I think it is a part they used in other products where the rotation is used for something. But not here.Then why it rotates?
A few really crazy headphones need inordinate power... they also tend to cost a crazy amount, so there's at least some market for this thing.Do any headphones require this sort of power?
Just wondering what the use case is?
Now you decide, will your next 4.3K go for ANOTHER Alto or for a shining Innuos USB Reclocker?Line level bypass Line level bypass allows the XLR outputs to bypass the volume control on the front of the unit. This allows you to connect another Alto in the chain or send the signal on further down the line to an alternative piece of equipment.
Have you seen the DAVE? That's kind of their thing. Kind of a power move in a way, shows that someone can be so rich they don't mind paying top dollar for Captain Nemo's ayahuasca trip gone bad.Was Chord’s design house and EEs drunk and/or stoned whilst cobbling together this abortion of an April Fools joke?
What is dis? A Chord for ants???Can we hence forth refer to thei company as "Dis-Chord-ant"
My three year old nephew could use this thing as a sort of “Whack-A-Mole” toy, what, with all the brightly hued, random jeweled lights that pop up on the front
Similarly there’s a market for crazy high powered amps for inefficient speakers.A few really crazy headphones need inordinate power... they also tend to cost a crazy amount, so there's at least some market for this thing.
Still not changing my vote.Its worth to mention that there is remote provided and volume control is motorized one.
Unfortunately they don't blink or anything with music. That, would have been cool!I hope we at least see the LED lightshow in the video review? It must be so much better than the typical AliExpress LED strips. Which you can expect at that price.
It doesn’t meet a single one of theseTHD (Speakers):
0.003 % into 4 Ω
THD (Headphones):
0.001 % into 100 Ω
Signal-to-noise:
120 dB
I’d say, back to the drawing board…The Alto’s ULTIMA topology introduces the company’s dual-feed-forward error-correction technology, which monitors and then immediately corrects signals before the output stage.
