      Info provided by Audio friends is like a signal with distortion, where the distortion is known.

      Cirrus Logic dac is veiled AF! But! Doesn't create anything offensive.

        It's the kind of veil that can't be undone. The lack of live kind of veil.

        Funny, I have noticed the same. I tuned my speakers for the receiver(Cirrus Dac). Tried then with AKM Dac, way to bright.

        Sounds almost too good to be true because it solves nearly everything, but I really hope they can make it work. Carbon stuff aside even, a reliable source of fuel that doesn't come from volatile parts of the world so if someone farts the wrong way the price doesn't go up 50 cents a gallon sounds amazing.

        With brute force almost everything is possible. Key here is the 'dumb' power nuclear plants make in the night time and renewables can make a lot more than the grid can use in fortunate conditions.

      Tip for those using el-cheapo-fi pro soundcards for headpones: short out the retard high source resistance inside -> much better sound!

        More importantly output from guitar amp is no-no to headphone out after that. I presume this is why the Steinberg pos had 90 ohms there.

        If it makes you feel any better, enclosures just suck, period. They're pricey (especially in small quantities), fiddly, easy to get wrong, quick to scratch/dent...and, unfortunately, they're all that most people see.

        Indeed, I can appreciate that nice chassis costs 400 bucks for power amp. That, even though I have quite alright workshop with lathe, MIG welder etc etc to use..
        The thing is, it's boring, electronics is the fun stuff.
        DIY only makes sense for 'the fix' and things that Jason&Mike's Co has not yet ruined for us. Like.. I have a freaking diy Saga in my drawer, bought just months before Schiit made its move, derp :D

        After I wrap up a couple projects I'm working on, I have decided that my DIY projects should look like they're DIY.

        The big exception is large floor standing speakers.

      Mid-fi phones and mid-fi recodrings can make some serious music with JL69. Half of my library is usable again.

        Don't. Past 15", the woofers are more freakshow. It's not optimal in terms of mass, surrounds, magnets, etc.

    Will I see the day voice coil speakers have become obsolete?
