In a hypothectical case, say you have a room that has certain room acoustics. Will the sound spectrum that leaks to your neighbors be impact by the room? If there is a resonance at 60 Hz, for example, would the sound on the other side of the wall have this same peak? Or is the sound that leaks...

I've moved into a new place and will set up a home cinema room. I want to make sure we don't disturb the neighbors and they are willing to let me do some measurements. Before I do this, I want to make sure I'm measuring the correct thing. My current plan is to generate pink noise at sufficient...

Soon I'll be moving into a new house where I want to set up a home theater. The house has direct neighbors on both sides, but is relatively new (built +-10y ago). Between the me and the neighbors, there is 2x 15cm silicate stone (1750kg/m3) separated by 2 cm mineral wool insulation. The sound...

I have some confusion about information I find on this site. On one side, in the Wiim Mini review the internal DAC is seen as not good (84dB). But on the other hand others mention that noise at -84dB cannot be heard. Is there a real-world difference between a 140dB DAC and the Wiim DAC? Or do...

I want to have a simple budget set up in my living room for background music and occasional listening sitting down. I have the Q Acoustics 3030i speakers and looking for the rest. My current idea is getting the upcoming Fosi v3 amplifier, adding a Wiim Mini and maybe buying a second hand dac...

I have an AV setup with a Denon X3700H AVR connected to a TV and an Nvidia Shield which works without issues. The moment I connect my desktop PC to the AVR through HDMI, a crackling sound starts coming through my speakers. This sound comes out regardless of the selected input or volume level on...

I've been doing lots of reading on amplifier power, and it's difficult to form a good, scientific conclusion. The short question is: if the amplifier plays loud enough while not fully cranked, is there any reason to go to an amplifier with more power, all else being equal? Does "loud enough"...

My current setup takes all its different inputs into a MiniDSP 2x4HD which acts as my DAC, and the output is connected directly into the power amplifier (main in) of my NAD C352 (80W per channel). Volume is controlled on the DSP. Currently, to get output volume at 0dB on the DSP that's not too...
