    Pro-ject Pre Box DS2 DAC & Pre-amp Review

    I've owned several of Pro-Ject's DAC's over the years and thought they sounded pretty good. Awesome to see the measurements of a unit that is so versatile.

    L30, Crackling, Sy-DAC1002 Question

    Couple of thoughts. Because the E30 works without crackling in pre-amp mode my first thought is clipping the amp in the speaker setup. Pure DAC mode fixes the output close to 2 volts RMS while pre-amp mode allows you to control the volume output. At 0dB in pre-amp mode you get no crackling? One...

    Reasonably priced DAC with toslink and remote volume control? Or remote controlled analog preamp?

    Topping E30 and D50s are the DAC's. They both have remotes, plenty of inputs including optical, and have been measured and reviewed here. The E30 is significantly cheaper.

    Topping L30 Headphone Amplifier Review

    Update: I received my L30 in silver and paired with the Topping E30 DAC and HE-400i headphone. The sound is clean, powerful, and I hear no signs of distortion. Sound is very similar if not identical to the Schiit Heresy I used for comparison. A few differences: Better gain control on the...

    Headphone Measurements Using Brüel & Kjær 5128 HATS

    Few notes: The 400i looks like the seal is not correct as the bass should be deeper and more linear. They do have peaks in the treble region you measured, but not as high as you have measured. You can still access Tyll’s work from Innerfidelity by using cdn. in front of the URL. Many of his...

    Parasound Zamp V.3 Amplifier Review

    That’s one of the nastiest noise spectrums I’ve ever seen and add over 12dB of extra noise on one channel I’m surprised this made it out of the factory.

    Schiit Freya S Preamplifier Review 2

    I'm confused. If it is a minor issue not worrying about why did Schiit send another board. When is a 9dB difference in audio minor? I'm just trying to understand this from a quality standpoint...quality being defined as repeatability.

    Schiit Freya S Preamplifier Review 2

    Is there any remarks from Schiit on what they fixed and is it going to do so on future products? I mean how do we know if our suffers from the known issue you tested earlier vs the revised version?

    Source computer's HUGE effect on fidelity

    Yeah, the results look overlapped to me. So where is the issue. Both have the huge noise issue at ~20hz? I find this somewhat hard to believe as this should be very audible. Shows that it might be from something else and not the PC. It would be nice to see the same testing done with a PC that...

    M40X vs. HD280Pro vs. DT240Pro vs. K361

    ATH-M50x should be on your list if your budget allows. $150 new. https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50x-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B00HVLUR86 I used mine for years until the pads dried out. You can leather lotion the pads for 5 years and extend their life. They seal well, have...

    Is Hifiman HE400i better than Sennhaiser HD598

    From what I read the Sundara is more of a 560 sound which worries me as the measurements for the 560 are not that great. 400i Measurements https://www.innerfidelity.com/images/HiFiMANHE4002014.pdf 560 Measurements https://www.innerfidelity.com/images/HiFiMANHE5602014.pdf See how the 560...

    Benchmark DAC 3 or Topping D90

    D90. Cheaper, easy to install, tons of connectivity, and can run both XLR and RCA out at the same time. I love mine and really enjoy knowing it measures well. I've had no issues with it either!
