Say "Hello!" to boXem | audio Arthur series, Hypex and Purifi based power amplifiers

[ezra_s]

Can they handle 400W?

I suppose not, but the amplifier won't be delivering so much unless I push it and if you read my posts I am even using attenuators now because I don't need high volumes but I want the RME ADI-2 DAC as close as possible to high dBr for maximun dynamic range (although the autoref does a great job to mitigate that).

Both parties playing together, RME with attenuators plugged to their output.

I would love to have them both in my desk but I have not enough space.

Why do you use attenuators on the RME? The AutoRef turned on should be used to maximize SINAD on its output.

Also you could possibly stack the RME on top of the boXem on your desktop to reduce the footprint?

The top volume I can listen to without them and the boxem amp set to low gain is generally -20 to -30dBr, whereas with attenuators set to -20dB (attenuators I use can do -10, -20, -30) max volume is more around -6dBr to -3dBr, so with them set to -20 I generally listen with RME around -18 to -6dBr, which I think it may be the sweetest spot. Just trying to maximize dynamic range. I was suggested this in the RME forums.

I could stack them in my desk yes but still, even with my large desk I have to re-organize it somehow (again )

What we received yesterday may be appreciated by some of you.

Looks like a Black Box 'em

Hey Boxem, have just realised we are neighbours. Greetings from Hautcharage!
Btw do you have a shop or you sell online only?

I have been employed by the company installed at the exit of Bascharage direction Dippach for 12 years. Then we really were neighbours .
We only sell online but I have had the pleasure to personally meet all our local customers until now.

Are you referring to the box or the wood laminated floor?

 

[Semla]

next step: a black box(em) with volume knob and input selector...

I can see that there was clown at the menu yesterday

Indeed

ETA?

ETA?

I would be happy if some where under the Christmas tree, but I heard corridor voices telling that Santa doesn't exist. So let's see what happens.

do i get a rebate if i grow out my beard (already got a half decent stature for the part)?

Santa gets whatever he wants. But I heard corridor voices telling that he doesn't exist. So let's see what happens.

@boXem | audio could you please publish measurements of your finished amps? Graphs like 1 kHz 5W 4 ohms FFT, THD+N x power in 4 ohms, THD+N x frequency in different power levels, etc. Especially for the Purifi based amp as it has your own proprietary buffer.
Thanks.

 

[boXem | audio]

It's in the plans.

Why have you made this decision once I've moved to the active world?....

That is interesting ; What you have considered else then?
Thanks Sorry to jump on the occasion

It is part of a Machiavellian plan to bring you back in the passive world. That is only step 1
