OK, school me here. Why is Bricasti using a decade-old Analog Devices chip in this DAC? A decade ago, it was their top of the line if memory serves. These days, stiff competition from the likes of ESS, AKM, Crystal, etc. Did they buy a snarfload of them initially and now they're stuck with them?

I have a pair of Walsh 4's toward one end of a 10 x 15' living room. At various points, I've tried replacing the Walsh 4's with other speakers, yet I keep coming back to them. HF energy seems to be less fatiguing for me than direct radiating speaker designs. Long listening sessions don't...

A decade ago, I was in a thrift store when I spotted a pair of black Ohm Walsh 4 speakers. I had a pair of Ohm G's with Walsh drivers in my youth, so I was familiar with the brand. Each speaker had a price tag of $45. When it came to check out, the employee couldn't figure out whether the $45...

Right now, the bicycle market is oversaturated with supply from pandemic whiplash. Three years ago, bicycles were like toilet paper, the next thing you couldn't get. Today, the situation is completely reversed. Bike shops have years of unsold inventory. This pushes the new and used markets...

@mc.god: I'll fess up to improperly routing the cables, but surely a forum member like yourself understands polarity, right? By inverting both sides, I was listening in correct polarity, as stated above. Your implication that I couldn't have heard nuances because polarity was inverted is...

@Sebby - good catch, thanks. No instructions in the box makes for interesting assembly.

Got mine this morning. Ordered for $16.99 all in from Linsoul, took three weeks to get here from the far east. Initial impressions are excellent. Hearing nuances I normally hear on reference headphones. My solution to the L/R identification dilemma is to paint a white stripe around one base...

You can't use a CD drive to rip SACD. You'll need a functioning BluRay disc player, a properly formatted flash drive with AutoScript installed, and the latest version of SACDExtractGui on your computer, on top of an already cumbersome process. Here's a tutorial from PS Audio...

Just wanted to say thanks for the review! I ordered directly from Linsoul. They have a promotion where in exchange for your email address, they give a certain amount off in a spinning wheel. My spinning wheel was $8 off, so total was $16.99 USD, with shipping.

@al2002: According to the A6 manual, top of p.17, CD Playback and Ripping: By connecting with a USB CD-ROM, the device can both play music from CD and rip music files from CD. http://music.eversolo.com/dmp/instruction/EVERSOLO-DMP-A6-User-Manual-v1.0.pdf

Welcome. I have the Eversolo DMP-A6, and according to Amir's tests, I'm getting ~115dB SINAD from the RCA outs. It's a smidge better via the XLR outs. It will run a NAS system, and is also internal SSD storage capable up to 4TB, which is the way I run it. Everything is controlled via the...

In the X4800H manual, Assign Mode describes how to use the various power amps available. In 5.1ch + ZONE 2/3 Assign Mode, you control the Zone 2 & 3 power amps separately from the main amp. In Playback in ZONE 2/3 > Connecting ZONE > Connection 2, Connection using a speaker output terminal...

@Oski1928: I purchased my A6 from Saturday Audio Exchange in Chicago. When the A6 first came out, I was asking the same question: Where do I buy one? Someone here went to audition the first A6 that store received and posted their experience. Thinking they might have more, I called them...

Here's the thing about soundstage: It has to be in the original signal. If it isn't, doesn't matter what speakers you have, because you won't get it. So your question is really: Within the context of my current system - can I expect better subjective results with the Polks? We don't know...

Yes. I can't ascribe any characteristics to either one. Even listening to MP3s on the ipod vs FLAC on the Eversolo - I can't tell the difference. If there is one, it's beyond me.

@Sam Ash, I have the same ipod touch 4. It runs MP3s along with my ipod nano and thumb drives for on-the-go. I have the Eversolo DMP-A6 media player running FLAC in my primary home setup as well as a bunch of other media players running FLAC. I know what you mean about the ipod touch 4's...

Find another salesman. If that's not possible, a different retail establishment. Bad recordings sound bad on their own. They don't need any help from "revealing" electronics to sound worse, which is the implication. "See how bad that sounds? I told you it would sound worse than it did on...

I've spent a few months with my A6. I would not characterize the sound as "warm and lively." If I had to assign a modifier, it would be "neutral." When it comes to system matching, one must account for what one already has. If your current system leans toward "clinical," you're not going to...

I bought a used Astell & Kern AK70 mk. II (2017) DAP last year. Nice sounding unit with Cirrus Logic dual DACs. First thing I did was install a 400GB micro SD to augment 64GB internal storage. Have ~650 CD's stored as FLAC. This works well for me. I can stream to anything, and use my...

I'm not stalking you or anyone. I researched the answer to your question and your What Hi Fi? post was one of the first. Are you not taking responsibility for everything you post? So gauging by your last response and that post, it seems like you have something against Marantz. So at the...
