G'Day Folks! Long time lingerer, I rarely post, but I'd love an opinion. I've subscribed to Stereophile my whole life and just got April. While the written reviews tend to be an advertisement for the product, John Atkinsons' measurements are what drew me to this mag and quite possibly got me...

Hi, I'm a long time reader first time poster. (This forum is awesome btw) I cannot find the answer to a question I have and haven't found it on this site. Also before I ask my question I'll preface with, I've reached out to Hedd audio and asked them my question and haven't heard back yet...

Hello fellow ASR members, I'm looking for advice with respect to building a headphone system. Although my Activo DAP sounds good, I want to build a "reference" headphone system so I can easily quantify (at least subjectively) different headphones as I buy more in the future, based on perceived...

Hi, I feel like I don't quite get noise in analog-to-digital 1) why can't we record music at for example 17 bits, the quantized noise is last bit, right? And then we cut the last bit so no quantized noise??? 2) why can't we oversample > noise shape > downsample to get rid of noise The noise is...

Anyone care to professionally critique this? I've already got my own opinion about it (it's unnecessary as the DAC is just going to reclock the input anyway) but I'm curious as to what you all think. And, don't shoot the messenger here as I'm not endorsing the thing! I had a debate with a...
