You have no idea what you have unleashed sound22card :-)Not that DACs in phones are "awful", but with the exception of a few LG models (and no doubt others), they are not very good either. There are some good DACs that connect directly to phone US... 
Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really
It does. Thank you. I have used a lot of equipment over the years, but not the ADC1. Always heard good things about it.  
Watts and power
listening99,Unfortunately, I could not find much in the way of testing of the STA200, and as you probably know, the marketing literature is very sparse w.r.t. details.  There is this test on AudioScience    https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum... 
Why go out???
If you are going to a cinema for good sound, then best to search out Imax theaters. From a sound perspective, they are significantly better than old 70mm theaters. They will also have higher end projectors, brighter images, and better screens. The... 
Who else here is frugal?
As there is no absolute measure of value in audio past a certain point, say about an arbitrary $20-25,000 system (not including the room), there is no relation between price and value. It is akin to a luxury purchase like jewellery, and unlike a c... 
DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor
Goeffkait, can you use that expertise and review my math wrt the spring resonance for the OP?Blueranger, what is the spring constant of the new springs (57 lb rated)?   As your platforms are not overly large, shorter springs as well would be "safe... 
DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor
If the room us vibrating the walls are already enormous speakers.When the woofer is already moving way more from say turntable rumble and your music is riding on top of that, does seismic motion matter? Seismic motion us predominantly <10 Hz an... 
Another marketing gimmick?
The GaN device he is using is obsolete. That is why he had to buy up all the inventory. That is why he needs to switch to a new one for the next gen devices. Designed for class-D audio is specious. Designed for a particular implementation of Class... 
Cheap Speaker "Isolation" Solution for 300 lb. Speaker
Sorbothane can easily support this weight, it is just a matter of choosing the right hardness of Sorbothane and the right total surface area of the Sorbothane. Springs are easy as well, again, just need to pick them correctly. It is easier to get ... 
No binding post/ Amp hardwired to speaker wire. Anyone tried it
+1, well played Miller   :-)They will pry my tin-lead solder from my cold, dead, and burned in too many places hands. 
Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really
At the risk of your system being put down orpheus10 (not by me), care to share what you are doing for your A/D, and what the parameters are, i.e. 24/192, 2xDSD, bandwidth settings of the ADC, etc.   
Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?
What is with the personal attacks on members here. If you can't deal stick to the content of the people's posts, then don't post. This is nothing but a deflection.I have yet to have someone show me to be "frequently wrong". IMHO, which is what vir... 
Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?
HEY MODERATOR, before deleting, note this is a reply to a post by Clearthink, unrelated to the topic, meant only to be a personal attack on me, one based on his lack of understanding of a previous post in a different thread. He has repeated this a... 
Watts and power
It couldn't possibly have anything to do with amplifier architecture and pleasant soft-clipping. Nope, it couldn't possibly be that. It probably has nothing to do with the rated power at your speakers lowest impedance either. 2 watts of SS power t...

Posting some of Nassim Taleb’s definitions again. You know that guy who wrote a book considered one of the most influential in the 20th century, and has held many distinguished posts, not some guy who has no science training, never worked in the s...
