Well, yes, moar is always better!
MOAR BASS!! Of course it matters!
Hey Julf,I do care about making stuff better, but I am an engineer - I approach it based on facts, and what matters.
I also tend to believe in a kind of modified version of Godwin's law - if someone has to resort to childish personal attacks, it is a sign that they have run out of rational arguments, and there is no point in continuing the discussion. Have a good day!
Hey Julf,
Hate to disillusion you but I am an engineer. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they don't like facts. Might want to check in with reality someday. Fact is that trying to make anything better than you would bother is not wrong and is the option of the person doing it. Build what you want the way you want and leave the rest of us alone. Just get over yourself.
I imagine we would need the output impedance of the DAC and input of the two amps to determine that.Do you know if there are problems by doing that?
Should be easily found in the manufacturers spec sheets.I don't have this information
What I have is a Hypex SMPS that is rated to power three NC400 modules. That gives me about 50% leeway and I consider that more than enough. Supply should not have to work as hard as a smaller one and should run cooler as it is designed for higher currents as well. Both pluses as far as I am concerned.
I have a small question. Recently I became an owner of two monoblocks and built them myself. I swapped the speaker wires shipped with the module with thick isolated single copper wires because the aluminium filament cable felt weird and also was too big to fit it comfortably into the sockets.
Did you twist them symmetrically and tightly?
Yup! About 10 twists per cable pair per amp. I also took care to press the cable core against the speaker twist ports and not to clamp it between just the screws. When I don't have any pre amp plugged in the sound of the base noise is identical. I also checked the grounding multiple times.
The NC400 modules tested are for the diy market. There are NC400 OEM modules used by NAD with different shape and performance.Just out of curiosity, is there any integrated amplifier using NC400 modules?
