I went for the Hifiberry Digi+ Standard and I am very happy with it. Sounds great as expected. Genelec is doing the DA conversion. I modified my Nes3Pi case for the additional outputs. For the features and sound you get, I think this case is actually quite funny :). As long as nobody can...

I asked my question with more explanation on my case here again, since I think the reach of it is quite low in here - just follow the link if you are interested in this issue

I'm wondering if there is an audible difference with different digital interfaces for raspberry pi such as Hifiberry Digi+ Standard Audiophonics Digipi+ Pro Hifiberry Digi2 Pro Allo DigiOne I watched amirs Video "Is Digital Audio Transmission Really Analog?" which shows clearly explains that...

Can anyone explain one more time what benefit I get with a S/PDIF module like this compared to something much cheaper like a HifiBerry Digi+ or an Audiophonics Digipi+? I get that there is less jitter and the DAC gets a cleaner digital signal, but will it have an effect on sound or only on...

Great as expected - how does it compare to the Stealth in terms of spatial qualities since it's open?

I don't have a suggestion for a streaming platform, but I would like to additionally recommend LastFM (https://www.last.fm) to log the music you actually listen to. Set it up once, that's it. I'm using it for almost 10 years now and have gone through different sources such as local music and...

I think so as well. Wouldn't actually a setup suffice where GS and a third neutral person are sitting on a desk, separated by a dividing wall: 1. Left: GS with a headphone and control of music which is playing 2. Right: Neutral person with the above ABX switcher and three amps (connected and...

Great review, thanks! Is there any information on which version has been tested? The latest revision got more bass than the old ones, right?

Are there any plans related to this: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tests/sound-quality/passive-soundstage? Soundstage and Imaging differs a lot on different headphones and is not visible in the current data presented, right? I used SonarWorks True-Fi for a long time and with frequency...

Can you explain why? They talk about lots of advantages of their approach and it's obviously different from others. I'm really interested in an electrical explanation.

I'm wondering if anybody here has enough background knowledge to say something about their amplifiers, since that's what they advertise most: https://www.abacus-electronics.de/info-service/informationen/audio-akademie/emk-control.html If google translator is not sufficient, since I'm German, I...

But isn't the transfer function of the EARS rig fixed so that a proper calibration/compensation will lead to reproducible results? I mean miniDSP gives calibration files for each EARS they deliver. If this is off to the industry standard but consistent for different EARS models, wouldn't we be...

@Boerd: With the calibration question I meant one of the following probably? HEQ: headphone compensation for flat EQ target HPN: original headphone compensation IDF: IEM diffuse field compensation RAW: no headphone compensation (mic cal only)

Which calibration are you using? Can you share the uncorrected data and filter settings?

Sure, but will there be a difference besides the supported codecs? I have seen stronlgy varying performances of different coax and toslink implementations. I guess this is similar with Bluetooth?

I'm wondering if there is any difference in the bluetooth implementation and quality of these DACs if used with a current Windows 10 PC, Bluetooth 5 and Tidal? Controlled via USB, all of the top tier DACs are measurably transparent. The selection of a DAC can be made purely on the basis of...

Youtube offers captions with translation in different languages, so if you want to have all the details, this might be an option for you.

Don't know if somebody already posted this, but Polyphia impresses me every day anew - progressive rock, novel, virtuosic, talented:

Hi everybody, Some years ago, I built a balanced Stax headphone amplifier (High-Amp Sirius Basis - http://www.high-amp.de/html/frame.html) with the assistance of my uncle, who was an electronics guy. However, unfortunately he passed away last year - since I can now no longer fall back on his...
