What? Do you want distortion?Does the volume go to 11?
My Headrush board goes to eleven but it's not an ultrafi device like this phones amp.

must be quite sensitive cans, yet I am sure those would sing better with an external amp.
Differential math is quite easy to grasp : Vout = (|hotV| + |coldV|) / 2, thus cold may me regarded as a variable ground.isnt the point in differential amplification not to refer to a fixed ground when arriving at the final output voltage level?
But it is not big enough....lol, just joking. Size is not everything. Plus, the shaft looks gold plated. Ok, enough Freudian symbolism. All joking aside, what is that 1/4 inch headphone jack? I have never seen a completely sealed jack with no exposed contacts. Not on amplifiers or guitars. Looks very sleek.

Where's the /2 coming from? Also why absolute values?Differential math is very easy : Vout = (|hotV| + |coldV|) / 2, thus cold may me regarded as a variable ground.

Sure. I agree about the names. They give a hint. What I was curious about was the nesting and composite current/voltage. There are a range of ways of doing this. Nesting is always interesting as there are a range of topologies and interesting issues managing stability. When you mention very high feedback this makes it all the more so. Getting it right isn't trivial, and you have got it right. So one asks.It's simple in the name. It's nothing vague like AAA which is completely confusing.
NFCA(nested feedback composite amplifier) is as direct as it can get. Ultra high gain feedback is also straightforward, the total loop gain is very high. Current voltage hybrid feedback is also just as described, tpa6120 is CFA, 1612 is VFA. I can't just make a good performing module and not name it right?

The M400 output omits buffer after passive LPF. Hence large and reactive output impedance. It's not a poor design per se but not compatible in this case.
You can think it that way. But it is not an issue with D90 tho. Many other models from them has output buffer as well as other implementations of 4499. I guess it's a issue where both of us want to give the best measuring performance. It's not completely unusable just the level will be lower. In some way that tames the high voltage output of 5.2V from M400 to a more normal level.Is it not compatible because A90 has low input impedance?
Also, are the line level outputs just headphone output taps or are they taken from an earlier stage?
YesWill the planned preamp have a remote control for the volume?
Sorry, I'm confused ....what is all the talk about preamp version? I thought that the A90 back output whether via rca or xlr act like a preamp...ie volume out is controlled by the volume knob as opposed like a fixed line-out, right?
There's also no output impedance in M400 manualWhy isn't the input impedance in the user manual?
So , if I connect A90 to active monitors, volume to the monitors can still be controlled by this A90, right?It means you can connect this A90 to another power amplifier/integrated amplifier (via XLR output) while receiving from DAC eg. D90 via XLR input. There is selector switch for pre-amp and HPA.
I believe volume control is locked under Pre-amp mode. Volume control only for headphone.
