Quote: In what positions?   OPA827AID in the I/V and AD797BRZ as the buffer?

Quote: So you use the AD797BR  only in the I/V? What is a good opamp to use with AD797BR for the buffer? I generally don't trust sources from China as they use knockoff/fake opamps. How can that guy sell two AD797BRs on an adapter for $11 bucks !?!

I've been looking at the spec sheet on this DAC. It has 2VRMS differential drive with 1k load BUT only 100pF load capacitance! This means that the buffer is VERY IMPORTANT in the design. I'm curious about the bal-se conversion. I'm very curious about the buffer then as this would be most...

DAC/DSP with modular outputs that are scalable by adding additional output stages. The top of the line Sabre can do 8 channels per package... hmm... the possibilities!   Once you hear a loudspeaker that does xover in the digital domain then to good converters it's hard to ever go back!  ...

That's great to hear in this economy Jason and I tip my hat to your sourcing morality and in house fabrication!   Would you perhaps ever use your industry contacts to release a power amp at a decent price al la Emotiva XPA line price points? Or a pre-amp? But built/fabricated in Montebello...

wow wait a second here...   Are we talking about a headphone amp here or a power amp?   It's my understanding that very few headphone drivers are balanced. I thought for the most part it was simply a 4 conductor cable to eliminate common ground for crosstalk etc at the cable segment. Or...

Quote: hmm... intend to use in the studio for monitors?   WOW if studio engineers and producers have noticed this thing...   I guess Antelope is gunna have to rethink their pricing matrix !     Not that it isn't OUTRAGEOUS in the first place! But hey I guess he could be...

OMG if these guys can pump out US made Kessler'esque inspired true differentials at price points slightly above Emotiva level...   Jason...   YOU'LL SELL MANY THOUSANDS OF UNITS!   and all us little fishes will LOVE YOU!

Quote: I wonder how much of that is due to the analog output section and HF amp, in particular the tubes. How does the Lyr compare to the solid-state headphone amp? I'm curious if a balanced output stage DAC is in the works as I'm going to be using it for a HT rig that doubles for two...

I just love the name   ROTFL   I'm going to get the product just because of the bloody name!!!   ROTFL   Do you think Kingwa's USB option is better than getting the Bifrost with USB? It's only $50 bucks more...   A lot of highend boutique gear uses fancy European names even...

I'm thinking heavily about purchasing this DAC. I'm also thinking of picking up Kingwa's Digital Interface USB for $140 bucks. It ends up being only $40 bucks more to add USB over the Bifrost USB option.   Opinions?   Also how does this DAC compare to Kingwa's NFB-10SE or other lower...

I just recently purchased an Asus Xonar Essence ST and I also ordered an H6 daughter board. I wish to replace the stock op-amps. I'm looking at the LME49710HA-ND TO99-8 x 2 mono cans on an adapter for L/R. For the H6 I'll use LME49720NA-ND 8-MDIP x 3 for the buffer stage. I'm curious what...

I'm trying to find an H6 but nobody has them in stock!

You need to enter the windows audio control panel playback devices, the right click speakers and select "configure speakers" and set the speaker count to 5.1
