Hi John, I have a DX3 pro plus, the input via spdif is from an old chromecast and the dx3 signal goes into a audiophonics mpa-s250nc. The dx3 output display runs from 99db down. Most of the time I am around 20-25 but sometimes, especially with some classical music recorded quitely i am down to...

i use it in Israel and have no heat problems, in fact the topping dx3 pro+ which preamps it gets hotter!

Hi, its French but doesn't support Deezer?

I know even at my low level there is an enormous difference between different piano sounds and also the sounds the piano makes when I play it. Its not that surprising is it, after all its analogue and large, equivalent to the large effect speakers have in a stereo system.

Just want to say that for me this looks really cool.

I had these problems with chromecast a couple of yeats back and circumvented them by adding a wifi booster.

https://www.stereophile.com/content/wiim-mini-streaming-da-preamplifier Kind of ironic that Stereophile gives this budget component a better review than Amir, well done @John Atkinson :)

I think most members know not to waste money on this kind of thing so isnt it a waste of Amir's time not to mention 350 dollars?

Interviews are importent, Darko has some good ones in his podcast such as Bruno Putzey from purify.

What a remarkable assertion that "in 5-10 years most active monitors are going to be paperweights". Do you have any objective source for this assertion?

48 on second system with adam monitors. cheap dac and some hearing loss + birds chirping away outside, its a great site BTW

Agree with most of what op says as regards measurements but as noted there are many other factors that effect price: usability, extra functions (such as # inputs, display etc.), reliability, ease of repair, warrenty, appearance, size, weight, robustness, temperature, resale potential, remote...

This is known behavior but the stream is still cd even though it does not say hifi on your phone.

You don't explain how you know it is not CD quality but it may be you are not set up right (or it may be it is CD quality you don't provide any details). If you do the following you should get CD quality using Deezer and CCA: 1) Set audio options in android app to "High fidelity" under the...

Deezer casts 44/16 to Chromecast Audio as far as i know, why do you think it does not?

Puzzled why fluid needs to outsource the measurements, one would have expected precision measurements and tests to be part if their development cycle.

I love this site and the scientific reviews but for sure there are reliability, support and usability issues that are not covered, thats left to us to consider and explore. Sometimes cheap purchases can work out as expensive investments :)

This is cool, well done Amazon.

The poster is in Canada, if he bought from audiophonics he would also have to pay a ton for shipping. If you buy international you pay less than local but when things go wrong it costs. Everyone has to make there choices and live with them.

Calling this an "off the shelf" solution is a bit like saying buying flour sugar and cream cheese at the super is a quick and cheap way to buy a cheese cake.
