    Co-Create LCXX Physical VU Meter Matrix Switcher Survey

    Yes, an option that includes a built-in preamplifier which allows both amplifiers to play simultaneously.

    Linear power supply PSU20

    In my opinion, the best option is the second one: adding another DC input port to allow switching between the internal power supply and an external one. This way, it's possible to choose between the standard or an external linear power supply depending on the need. I believe the first option...

    Linear power supply PSU20

    After careful consideration, I have to admit that the idea of installing USB sockets is indeed very useful and an excellent idea, especially for powering external devices such as the SK01 or the AH01A LED.

    Co-Create LCXX Physical VU Meter Matrix Switcher Survey

    I would keep the excellent warm vintage light used in the LC30, rather than the white one shown in the photo.

    Preamp Q8 Desktop DAC Preamp Development Log

    If the SUB RCA output is affected by the volume and tone controls of the main output (even if it's stereo), it creates a dependency that limits the flexibility of the system. In practice, it becomes difficult to manage a second pair of speakers independently using a preamp such as the P3 or P4...

    Preamp Q8 Desktop DAC Preamp Development Log

    I'm referring to a direct line output, optionally equipped with a sensitivity control separate from main output, to allow connection to a second amplifier, with in turn makes it possible to connect two additional speakers to be strategically placed in a room. Basically, for someone who has, for...

    Preamp Q8 Desktop DAC Preamp Development Log

    Charlese, I would like the project to include a trasparent line out, not affected by volume control or other active stages, to which I could connect a second independent amplifier. This would allow me to eventually add another pair of speakers in strategic positions within my setup, providing...

    MY REVIEW OF FOSI AUDIO K7 based on my listening experience

    Surely this is due to particular personal needs, for example I tried to play with discord and world of warcraft and it didn't give me any problems, I keep the two volumes, the game and the chat, separate, which is what interests me. What game do you have problems with?

    MY REVIEW OF FOSI AUDIO K7 based on my listening experience

    For the record, I should inform you that my Mac also does this with my Apollo Twin professional sound card that costs over $1000. So I don't think it's a defect of the K7.

    MY REVIEW OF FOSI AUDIO K7 based on my listening experience

    I just checked with my mac with sequoia 15.4.1. In UAC 1.0 the volume remains the same even if the slider moves. In UAC 2.0 instead the control is done from the device but this for example also happens with my professional sound card. In my opinion, it is still much more convenient to control...

    ZD3 & 2 ZA3 Op Amps

    In my Za3 I put Muses 02 and I have to say that the sound is very velvety. The Sparkos are very open on the high mids and are unforgiving. I don't know the Vivio and I would be very curious to know how they sound in za3.

    Fosi Audio V3 Mono Frankenstein Edition

    I have been using my 2 x v3 mono for several months now in a niche above the musicla fidelity cd player which also works as a great heat sink and I must say that despite continuous use I have never had any heat problems. I had thought of inserting a fan on the side given the limited space but...

    Op Amp rolling - ASR view

    I found the definitive solution in my 2 mono v3 by putting 2 sparkos in the L and R channels in each one and 1 muses 2 which to tell the truth changes the sound very little but since I had them in excess they worked very well. I'm still curious to hear the version with the Bursons but having the...

    Op Amp rolling - ASR view

    I assure you that I tried both the ZA3 and the V3 mono with different op-amps and a new sonic universe opens up. I posted an article about the muses 02 and sparkos test

    This is my review of the Fosi Audio K7 based on my listening experience. (In the attached PDF file, the complete document with photos is included) I am a music enthusiast. I don't chase detail at all costs, but I attach great value to sound quality without going to extremes. I’m not...
