    Is anyone else Ok with less than perfect performance?

    - By "perfect" I mean "as a product performs out of the box without any faults". Most of my audio equipment has some kind of flaw in performance. Some caused by myself, some not. My headphones came with channel imbalance. I thought it was just positioning but I can still hear it until today...

    What is this? (USB thingey)

    So I came across this today, and it caught my eye because it looks like a vacuum tube. Then I discovered it is a USB device, and so basically a DAC/Amp but the marketing is confusing. Model Number: 400-ADUSB001 It makes multiple references to "DTS 5.1" in the promotional images, but it just...

    What kind of wizardry is this? Concave mirror demo.

    Does this same effect help to understand the function of inverted dome tweeters? (Focal etc) From my understanding all energy is vibration including light.

    SMSL DA-9 Review - Cause of clipping behaviour.

    So in this review they mention the DA-9 sounds like it’s “clipping” when sent signal with strong bass frequencies while using with inefficient speakers. What could be the cause of this?

    Share your Guilty Pleasure Modern/Pop Song in your archive

    I am sure a lot of users have this, that one or few songs which simply does not fit in with the rest of your audio archive.

According to past information, you can control Mac remotely using: iTunes + iPad Apple remote App, or Jriver Media Player + iPad Jriver remote App. So being a casual reader of "Apple News" I...

    Hi, I had bought one of these awhile back, and it has been in a location which rarely sees devices being plugged in.
