    Neurochrome HP-22 - The $90 high-performance DIY headphone amp

    Would it still be possible to have a gain of 3.16 at the headphone out and unity gain tapping off the unbalanced output of the HP22 to the input of the evaluation board? I assume that would make more sense as to modifying the evaluation board which I would guess is already in unity gain. Kaden

    Neurochrome HP-22 - The $90 high-performance DIY headphone amp

    @tomchr Pardon the resurrection of an old (but good!) thread. However it is that time of which I am getting slightly bored with my current headphone amp, and considering building the HP22. A few questions I had in mind, of which possibly others may be thinking as well. One requirement in my...

    Denon AH-D5200

    Yes. 5k sharp peak in certain songs cause a bit of ringing in your ears. However each one of our ears are different and unique. You made not notice a problem. I think there is still room for improvement in terms of eq. But I have not had the time to further measure and adjust additional...

    Denon AH-D5200

    I bought a set of them a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised with them. They are comfortable for long periods of time and are built well. I have a bit of eq to tame the treble and flatten the mids. They are just a bit spicy for my tastes. Id be happy to share my EQAPO file for them. Over...

    Parts-Express DA-Wave Speaker Review

    Hey everyone, been a while since I've been online. What can I say...life's been busy. Anyways, I finally cracked down on measuring my DIY speakers, which I previously was not doing correctly, which explains the odd results. Anyways, due to a number of user and technical errors, I present the new...

    How to make quasi-anechoic speaker measurements/spinoramas with REW and VituixCAD

    Very informative write up! Will definately get around to testing once I clean the garage out. Question: How do you get the overlay in REW to say Bass, mids, upper mids, ect? I've been trying to find the option in the settings.

    Correctly measuring bookshelf speakers nearfield

    Hello everyone Recently, I ventured down the rabbit whole of measuring stuff. Got a cheap measurement mic (which is really quite accurate) and some cables/adapters for use accordingly. My question is however, how to roughly measure speakers while bypassing the room variable. I used to measure...

    Schiit Jotunheim 2 Review (DAC & Headphone Amp)

    Been meaning to ask, on these units that have both SE and BAL out, how are each measured? Like for instance, is balanced output power measured only in one channel or combined? And same goes for SE, one channel or combined.

    Schiit Jotunheim 2 Review (DAC & Headphone Amp)

    Interesting. I still don't see the reason to spend double over the Asgard other then power. And if you need more then 5 watts, get the Magnius. Happy Asgard owner here :)

    KEF LS50 Meta Spinorama and Measurements

    My speaker appear to be flat from the manufacturer, but are they? I’m not sure. They definitely aren’t according to my measurements. What are quasi-anechoic measurements? I’m not familiar with them. Maybe something to do with an anechoic chamber?

    Introducing Directiva - An ASR open source platform speaker project

    I know Focal also does opposing PR on their monitors as well. Maybe this particular woofer does not need 2 PR's so that will just be an extra waste of money. That's my guess. And in some cases 1 PR actually does better then 2, but it all depends

    Introducing Directiva - An ASR open source platform speaker project

    From the looks/performance standpoint I think that's a good choice. The price I'm guessing is somewhere from 3-400. Have you decided on drivers, and how they will be implemented? Sealed/ported/PR?

    Introducing Directiva - An ASR open source platform speaker project

    This is an interesting idea for sure. I'm not sure I can put in much help (to my limited knowledge) and I do know that there are many experts on this forum but will be super cool to follow how the project progresses. Is it decided which amplifier will be used?

    Parts-Express DA-Wave Speaker Review

    A buddy of mine actually has one of those Dayton DSP boards. I was thinking they hinder the performance in terms of distortion ect but that's just a guess.

    Parts-Express DA-Wave Speaker Review

    If that's the case, perhaps my positioning is not correct, or my room has problems. I'm going to try and isolate the problem by setting them up in another room and measuring them a different way. If the problem still persists (which I hope it wont) then we can agree that the speakers are bad...
