    Burson V7 Classic Pro and V7 Vivid Pro - Hi-Fi audiophile solid-state op-amps

    You say this but I’m running two pair of V7 Vivids (over $300 in op-amps) in a pair of Fosi ZA3 mono blocs for my speaker chain ($200 in amps). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Ed

    Thanks for confirming. I will pass on this function for now then, but thanks for trying anyway! -Ed

    Hiby R6 Pro II (2023 Edition) - Launch, Hype, Thoughts & More

    Okay...this is somewhat confusing. Is it possible to use this without having to have a fixed sample rate for my music? And if so, exactly how is this configured? Do I leave the Fixed Sample Rate plugin disabled, and do I leave the same rate bypass setting in Convolution plugin unchecked? -Ed

    Hiby R6 Pro II (2023 Edition) - Launch, Hype, Thoughts & More

    Interesting. Well to be honest now I am not sure. Tapping (?) doesn’t really say anything. Someone else in the forum told me that this was cross feed. -Ed

    Apparently, this is Crossfeed. I’ve been using it and I do like it: -Ed EDIT: It happens to be unchecked at this moment because I am listening to my speakers today.

    The Reference 6SN7 Thread

    While I ordered my Psvanes from Viva Tubes, for the Linlais, I decided to chance it and buy from a seller on Ali Express. This is the specific seller: FEIYUE Electronic Tube Stock Supply Store https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOdcbhy I felt that over 100 previous buyers with a pretty high overall...

    The Reference 6SN7 Thread

    My set of quad matched Linlai E-6SN7 tubes finally arrived today and I rolled them in. Just beginning burn-in and I am already preferring them over the set of quad matched Psvane CV181-T MkII tubes that were there for the past couple of months. Although they’re brand new, I am, first and...

    In Case You Need to Power a DAP/Phone, and a Dongle DAC/Amp All While on the Go…

    Modern problems call for modern solutions, right? Well I’ve had a curiously difficult time finding the right cables/products need to: Allow a DAP or phone to feed digital audio via USB to a separate, USB/OTG-powered DAC while still charging/keeping the phone/DAP charged. Well as it turns out you...

    THE WATERCOOLER HEADPHONE EDITION – Headphones, Amps, DACs, and desktop/home audio related – a freewheeling discussion of gear, impressions, music, and musings.

    Just picked up one of these little toys to pay with, Little Bear B-4X balanced portable tube amplifier. Rolled some MUSES02 op-amps that I had laying around into it. Listened last night using my new cans, a pair of Monolith M1070C closed back planar magnetic headphones. Quite nice synergy...

    Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp

    Are you using All to 256? Try All to 128 or even 64; the lower resolution settings draw less power. The issue is primarily with iPhones that have Lightning ports—they don’t give enough juice. 15th generation iPhones and DAPs that use USB-C ports are okay with any setting. -Ed

    Introducing the xDuoo TA-66 OTL Tube Amplifier - Now Available on Apos Audio

    I saw the specification as 50ohms minimum for TA-66. Cannot remember where. That is why I decided to give the M1070C a try, as I figured I would test the limits of that specification out. -Ed

    Introducing the xDuoo TA-66 OTL Tube Amplifier - Now Available on Apos Audio

    Listening to the M1070C now with TA-66 using stock cables and I must admit the experience is fantastic. Even though these are closed-back, I feel imaging is superior to my HD 6XX. Sound is just more spacious, not so inside my head feeling. There does not appear to be a compatibility issue...

    Should be just fine. -Ed

    Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp

    Probably not. The converter just throws away the negative signal on each side, which then makes it like any other single-ended signal. -Ed
