    FS- Multiple items/Combo Items Eversolo Products now available @ Lumous Audio

    If Eversolo added a AKM DAC based unit or option, they surely would be good competition to ROSE? adding I2S output also would be a very useful feature. SMSL also seem to be quitely using ROHM DAC's chips..

    (AQ Forest) Lightning to USB cable not working for me

    Being USB A, I am expecting the cable to work upstream. From device to phone. For typical USB DAC connections a USB B (the square printer type) rconnector is used. So a lightning to USB B should be used. USB 3.0 (bigger connector) is also not uncommon in newer DAC's.

    Balanced versus single ended outputs?

    It also neccesitates a discussion about single-ended amplification vs. push pull amplification and the inherent problems of added cross-over distiortion which may be more prevalent with headphone listening. Effectively amplifier topology (class A vs A/B) may be the determining factor on both...

    Balanced versus single ended outputs?

    Voltage swing is what the >=250 ohm phones will like, low loads like 32 ohms like current. Balanced output effectively doubles voltage swing and can theorecally quadruple power output if output devices can sweat.

    Steep driveway, low slung car

    Reversing in was needed for my small ramp and perhaps inflate tire pressure to upper limit with no load.

    Ian Canada Streamer / DAC

    I purchased Ian’s LifePO4 (version 3) power supply but have plans to use it to power either a dual-mono soekris DAM1021 or Fiio R7. Not ready to add ultra capacitors but this power supply doesn’t stay alive without AC power/charger. I found the Allo Audio Kali re-clocker (difficult to source...

    Proposed Fibre Install.

    More competition is also not a good thing, seen in our suburb was such fierce competativeness that an other providers existing fibre line, power or water when digging can be victims of the "war" and as such cause other problems. Also any break in the line can cause an outage for all consumers...

    FLAC is lossless, unless packed with MQA (which is another matter).

    What is "Smash & Grab" protection?

    Not being able to open doors and some sport cars don't have headrests to assist with breaking windows and can be a reality when having an accident (not roll). Adding smash and grab here especially if 2 door coupe may be looking for trouble.

    Plankie amp hum

    Just curious is preamp/source and SUB amp at same ground potential? (seems to be floating on sub amp, the RCA ground). Perhaps a double shielded well constructed RCA cable is needed also.

    @TimbaLand If no preamp, 2.044V for the 335.

    Gain and volume and matching in a component system

    You may find experimenting with 3V (higher levels) and back to common 2V level just personal preference. 3V might appear to sound better simply because of being slightly louder. I did same with Chord Qutest output level and although higher output may appear to eliminate focus on any noise it...

    Experience with Buchardt Audio products

    Shipping and duties would surely push price above those calculations?

    Polk L800 vs Monitor Audio PL300 ii

    Assume you preferred NOS mode?, I am using Spring 3 KTE and Serene KTE (amongst other DAC/pre) also. :cool:

    Polk L800 vs Monitor Audio PL300 ii

    I have listened to the L800 with SDA cable attached and with material chosen to evaluate critical midrange found them not to my taste. Bass slam plenty and it will surely take time to get used to stereo trickery. (cancelling unwanted signal from opposite speaker). Polk to me is still a brand I...

    Good starter headphones

    Perhaps old era style Walkman headphones? Hearing is still developing like a trained muscle. Grado SR60 with F-Pads may also still be either to big or valuable?
