  If the E12A is .003% THD, what is the THD of the X5's HO?

Fiio quote < 0.003% @1 kHz and < 0.0025% @1 kHz for LO

NOT!

i do not think that i explained it right in english..
 
e12a might add less distortion than headphone out does, in the sense that it is able to separate instruments a little better. this is really fun to listen to and i really have no ideea how it does that, maybe it is only because it has a more silent noise floor, specially for iems...

The "Sound Science Fiction Forums" are a group of forums where every discussion begins and ends with "did you double blind test it? Because if you didn't then you don't know how science works."

It can't be transparent without a neutral sound sig, but it can have a neutral sound sig and not be transparent, by introducing other distortions.

If it's adding other distortions, then it is not neutral.

So, as all amps add distortion as you have stated, none can have a neutral sound sig...

All amps add distortion, that's not an opinion, it's a fact.

So you are correct, no amp can be perfectly neutral, they are all flawed.
I think the various thread members are offering the opinion that amp "X" is more neutral than amp "Y", etc, etc.

That's kinda true man....that is how good science works. However, as a scientist I reject that the scientific method is the only way of knowing truth, but it is very, very good way.

Can I suggest that all of this OT stuff be taken to PM.  Back to the X5 ......

 

[bavinck]

I thought we were talking about the x5....i guess not

Is it possible to make Playlists on the x5 itself and then export to pc? I cannot figure out how....

I haven't found a way to so far. I still find the way of making playlists on the X5 quite cumbersome - and usually just make them externally now, and then use folder view to activate them.

No. Much easier to make your playlists on PC and export them to X5

Thanks. Seems very strange considering one of the play categories is Playlists.
