Yes I already looked but just checking with the existing owners that i am correct
No firwmare updates in 3+ years despite having the USB-C port ? (a good thing!)
correct there is already a thread and lots of discussion over the years
Very good video in the opening post to watch - amir noted it was a good watch also...
maybe compression test like Erin does
i started a thread about it long ago, and it is not conclusive how to quantify dynamics but maybe compression is one part
as mentioned before, it is not that
The Harman 2019 curve is based on 711 rig
Which fails to show issue at around 400Hz that is picked up on 5128
So yes it nails Harman curve but has this small fault that should be EQ'ed
So for 15 ohm IEMs like TruthEar Nova, at 50mV output
V = 50/1000
R = 15
P = 0.0001666667
Looking at the graph, THD+N will be fine with IEMs?
Hard to tell from graph a value for THD+N
And whether will hear hiss at 50mV
Amir himself showed a quick small example where software upsampling improved DAC output.
He made a typo here writing 92kHz - I believe he upsampled to 96kHz or 192kHz
Poor filter past Nyquist:
One tool is a high pass filter.
Get someone to turn it on and off for you, with you blind.
If you listen to acoustic jazz you might struggle.
If you listen to deadmau5, you will score 10/10 with the right part of the right tracks :-)
