    Binaural?

    Hi. I purchased a cd which contained also binaural files to listen to. Honestly, according to MY opinion, the original sound was better than the binaural, although the latter was at 24 bits. Why did it seem worse to me? Thanks and best, Davide

    Pre-amplifier foobar2000

    Hi. In the preferences of foobar2000 there are two pre-amp: with or without rg. It seems to me that the second gives a sense of spatiality to the sound. This is more clear and open. I am using foobar2000 with the couple Jds labs atom DAC+ and atom amp+. Is it a suggestion? Can it be of help, or...

    jds atom dac+ and amp+

    Hi. I decided to buy also the dac+ by JDS labs. I tested it with La Valse by Ravel, i.e. 10 minute ca. of music. The dac was very hot. The amp was warm because it was on the dac. Is it a problem? Can I listen to a Bruckner' symphony or the dac can be damaged? Thanks and best, davide

    Clopen

    Hi. As you know, in topology there are open sets, closed sets and clopen sets, i.e. sets which are open and closed. This concept is not a problem for me. On the contrary, I am not able to understand the concept of a headphone semi-open. What does it mean? Thanks and best, Davide

    Jds Atom+ dac and Jds Atom amp

    Hi. I just purchased the Jds Lab Atom+ dac to match the Jds Lab atom amp. I hope that it would sound nice and powerful. I have a collection of budget dacs. Having already the Jds amp it seemed me natural to purchase its brother dac+. I read your review, obviously. Thanks and best, Davide

    Topping dx3 pro + L30 II

    Hi. What if I connect a Topping dx3 pro with a Topping L30 II to drive a Sennheiser HD 650? It could sound very stupid and indeed it is, but if it is true that the L30 II (not the first version) has such power, I could use the dx3 as pre-amp. Thanks and best, Davide
