yep, its just a temporary case so wont look like this for long, but i'm pretty much done with the current design. its a mix of very high objective spec (kills ODAC+O2) as well as some audiophile overkill for good measure. will be...

portable hifi isnt silly, it just needs the right brand of commitment =) this is home hifi that just happens to be transportable, performance is closer than I would like to my home rig. power to burn, clean as a whistle, 40bit digital...

5W into HE-6?. if you can get 1W into HE6 without going deaf i'd be very surprised. now that takes considerably more than a 1W amp, but I think most would be very surprised just how little power a 100W speaker amp designed and biased for...

coax on mini is a hack, not a standard, RCA is bad enough, doesnt meet the 75ohm spec, mini would be complete mess, each type/brand of minijack would have a totally different impedance, none of which would be 75ohms. then of course with...

nope, you missed my point, I was mainly on about the F5 class A bias, which is aimed at a specific load and headphones are pretty far from it. far from the loudest levels, it'll probably be the softer levels you would notice it if...

yeah I was thinking i'd lower the gain, my point above re F5 is mainly due to it being class A biased for lowZ speaker loads and fairly low rails, you wont get much class A into K1000 with 15V rails (standard for an F5) just not sure how...

I ask, just so I can see what /I can do about bringing these 14W class AB, these are my tweeter amps but should work well, I was going to try to bring them anyway, will see. speaker taps dont really have much to do with it, just...

still using something designed for plugging unplugging live as part of its very existence to argue? low bandwidth, line level (yes the thing being plugged is line level) every switch shunted most likely. if it didnt work that would be...
