So, I asked earlier about the gain stage and the RCA out, since I needed some gain to drive two active amps (subwoofer+pair of Adam Audio monitors). This was just the ticket. It's replacing a SYS. I like having the passive option, but I like the sound of the gain stage even at low levels and it...

Apologies if this has been covered in this thread: Does the gain switch affect the RCA out? I am looking for an active preamp to drive my active monitors and active sub, and passive isn't cutting it for me. Basically I want a SYS with +12 dB gain. I'm not interested so much in the headphone...

Fulla 3 question for you folks: Does the ADC record both from the mic input and the analog line input, or just the mic input? It would be cool if I could mix the mic input with whatever I send through the analog input and have it get into the ADC. It looks from the docs like the analog in that's...

Mike, perhaps you could expand upon what you mean when you say what I've bolded. I would imagine some of that is proprietary, but maybe not. I can math to Calc3/Diffeq.

There's reverb, and then there's reverb.

I'm curious as to what operating system and software you are running on the NUC. At some point I am going to need to replace my squeezebox Touch. Are you using the USB output into the Mimby?

What's funny is when I did my own Uber upgrade the LEDs didn't line up but I liked it because I could still tell that they were on, just much dimmer. Then I get the multibit upgrade and those crafty Schiitters got them lined up perfectly again! Time to order some dimmers...

I just revisited this thread after a month (have been busy). I'm currently on holiday in Croatia. I am in love with the Adriatic! I didn't know the ocean could not smell bad :) I will reserve judgment on the Gadget until I hear it. I am a bit suspicious of a small pitch shift making such a huge...

I too am a "lowly" Bimby owner. I may never upgrade, it's that good. I could seriously live with this things until my ears turn to dust.

Nice keyboard... clickety click...

I believe the reason why some cables are "directional" is that on one end the shielding is not terminated, supposedly to keep noise low. Or something.   Bluejeans are what I use and as "fancy" as I'll get. It's funny how cables stop mattering when you stop thinking about them.

Great chapter, Jason. I especially enjoyed the power supply section. The loathing of switching power supplies is understandable if they are not shielded/filtered properly. I used to be active on ham radio on the HF bands (think AM/shortwave radio). For a long time I was plagued with a very high...

Well, you'll get no argument from me. All my cables are Bluejeans. I just don't worry about cables very much. So long as it's the right gauge, shielded well, and has low capacitance, and decent connectors, I just don't sweat it. I don't subscribe to the cables-as-magical-equalizers line of thought.

There is a large space between both extremes.

Thanks, I get it now. I am thinking of getting a Yggy, but need more time with the Bimby - which might be good enough for me. I have to tell myself that anyway.
