It is balanced or not?
Hello everyone, I am new to this page, I thank the Audiogon team for allowing me to be here with you, I have a question: I have the preamp and DAC: "Emotiva Differential Reference XDA-1" it has the following digital inputs: "S/PDIF (optical and coaxial) and AES/EBU (XLR)", the XDA-1 has balanced outputs for an speakers amplifier, inside it has the amplifier: "Texas Instruments Burr Brown OPA2134" and I want to know if it really works balanced; the XDA-1 has the DAC: "Analog Devices AD1955" inside. thanks

Please people, which of these two amps have better audio quality? thanks: http://www.ti.com/product/MC33078 it is inside a JBL Professional MSC1Studio Monitors Controller http://www.ti.com/product/OPA2134 it is inside of a Emotiva DAC Preamp XDA-1 thanks. |
The op amp is a factor in sound quality, but it's never the full story. You also need to look at power supply, etc. The fact that the JBL uses a switching wal-wart power supply is an indicator of poor sound quality. The JBL is meant as a cheap mixer / room correction unit. I believe the Emotiva would have highly superior sound quality, especially since it has a fully discrete output stage. |
