Hi, here is my above reply in English: “Hello, in any case Hypex or Purifi will have higher performance, both in terms of power and dynamic range. I am writing this having both systems in my home : Purifi>Focal 926 (91.5db given by the manufacturer, but 88db measured on audio.com.pl) and 2x Fosi...

I was replying to the original post, which was in Polish.

Qobuz > Roon server (Intel NUC) > Roon End point (Rpi4 running Ropieee) > USB-A/USB-C cable (1.2V according to Raspberry specs) > SMSL d6s > XLR cable (2x) > Fosi V3 mono (2x) Device volume choice on Roon, and headroom or volume limits.

Thank you very much for sharing "the problem". I like how you describe it. The reason I did not expect the outcome is that according to the manufacturer, the SMSL d6s outputs 5V to its XLR outputs. Granted, it is not the 10V of an RME-ADI2-DAC XLR out, but I thought it was sufficient to get...

Thanks for sharing. I have a similar set up (smsl d6s balanced > XLR > 2x Fosi V3 Mono with 48V/10A power supply > 3m banana speaker cables > ELAC DBR62), and also found that max volume is not that loud. I also had a Yamaha Pianocraft 60W amplifier with matching Yamaha NX-E400 speakers, and...

A lot of items! Many as tested by @amirm, including: Purifi-based boXem Arthur 4215/E2 amplifier, RME-ADI2-DAC-fs, KALI LP-6 2nd wave monitors, Topping DX3 Pro+ Hifiman HE400SE Bose QC45 wireless headphones Pro-ject DS2 DAC & Pre-amp Allo Boss 2 DAC + Rpi4 Roon endpoint Denon AVC-X4800H ELAC...

Has anyone measured the FR of Apple's Studio Display ? Apple heavily advertises its "six speaker cinematic" sound. I do use it quite a bit to listen to music on my Mac Studio M2Max desktop (Qobuz => Roon => Mac Studio M2Max => Studio Display). My purely subjective impression is of nice...

Thank you for your clear reply! Indeed, I have the COMFAST CF-912A dongle. Do I understand correctly that Allo BOSS 2 with COMFAST dongle will work correctly if I install Moode version 9 (currently 9.3.4)? If so, I will take it back from storage and re-install Moode!

Thank you for sharing. Does your Allo 2 have the external WiFi Antenna ?

Hello, curious if you ended up buying the Q550s? They are on sale currently and am thinking of getting a pair for my very first HT project.

Frequency response is -10dB@33Hz -6dB@40Hz -3dB@52Hz. Subjectively, at that price point and speaker size that’s as good as it gets, and, subjectively again, totally OK for listening to music. Besides, it can be easily EQ’d if amplification is powerful enough. Of course, for movies, you need a...

You cannot go wrong with Revel F206. Objectively top of class performance, at that price point. If you can get a special offer jump on the opportunity !

Honest question: what else would you buy for 700 US$ ?

Did you end up installing the above set up ? If so, your impressions ?

Actually, it is my error. It is an RME ADI-2 DAC FS. My apologies to all for the confusion I created.

Please keep political statements, whether intended as a joke or not, out of this site. Thank you. @AdamG

Thank you very much. I did not know about RME’s “bit test” feature. Will look up the manual!

In a 2017 review, @amirm wrote: Eight years later, I am wondering if this argues for adding a USB to S/PDIF converter to my signal chain, which currently is: [Intel NUC ROCK server] > Ethernet cable > [RPi4 running Ropieee] > USB cable > RME-ADI2-FS > Power Amplifier Any views?

Are you selling the HD800S since you don’t use it ?
