Or perhaps I am mistaken: when I combine / add two (digital) channels and want to prevent clipping all bits should move 1 position towards "less significance" which is approximately -6db?

Hi, In all examples for implementing a single subwoofer using a MiniDsp device I see routing matrix examples where input1 and input2 are added for the subwoofer channel. However, couldn’t simply adding two channels lead to clipping? Wouldn’t it be better to add them at -3.0 dB? Thank you!

Hi, I got myself some second hand speakers for my home office, a small attic room, rather vintage B&W DM 100i 's. For what I paid for them they sound quite nice. Detailed, but somewhat bright but with a rather ok bass. I just measured them using REW and wanted to share the results with you (VAR...

My Quest velomobile: Fast & comfortable. Not good for urban trips, great for long distance rides.

by the way, English is a Germanic language…

It looks like the left rotary button is placed lower than the other ?!?

Right. I probably used standard quality. Getting to think about it: my aim was to test the frequency response of an amplifier I was working on. The curve I measured at it outputs using the test tones on Spotify as its inputs wasn't flat. This triggered me to test the frequency response of the...

I recently checked some ‘audio test tones’ that are on Spotify using a strobe. Above 15kHz they flatlined. Perhaps that does explain it?

I just came across a consumer-to-consumer ad of an amp with this photo attached. Wonder how that will sound when it is demoed:

I've combined the LS50 vs the LS50 Meta measurements from https://www.soundstagenetwork.com/ in one image:

Kef LS50 Meta anechoic measurements: https://www.soundstagenetwork.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2421:nrc-measurements-kef-ls50-meta-loudspeakers&catid=77:loudspeaker-measurements&Itemid=153 Seems pretty good, at first sight!

Look nice but what is the significance when it is equalized using a dsp? Relevant would be a measurement from an anechoic room or a nearfield measuring device.

But how would it perform using an audiophile mains cable? ;)

You mean, similar to what the Nautilus manual says “less smooth response with the grill removed” or what the S manual says (nothing about the smoothness - i.e. dispersion? )? The Nautilus has a crossover at 3 kHz, the S at 4 kHz (says amirm), would that explain that from the S on, smoothness is...

@amirm tested with the magnetic grill of the tweeter removed. B&W recommends to keep it on, for better dispersion (at least that is what the 805N manual states).

Its predecessor, the 805N has the crossover frequency at 3000Hz (according to Stereophile), iso 4000Hz. Wonder why that might be...

Still, it probably will help fix SQ issues when there is a ground loop over USB (as I experience with my NUC; regardless the DAC I use: SQ problems manifest themselves when using the phono input on the amp ; regardless the amp I use). But as Amirm shows; it will not magically solve problems you...

Regardless all the sarcasm (?): I experience degraded sound (when using my turntable!?) that appears to be caused by the computer and USB connections with both DACs I own (Topping D10 and Musical FIdelity V-DAC) don't solve (unless using the D10 as a USB to optical converter).

I experienced a buzz issue caused by USB. It manifested itself in a buzz over the phono preamp (!). It happened regardless the DAC (tested a Musical Fidelity VDac and the internal DAC of the NAD D3020). I solved it by adding this USB optocoupler...
