Understanding Amplifier Measurements (Video)

That Luxman amp. Oooh it was GORGEOUS! Hands off! I seen it first.

Playing music you will rarely produce a power (voltage x current) over a few watts which is measured as an RMS quantity. The peak to RMS ratio is called the crest factor.
The music signal voltage corresponding to peak sound pressure might be 10x (20dB) higher. This is because music is not like the sine waves used in testing which have a 1.4 x crest factor.

You might enjoy this.

I am sure you know that, but still, since this is ASR..., so, for power, I would stick with the term "average", instead of the while popular but incorrect "RMS" term. RMS is of course a correct term, when used for voltage and current.

Which is? I have a DAP I've been thinking about sending for review but...

Generally 4 to 5 weeks. Outliers get tested sooner and sometimes a lot later....

Given how large your backload seems, I figured you'd need 2-3 months. That's pretty great turnaround time given how much content you put out.

I can send in either a Hiby R5 or a Fiio M11Plus ESS if anyone's interested in their measurements.
