Amir's TODO thread

[Olli]

So which do you guys want to see reviewed sooner, the Benchmark HPA4 or AH B2 Power amplifier? I don't that I can get both so like to know the priority before I go and ask.

AHB2! We have a master Headphone Amp already (Massdtop THX) but no proper power Amp yet!

 

[markanini]

I'd really like to see the FiiO A3 amp measured!

+1

 

[amirm]

+1

OK, let me see if I can make some time for it....

When can we expect the Little Labs Monotor measurements?

You are expecting someone more organized than me. Right now, I am going by how loud someone complains for their unit.

 

[Rojaran]

It is probably not that bad

BSS soon then!

Fiio K5 - The Fiio high power desktop amplifier. Not as high power as Magni 3 but Fiio has better international distribution.

How about an Aptx HD stream to a dac vs. one of your stand alone dacs using 16/44.1 files? I guess you could do the test if you ran your DX3 Pro off of an APTx HD source.

I've recently switched to using Aptx HD with my LG G6 ($150 used), Foobar using my 16 and 24 bit flac files, and feeding a BluDento HD receiver ($95). I can A/B it with my computer setup and at least with my old ears I'm not missing anything. It's not "the best" but it sure is convenient.

The AHB2 gets my vote as well.

this (Burson Fun amplifier) might be cool https://www.massdrop.com/buy/burson-fun-headphone-amplifier

I don't want to be a party pooper, but why does anyone want to see time spent measuring an AHB2? A full battery of tests has already been run on by a variety of people. Nothing new is going to be learned that is not already known. See https://www.stereophile.com/content/benchmark-media-systems-ahb2-power-amplifier-measurements and https://www.soundstagenetwork.com/i...hb2-stereo-mono-amplifier&catid=97&Itemid=154.

I saw this and other measurements. That is why I am interested in Amir’s measurements in the same conditions as a benchmark))

Oops, my bad. Play / Fun, they sound similar

A lot of people have been asking for cheap DACs to pair with Atom. Maybe re-measure D10 with new setup. Also, you have someone's DACMAGIC and also Cirrus Soundkey.

i'm quite interested too, i must admit.

Also, would be nice to test the new Teac UD-505 which uses AK4497 in dual mono, both dac and amp sections.
