I have a dedicated thread on it already. So I'll stop cluttering this thread about it: https://www.miveraaudio.com/forum/raal-sr1a- Kelowna

It's just a hobby project for my audio club. I'm no longer in retail sales.- Kelowna

Oh Yeah I forgot. Great amps but the Purifi's with a proper input buffer eat them for lunch. I was considering making a direct drive unit, but then I discovered there's no advantage at all if you build a killer interface box. Sure I could build the interface box into the unit if I wanted to...- Kelowna

Hi Jon, Do you still have the 1200AS amp I sold you?- Kelowna

Interesting driver here: http://camerton-audio.com/binom-e I think once these make it into a set of headphones, the Headfi community is going to take some interest. I still haven't had a chance to build my Camerton full range speakers. But this box of a dozen drivers I have sitting here is...- Kelowna

I think you have been provided with the answer to this question already. Objectively 64 bit floating point DSP is far more versatile, and 100% transparent. However if noise and distortion is your bag, you might prefer old school analog eq. If the advice of others isn't working for you, the next...- Kelowna

For Roon users using the PEQ to add boost, always remember to subtract the same level in dB that you boost, from the headroom management. And enable the clipping indicator. Failure to do so will result in digital clipping with bass heavy tracks. Here's an example of adding a 7dB shelf for BSC on...- Kelowna

Yes this level of DSP can't be done on portable devices that can fit in your pocket. And the portability advantage goes out the window when you connect these DAP's to a Chord Dave DAC, Mscaler, Loki, speaker amp, interface box, then headphones. Unless you have awful big pockets and a large...- Kelowna

Recently I was examining a digital interface device that had built in DSP. The device was advertised as having a digital dynamic range of 144dB. So enough to resolve up to 24/96 PCM. However what they failed to mention was if you utilized any of the DSP features at all, that dynamic range drops...- Kelowna

Why is there Honda Civic's when we have S class Mercedes's? The best way to do EQ is with DSP. But not all DSP is equal in quality. And if you have an analog source, you must have a ADC/DAC combo to do DSP. And the quality of the ADC/DAC combo will determine your end result. So it can be...- Kelowna

Yes this is precisely what I plan with the Camerton speakers. Only using 64 bit floating point DSP. And the same technique will be used with these headphones. Some folks like to come up with theories based on their limited understanding of how things work. Others like to parrot what others have...- Kelowna

Nice speakers! I bet they sound great. I actually ordered a dozen of the latest driver design from the former head engineer at Voxativ. Pretty amazing technology. 35-30k frequency response, and a 10mm xmax from a 5" driver! Not cheap though around $3000 a piece landed cost. Review on his...- Kelowna

Here's what the creator of Audiolense has to say about FIR vs IIR for speaker correction. I have no opinion to offer at this point as I'm end results driven. and we have yet to see the results. "Eg OpenDRC which has limited FIR capacity gives more precise low frequency correction than anything...- Kelowna
