| Somebody Please Make This Already... @thecarpathian i haven’t seen too many preamps with full bass management including separately adjustable high- and low-pass filter frequencies and slopes. Much more basic sub outputs and non-adjustable crossovers, yes, but even those there aren’t ... | |
| Somebody Please Make This Already... I suppose so in two separate components. Or someone could build an active crossover with remote volume control and that would mostly do it I guess. -Ed | |
| Somebody Please Make This Already... @carlsbad2 while I get what you're going for, unfortunately, high-level input is implies that the loudspeakers are not high-pass filtered, which is part of the main goal here. Thanks anyway, though! -Ed | |
| Somebody Please Make This Already... @carlsbad2 this is really more of a bass management issue than anything else. I suppose an AV receiver would solve this issue as long as it sounds as good as the end listener wants. Some people prefer to use their own DAC (for the speakers), which... | |
| Somebody Please Make This Already... I think there is. It’s not going to sell 800,000 units, but it has numerous potential uses and at the moment would have close to nil competition for what it can do. -Ed | |
| Somebody Please Make This Already... I have yet to see any device that synchronously controls the volume level of two entirely separate signals, preamp or otherwise. With this device, for example, you can have full-range or high-pass filtered L/R signals from a DAC go through input ... | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps @aberyclark not a tremendous step down; keep enjoying that E70 Velvet! -Ed | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps My Teddy Pardo Mini Teddy SE power supply arrived today (two days early—thanks, DHL!) and right off the bat improved transparency and presence in the mids, which feel subtly richer. Was not sure if there would be any benefit, but it’s there even i... | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps @lanx0003 room treatment again not an option with the kids. Point is that farther down the line (a few years from now), the entire system will find a final place somewhere more ideal in my home, so blowing a ton of money on room treatments for a t... | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps @lanx0003 your room is probably in much less need of correction than mine. With 4- and 6-year-old kids, I don’t have the luxury of a special listening room or even speaker placement, so room correction is my only option to get the sound as I want.... | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps @lanx0003 I rely on the room correction and the bass management features on the WiiM Ultra. Does the Cambridge have those features? -Ed | |
| Anybody Using a Portable Audio Player (DAP) As a Streamer? It’s been a while since I started this thread. I recently gave in and made the transition from Apple Music to Qobuz (by way of Soundiiz playlist transfer) and that opened up my options for streamers. I ended up going with the WiiM Ultra, which all... | |
| Topping B100 Brief Impressions If I had to rank the effect each component in the chain had on stereo imaging, I’d rank speakers way first, then DAC, then preamp, and then power amps last. That being said, again, these B100s are more revealing of what’s upstream of them. If you ... | |
| Topping B100 Brief Impressions I believe the best way to describe the B100 versus the Fosi amps is that if you haven’t listened to Topping’s amps yet, you’ll believe the Fosis are extremely transparent, which they are, but then once you listen to the B100s, you realize that the... | |
| My Brief Impressions of FiiO’s New K11 R2R DAC & Headphone Amplifier @soix to be honest with you, I found the NOS setting on the Draco to sound very similar to the NOS setting on the Ares II. OS mode on the Draco sits somewhere in the middle of OS Slow and OS Fast on Ares II, where OS Slow on Ares II has the most a... |
