    Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Deezer Connect - Why???

    Encode audio in S/PDIF format

    A RME Babyface (any generation) operating in "Stand alone mode" will achieve that. They have built-in microphone preamp, and the quality is generally very good. The first generation can be found on Ebay.

    autoeq.app Is a Web Application for Equalizing Headphones the Easy Way

    Thank you so much! This is very cool :-) One question: Why does the "EqualizerAPO ParametricEq" parameters change (a little) with Sample Rate? I thought parametric eq was independent of sample rate?

    Blind Listening Test 2: Neumann KH 80 vs JBL 305p MkII vs Edifier R1280T vs RCF Arya Pro5

    Great test! I would love to see a graph with the measured in-room response for each speaker in the same graph. It would give an idea about: * how similar they are or how they diverge from each other. * if the volume level is mostly the same. * how much influence the room has.
