    Audio Engineering Society Paper and Help?

    I agree 100%. You should first talk to the editor before spending hours writing the paper.

    Marantz NR1510 AVR Review

    If using the analog input -> analog output, how would the signal be degraded? Is there an ADC/DAC conversion?

    It is not what I said but, of course, ASR cannot be responsible for them ;)

    "Is Audiophile Snobbery Ruining our Hobby ?"

    SINAD chart is only a measurment at 5W/4ohm with a 1kHz tone, am I right? How about an amplifier with, lets say, a SINAD of 80db but with a lot more headroom. It would land right in the middle of the chart. Newbies would say it's a so-so amp comparing to a 106db one (Topping PA5 for example) But...

    "Is Audiophile Snobbery Ruining our Hobby ?"

    Ok, here are my 2 cents. I am one of the "readers", so called by VintageFlanker. Call me a newbie if you will. I do own an amplifier and DIY floorstander that I like to listen. In order to improve my knowledges and my gears, I tried to educate myself. I finally left the marketing bullshit a...

    ICEPower 125ASX2 Class D Amplifier Review

    Would you consider using one 125ASX2 for a pair of Aria 926? I have a pair of floorstander more or less like the Aria 926 and wondering if it could do the job.

    miniDSP Flex

    I've just contacted Audiophonics and they told me that the minidsp Flex doesn't come with DIRAC software because they are not allowed to sell it. So you must add the price of the soft.

    Topping DX3 Pro+ Review (DAC & Headphone Amp)

    Question concerning the remote: Does one need to be perfectly in aligned with the DAC to control it? Or is it permissive enough to get signal from anywhere on the couch, 3m away from the DAC?

    Toslink switch

    The automatic one could be a very nice solution since it is transparent for the users (the rest of my family). Would you recommand a good DAC with 1 Toslink input cheaper than DX3P+ (USB input and preamp not necessarily required)?

    Toslink switch

    Well, I didn't know it was a niche product. I thought many people had several optical devices. The gap between a DAC with 1 optical input (ex: topping dx3pro+ at 200€) and 2 (SMSL m500 at 400€) is quite huge.

    Toslink switch

    Thanks. Not sure to understand your answer because I did find switches on amazon and aliexpress. Basically my question was: are there better switches than others regarding 1/ overall reliability 2/ signal fidelity?

    Toslink switch

    Hello, I did not find an answer in this forum, but I may have missed the information. In my project I would like to connect several (3: Chromecast Audio / TV / Macbook) devices with optical/toslink output to a DAC with only 1 optical input. Do you know any qualitative device that could help to...

    Time to change: FDA, Tidal & co

    Ok, thanks. My budget is +/-100€ + 300€ from the ATOLL if sold. Maybe it wasn't clear in my first post. Tell me more, I love stories :D That's clear! Sounds good because this little splitter is very expensive :eek: If I finally decide to keep everything, I have a question. I am...

    Time to change: FDA, Tidal & co

    Well, This is not exactly the answer I was expecting :D. The internet says that those little amplifiers are killing all the "old school" amps, so I was expecting mine to be burried by one of those! Anyway, I do understand your point of view. Speakers changing is way too expensive for me at...
