    (Help) Audible noise on Topping D90SE

    Interesting. this shows again that SINAD alone is not sufficient to chose a DAC. On solution would be to upsampel everything in software before

    Proposal: Right to Fair Review (RFR) Association

    I would just wait and see how this plays out. I don’t know how the north American System works in this regard but if you did nothing wrong why would you need to have a legal deface and why would it be costly to you. Don’t you have "presumption of innocence"? Sure if you ask a lawyer if you...

    Upsampling 16/44.1 collection a good idea?

    Not completely but effectively. If the DAC gets fed with for example 192ks is far out of the audible band

    Upsampling 16/44.1 collection a good idea?

    Because in the PC you can chooses what ever algorithm you want and you have infinity more computation memory and time available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinc_filter So theoretically you can of cause come closer to ideal with an PC and the proper algorytem... Dose it matter to the ear...

    Upsampling 16/44.1 collection a good idea?

    You don't need to do this before you can do it in real time with no noticeable delay

    Gain setup on active monitors

    You mix up or ignore dB SPL and dBV or dBU But otherwise your fine. Set your monitors as loud as you need to that you can still achieve your required listing level with the interface and your good

    AIYIMA A70 Stereo Amplifier Review

    I know what GaN semiconductors are and i have used them multiple times. GaN has become a blanket marketing buzzword. They are not "more efficient" but if done right they can be used to make Smaller converters or more efficient ones So why should the user care how they get the efficiency and...

    AIYIMA A70 Stereo Amplifier Review

    How would you test this and why would it matter?

    AKM... AKM!!! I hope this isn't what it looks like.... because it looks BAD

    Well if your measurement can be tricked easily your measurement is not showing the full picture. Of cause its easy to make a device that has Ultra High pure low distortion 1khz SINAD but is otherwise bad. That’s why im against ranking by this metric.

    New Ferrum DAC WANDLA GoldenSound edition

    It's defiantly overpriced... but would be interesting to see how it measures (And if it gets a fair review)

    USB noise - USB isolator or new audio interface?

    You seam to misunderstand how "ground" is used Electrically and what a ground loop is. So there is no reason a ground loop curren needs to be 50/60Hz. The Yamaha want a Ground and so is a normal commuter. if you don’t connect them to earth ground and neutral you can get all sorts of EMI...

    Interference with new KRK setup

    You don’t need "galvanic isolation" You need a to add as muss impedance as as possible in Common mode for the frequency range of the interference. "galvanic isolation" is per definition closes to infinite Impedance for DC so its usually good for low frequency interference. But in theory you...

    Interference with new KRK setup

    Classical problem with Common mode USB noise from your PC. Your monitor as well as the PC and its Power-supply are all reference to PE earth ground. Since in the PC are high currents the USB GND potential can have a view mV offset and noise Easiest way to fix this, get a USB isolator. only...

    USB noise - USB isolator or new audio interface?

    Well the Focusrite is Better designed and still has this problem. He just claims its like this but never tests this hypothesis. Actually not many interfaces isolate the USB input for common mode noise. Your computer has some noise on the USB output and the Topping HS1 is a easy fix for that.

    Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II Streamer Review

    It’s probably good enough for most users to don’t hear a difference. But at this price point expect better performance

    'Headroom' is a measure of the badness of an amplifier. The bigger the number, the worse the amplifier.

    You still have not defined "better" More energy efficient. more cost efficient, more space efficient, more weight efficient... Whats the point if you can't even define how its better

    'Headroom' is a measure of the badness of an amplifier. The bigger the number, the worse the amplifier.

    You can not even be bothered to define what exactly would be "better" And how this "better" would measure. You seam to think more power is better? Then how and why is it better to have less "Headroom"? Sure an amp with more continues Power can be called "better" but this is not the same as...
