Unity gain just won't cut it in 70% of all hifi systems and a little bit of gain goes a long way to add dynamics. That said a lot of studio gear isn't even proper balanced designed and rely on converters

Out of the box it is just ordinary. Really nothing special about it. But build it a proper eco system and it gets a lot closer to the more high end dacs

Nice array of connection options

Been rather busy lately packing up the house. But finally had some time to work on the dac. I had chassis made that came out friggen amazing. Really top quality. I haven't had time to do the valve stage. The B1 is just simply incredible. No rush here. I also added a pi with Allo Kali hat. It is...

If such a device exists then yes

I am doing my last pi based project before trying something else. This configuration will be a pi with a Allo Kali hat. Two separate power supplies. This eill feed the DAC via I2S. if this doesn't improve things significantly i will probably get a SOtM bridge with matching power supply But both...

Like this one?

You might want to consider having it wrapped. Not perfect but reversible

I think you would want to try a vanguard power amp.[emoji6] In a recent comparison it got a 4/5 vote over a R180 000 Japanese amp

Timbaland. I think  you will be surprised if you try something different. It is not about the watts but the amount of current you can push to the speakers

One has got to understand why you want to use a buffer. It isnt for colouration or applying a plaster. You use it to lower output impedance and improve it ability to deal with the following stage. There are several ways to do this, currently i am using jfets and have great success with them. But...

Actually a tube dac makes perfect sense. Beautiful fluidity and nice holographic sound stage. Why mess around with vinyl if it is all there for the picking without getting off your coach.

Sean i am happy now but took forever to get right. Wish i had a scan tweeter in there. My biggest stumbling block wasy insistance to use the 18W just because a 4 way looks cool. Your format makes souchore sense. The other problem was the taming of the mid. I had it crossed just a touch to high...

Definitely looks better than any of the 70's speakers

Very cool Sean. Would love to see your crossover. I have used the mid I got from you with a sb acoustic tweeter

But a quick look at the specification the resonant frequency stands out. 82hz incredibly high for such a big driver. I wouldn't use it

Gerlach Shoot me a pm with your details and then i can possibly walk you through all required steps

I am not to sure about your enthusiasm. Although he does have some interesting ideas and some do actually make a difference. His build quality of his early products should stickly be kept in his back room and never seen the commercial market

Unfortunately it is a fact of life. You are only so much involved with what is part of your immediate life and that what you are removed of. Hopefully I will be able to still be able to give some kind of positive contribution and also to promote a product I am leaving behind and with some kind...
