delivery services are just like amplifiers: some love how they sound and others hate how they sound. that itself says a lot about the wisdom of branding one carrier as good or bad.

Quote: ideally, you don't want the amp's input impedance (=R2//opamp's input impedance =~R2 since opamp's input impedance is much larger than R2) to overwhelm the pot - but even if that happens it is not the end of the world. some people asked me why letting R2 overwhelming the pot is...

the postal employee is right about the priority mail not guarantying 2-3 day delivery. i think this was heavily discussed when it first came out a few years ago and usps's commercials then said something like "2-3 day delivery to most places". well, at least you learned a lesson and...

Cmoy got the overall gain right but it was done via a 50% attenuation, achieved through R1/R2. and R1 is indeed needed. you don't want the opamp's base / gate to see the signal directly. R1 is there to help with parasitics. but R1 = 100K is just too big. 1K is a typical number, sometimes...

Quote: would higher impedance phones have less hiss at higher source volumes? hiss is almost a universal sign of opamp oscillating and you shouldn't have it at all if the amp is working properly. that aside, a higher impedance phone means less attenuation by R5, everything else...

Quote: Having read a couple of articles about the de-coupling, I was curious how much difference it would make if they were not placed right beside the DAC. I used to have tremendous amount of trouble to power on a 8dip PIC device: one out of 10 times it would power on but others it...
