West Lake District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, PRC. Aka a very pretty place to be.

Not much improved over the old one I reckon.. I also have personal experience with QC issues with hifiman, I have one driver on my brand new HE400 that has a very audible distortion peak at 10khz. Thankfully hifiman seems happy to replace them:)

It's good, but I'm afraid a dac now needs to stand out and be flawless in order to be even close to appealing.

Tremendous effort with the copious amount of detailed measurements! Very unhelpful in quenching my desire to buy a KH750 though :)

My god is it a shitshow... Wish competent companies gets round to implement better and more useful software in their DACs. Also $10000 is just a blatant rip-off.

I like it, but in a world where KH150s and 8341Bs exists, I don't see the reason of chosing this one over the competition. Nice try from the company though.

Yeah good great very nice But is it sensible to get one of these instead of a huge number of other (great) things? Knock $3000 off from list price and I'll happily vote great. As it stands now, it deserves no more than "not terrible".

You mean "I like balanced output as audio gear has its own ground loops"? @amirm

The line in and ADC feature set does make it interesting consumer device, but then 270USD also gets you the Motu M2... A novelty for sure but just not objectively good enough.

I liked the bamboo, and I hated everything else.. The crossover either was a bad "classic" design or just incompetent.

Also big shoutout to Facebook: bmb amplifier for sorting these out for me, and only for ~150USD. Great bloke too.

To avoid the cardinal sin of not reporting the solution of problem encountered, here is a overview of what is done to fix the speaker. The LM337SP is indeed not working optimally, but the problem is traced to two diodes in the control circuit shatting themselves (likely due to switching on...

Looks fine, but I'd have the HE400se please.

I had some time to give it a checkover, though I did not test amplifier boards seperately. I did discover something intriguing: The voltage regulator chip in one side is cool when switched on for 20 min, while the other is scolding to touch. I do note that one of the speakers had some of its...

Looks (and measures) wonderful - As always. I'll save up or sell my kidney just for that VU meter screen

That dot matrix looking emblem is so cool.

Funny enough, me and a (very well off) friend of mine did a blind test between this+topping L30 and his DCS Bartok for fun, music being an eclectic selection between jazz, male vocals, symphony, death metal and garage tunes Total of 12 tracks, using same DCA aeon flow Me: Prefer DCS Bartok: 4...

Thanks, I'll chuck it in Google translate and take a look.

That would be my fear, as other than a few through hole capacitors amplifier chips and some weird components I cannot recognise, everything else is surface mounted. Everything works perfectly. Tried for a bit for both power amp and preamp, noise persists. That would be my next course of...

Sometimes the noise is louder at startup, in my experience it is also more frequent then.
