing is boosted in the Genelecs, but more flat in the MTM's. This means that you would more clearly hear differences in that region because there is less...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    Yeah, I find the auto calibration a bit too much. I'd recommend using the mics to do some measurements with Room EQ Wizard and correct that using Eualizer APO on Windows.

    ASR Directiva Open Source Speaker Review

    Minimal resources... I know that buying a Klippel system would be peanuts for the KEFs out there, but it's still quite pricey. Then again, you can rent one I imagine.

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    I dunno, if I would have known that there would be such a lot of QA issues and poor support, not to mention you HAVE to create an account to get to the firmware updater, I would have not bought my MTM's. They do sound great and as long they work I will keep them. But my next set won't be an IK...

    Looks like an issue with newer batches.

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    Are you sure you don't have a ground loop issue? This has probably nothing to do with using a unbalanced signal but I have no issues with noise and I use a simple Focusrite Scarlett which supports balanced signals when using TRS to XLR or TRS to TRS cables per channel.

    If you really want to rock the house and show off the bass capabilities, play no other than this one:

    FX Audio DAC-M1 Review (DAC & Headphone Amp)

    Is it possible to add the price of each DAC in the overall raking? It would be a lot of work initially, I know, but it would be very helpful for people just seeking out the best DAC for a set price.

    DSP engineers help me out - does playing a 44.1 khz source file introduce aliasing when output at 48 khz by the DAC?

    I know that when downsampling a signal, aliasing will occur and this needs to be filtered out. But I'm having a discussion where people state the same is true when upsampling with a non-integer multiple. To me, this will not introduce alias artifacts, but I'm not sure if this is true. How is...

    IK Multimedia iLoud MTM Review (active monitor)

    Another tip is to mount them on desk microphone mounts. The tweeter now lines up perfectly at ear height. I have one oddity though; one of the speakers seems to intermittently reboot itself every once in a while. It doesn't occur often, maybe once every month or less, but still quite odd. I've...

    Music is dead.

    The main thing is that music is decentralized. There is so much music being made and everyone is consuming it in their own bubble. It's not like in the 90's where MTV more or less defined what was good. There is no monolithic entity that tells people what's good and what's not. So, there are no...

    U-Turn Pluto 2 Review (Phono Preamp)

    That circuit looks a lot like the Muffsy PP4 preamp: https://www.muffsy.com/muffsy-pp4 Power supply is different, but other than that.

    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    The screen and font is so ugly, that's a deal breaker for me.

    wy speaker correction software that use not linear phase sound worse when can hear ITD

    Why would you EQ channels separately? You're not finishing a mix or mastering a track, your correcting for the room.

    DMS said that harmonic distortion makes the sound pleasing

    To my mind, audio reproduction needs to be transparent. It does not introduce (noticable) distortion and noise and behaves linearly. Any device that introduces distortion is unwanted. But here's always the discussion; some people like extra distortion. It's like watching movies on film with...

    Why bass management makes my life tedious

    You clearly don't understand my point. I was stating that it's no point in trying to account for unknowns. It's futile.

    Why bass management makes my life tedious

    You can't have control over living rooms, so why bother? If a user decides to put his sub in a kitchen cabinet because it's too ugly (yes, I've seen it somewhere), that's their doing. It's not your responsibilty to account for that. On the flip side, I think smarter devices can help people with...
