    DC Offset and DC blockers question

    So simple question really. Power outlets here have 230 volt 50 Hz and it's normal to have 10% +- fluctuations. Looking at DC blockers (the stuff from IFI etc) they filter out 600 mv - 1200 mv and there is one from the Ukraine that filters around 3000mv. So what exactly is a DC Offset...

    List of DACs that output 5 volt?

    Did just read that the Singxer SA1 amp would benefit from a DAC that has 5 volt output. One DAC mentioned was the topping D70S and the Gustard X26.. Are there more DACs with 5 volt output? And I've been trying to figure out how much my Cambridge cxn V2 outputs, but couldn't find anything.

    R2R DACs .. Comeback?

    I might be wrong and they have been around the whole time but since the denafrips Ares and the musician Pegasus there seems to be a big interest in R2R DACs again. Will we see R2R DACs from topping and smsl soon? And are the Schiit "multibit" DACs like the bifrost r2r DACs as well?

    Why is not all audio equipment using "balanced"?

    So I just got recently some equipment that uses XLR connections, got some "decent" headphones that I will use with a balanced headphone amp and a balanced cable. But why are there so many standards to begin with 2.5mm, 3.5mm , 4.4mm etc ? Wouldn't it be much simpler, better if everything would...
