Interesting to see what others have experienced with the Room Correction function. I tried it with my Android phone and the results were meh. I then figured that the microphone on my Samsung phone could be a major factor in the process and luckily I have little Zoom AM7 Mid Side Stereo mic...

I have a pair of Q Acoustic Concept 20's on sale on the forum and I can drop my price. It has been standing in my study unconnected for the last year and its a sin not to use them. https://www.avforums.co.za/threads/onkyo-a9010-integrated-amp-q-acoustics-concept-20s.102771/

Sadly I have to let you know that my brother Wessel, passed away suddenly last week.  I am sure many of you have had dealings with him over the years and have shared many an insight and quirky comment.  May he rest in peace. Mods, I presume you will deactivate his profile.

I've given Rick the feedback and he's quite happy to drop in price...  He does not want to waste the rare wood off-cuts he has and can do them for R500 each.  The type of wood will vary - unless something specific is requested. PM me if you want to take him up on this.

Hi all I'd like to see if there would be any potential interest.  I friend of mine is a traditionally trained master cabinet maker and as a result of the lock down, his business has suffered immensely.  He has re-opened, but has found the market to be completely dead. It is such a shame to see...

Apparently bumper spikes is a solution for touch parking in China.....don't think it'll catch on here though...  But - it is pretty useful as speaker spikes... You can buy them from China Town - around R80 for 4 and mount them with cabinet fittings (for mounting bolts in MDF of chip board)

I came across this explanation of the difference between RDac's and SD Dacs's....  makes intuitive sens e to me... http://sw1xad.co.uk/delta-sigma-vs-nos-r2r-dac-designs/

Here's a recent review of the RDac  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-W7v7tUl1Q I also tried my boet's Topping D50....  At first it was wow, this is crisp and detailed - but sadly, on my system, by the next day, it suddenly sounded harsh and fatiguing.  The Topping has fantastic measurements...

Please post your views and impressions "Ninja"  The more I listen to different tracks, the more I hear..  This afternoon I heard my speakers "disappear", like I've only ever heard one day at Achim's on a pair of Odeon floor standers, with Unison Research tube amps....

I can't stop listening to it - my old tired music is suddenly gorgeous all over again....

images from up My Airist RDac arrived yesterday!!  Confirmation bias is a fallacy...this is an awesome dac!!!  Initial listening impressions are that it is very neutral - no wizzbang theatrics.  It is a sophisticated sound, distinct, clear mids, shimmering highs and understated but solid bass. ...
