    Looking for Small Speakers with Low Hiss

    When I was looking for small monitors for near-field at low volume, I eventually gave up on active monitors (studio and otherwise) in general, because of hiss. I ended up instead with Topping MX5 and LS50 Meta, calibrated with UMIK-2, REW and EqualizerAPO. I couldn't be happier! Because I never...

I drive a pair of KEF LS50 Meta with the MX5, for nearfield use at my PC desk via TOSLINK. It is just ever so slightly warm, so cooling doesn't seem...

    Buffer size and Latency?

    This is a really good analogy. Buffers are small, temporary storage of data, in this case audio data. Delay = Buffer size / Sample rate So, for instance, 96 KHz with a 4096 sample buffer size should give you: 4096 / 96000 = 0.04267 seconds, or 42.67 milliseconds of delay. Your computer should...

    Amplifier for LS50 Meta nearfield at low-moderate volume

    Hi, For the past 2 years, I've been using KEF LS50 Wireless (v1) as nearfield speakers at my computer desk, and with some UMIK-1, REWing and equalization, they sound really wonderful. However, I spend a lot of time at my desk, and I don't think the LS50W was designed for this kind of use with...
