    Swapped opamps in RSA Intruder and F35 lightning

    So I blew up the stock opamps inside my RSA intruder by accident. I had the gain on high, and the volume on max and plugged it the source which was also on max. One pop and it was dead. RSA said to send it in, but I thought about it for a while and ordered four AD8397ARDZ opamps from Mouser...

    Revamping my audio gear. Let's chat to a newbie.

      Unfortunately, I lost my super.fi 5 pro's.   Because I am selling a lot of personal things, I will have money to put towards audio equipment. I plan on selling the HD555s because I will purchase Westone W4's for use at the PC and portably. Now, I don't know about the rest. I hear things...

    Please tell me the gain-range arms race is over ... plus, feedback for designers

    Now that there's a host of truly portable amps capable of driving any over-the-ear headphone (RSA Intruder, ALO Rx MK3-B, Portaphile 627, etc.), please tell me the gain-range arms race is over. Am I alone in thinking the true market demand for amps of this sort should be limited given that...

    THE INTRUDER by RSA. balanced dac/amp. . Update available for even better sound. Just pay shipping.

I have to admit that using its cousin, the 71b, I was expecting great sound and since the form factor is the same, was curious how the Intruder would stack up with the same size case and now incorporating USB. To start right off, I have never been a big fan of USB...

    RSA Intruder or HiFi-M8 for CIEM

    It appears my decision making just got a whole lot more difficult, so I though I'd better consult with the experts! Keep in-mind that I have very little experience with portable HP amps and zero experience with other RSA and HiFi products. I will add that I like to single unit DAC/amp...

    Double blind testings?

    Hello,   if we speak about sound quality of transistor amps, and differences between them, there's often a subjective tendence to push the better built / more expensive amp vs. the cheaper one, no matter if there's a real differ in sound or not.   We made doubleblind testings between...
