    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    It looks like the D90SE uses Taitien crystal oscillators. Or I'm wrong?

    Gustard X16 Balanced MQA DAC Review

    Me interested in the reasons for the discrepancy in the measurements of THD + N versus frequency (90kBW) from Amir and from @WolfX-700 ? https://www.l7audiolab.com/f/measurements-of-gustard-x16-9068dac/ I have a feeling that @WolfX-700 had the digital filter turned off.

    Anedio D2 measurements and specs correct?

    My Anedio D2 from the first batch. It sounds very good. For many years, using the desire to replace it with another DAC did not even arise. And it's not just the sound. It was generally designed perfectly and very logically: 4-layer PCBs, ultra-high-frequency digital transformers, gold-plated...

    SMSL M500 DAC Only “Thermal Issue” not “Golden Sample”

    If we are talking about the apparent loss of sound from digital interfaces, then this is a defective product and the reason for its return. In this case, the inaudible of the influence of heat on the sound is not enough.

    Monoprice Monolith THX 887 Balance Headphone Amp: New Champ?

    There is no doubt that the power system affects the parameters of the amplifier. But using standard approaches to the implementation of the power system, you can achieve any practically necessary parameters. The THX patents clearly define the composite amplifier and feedback design, which...

    Monoprice Monolith THX 887 Balance Headphone Amp: New Champ?

    They all have very similar circuit design. And all are based on THX patents. For me, these are variations of one amplifier.

    Geshelli Archel2 Headphone AMP Review: another champ?

    It was possible not to raise the topic of an external relay attenuator, but other discrete controls did not fit inside the amplifier. It is clear that to obtain an additional 10.20 dB to the characteristics, other design approaches are required. We can say this is one of the approaches to...

    Geshelli Archel2 Headphone AMP Review: another champ?

    If we consider a universal attenuator for a headphone amplifier, then you can use this: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/32831375230.html Supports both balance and unbalanced connections. Does not require soldering a headphone amplifier. Of course, you need to check at the interference from the...

    SMSL M500 DAC Only “Thermal Issue” not “Golden Sample”

    I bought the M500 before it became known about the technical heating issue. I think many have a similar situation.

    Instead of the built-in attenuator, you can use this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/DACT-Type-SMD-Stepped-Attenuator-21-Step-Volume-Control-100K-Replace-Accessories-/274146774142

    Loopback measurement of RME ADI-2 PRO FS (Black Edition)

    I did not pay attention, since the interface does not indicate that it is the SNR.

    Loopback measurement of RME ADI-2 PRO FS (Black Edition)

    Thanks. Also interesting are the measurements for the DSD, since the RME ADI-2 Pro FS does not use PCM conversions to volume control. I think that it’s worth doing a separate test for the ADC.
