    Fosi Audio V3 Amplifier Review

    @antcollinet Indeed, I was referring to the input stage. My DAC is an EX5 with 2.1V of line level. I was just asking since I'd like to know how much of the volume range in percent I can effectively utilize to control the total volume of the chain without driving the amp input into clipping. The...

    Does anyone know how much input voltage the V3 can handle without clipping?

    All three to some extent. Depends on your specific interests.

    Fosi Audio V3 Amplifier Review

    Given a set of Mission QX-2 MKII with roughly 88 dB sensitivity in a rather small room, would you prefer the 32V psu over the 48V PSU for better volume control range on the pot? The DAC will be a Topping EX5 by the way. SNR will probably be best when cranking the amp up and controlling the...

    Drop THX-789 Volume pot replacement?

    That's the stuff I used, actually. But the newer one w/o the T6.

    Drop THX-789 Volume pot replacement?

    I am pretty sure that my unit had this issue even without the DAC connected to the input. But I will check that once again when the issue reoccurs. Did not hear any cracks since the last cleaning. Knock on wood. :)

    Drop THX-789 Volume pot replacement?

    Then why does it get better when I turn the knob a few rounds left and right once the crackling occurs (everytime when changing volume)?

    Drop THX-789 Volume pot replacement?

    Hey there, pretty much the same problem with my Monolith AAA 887 here. First run with some cleaning spray did only fix the issue for about two weeks. Then, the crackling got even worse. I disassembled the unit a second time yesterday, placed the unit with the front pointing down on the table...

    Review of Fosi Audio K5 Pro DAC Amplifier Working with PS5

    What is the typical SNR/THD for the mic-in with an ordinary electret capsule? Also: How high is the provided plug-in-power (V_bias) under load condition? Regards

    Monoprice Monolith THX 887 Balance Headphone Amp: New Champ?

    Is there any significant drawback running the Monolith 887 with only around 1V of input to lower the level for very sensitive IEM?

    Review and Measurements of Fiio K5 Pro

    Hi all, has anyone ever had trouble with the grounding of the K5 Pro? For some reason the PSU of my unit loads the ground shell with up to 100 V. The resistance is high enough so that I only end up with roughly 130 uA, as far as my DMM can be trusted. I can definately feel a tingling when I...

    iD4 & iD14 MK II - Audient updated their Audio Interfaces

    Output Z still around 22-23 Ohms. Meh. Otherwise, pretty decent for the price!

    Harman preference curve for headphones - am I the only one that doesn't like this curve?

    Theile states that the reproduction of sound through headphones is flawed since the possibility for adaption and orientation in front of a real sound source with the natural HRTF excitation plus the psychoacoustic filtering is missing. His reasoning to prove that the loudness equalization must...

    A moderate EQ strategy

    I have had good success with adjustments by ear in the +2 kHz region. For the evaluation I use white or pink noise and a HP filter set to around 800 Hz. Then I move a peak filter with 4 dB of gain and a Q of about 4 up and down until I hear a distinct rise in amplitude. After fixing the...
