    For context, I'm working from home, and my bedroom is practically an office. The room is not soundproof, so people from the outside (e.g., in the living room) can hear the conversation, albeit smaller due to the walls. What would be the best way to protect sound leakage from my work conference...

    "Not-enough-to-drive the heaphones", how is it defined?

    In this thread, I want to focus mainly on the aspect of power output. I'm not certain if other aspects like frequency, distortion, etc. affects the power output.

    How to differentiate CTIA (AHJ) vs OMTP standard TRRS by look?

    Hi, I have Beyerdynamic Byron, which is an in-ear monitor with built-in mic (3.5mm TRRS jack). I want to use it with my JDS Labs Atom amp. The thing is, when ever I plug it into Atom, the sound is like I'm under water (echoey) for some reason. However, if I use it with Fiio e10k, as well as my...

    What does a speaker amp output?

    From what I know, speaker cone will move back and forth to create sound based on the signal it receives. However, I can't find a definite answer on whether an amplifier output varied DC (or AC with DC offset) or AC? In case it outputs AC, which means there will be positive and negative voltage...

    About coax out quality.

    Now I'm using e10k simultaneously for both my speaker and headphone setup. I know that if I use/plug both head/line out at the same time, audio quality can be degraded duo to some factors (not enough energy from usb port, etc). However, what if I use only one of them but with coaxial out...
