If you want you can take a deal with me and buy the item with my little respect. Feel free to ask me how to perform it in a private mesage. Thanks.   Possibly my work on a project MA9 can be interesting  for somebody... Quote:

At first my congrats for good investigation! :) And at second I must to say that IIS bus must have an MCK (master clock Line) which could be taken on the pin 18 of DSD1702.

I' ll be glad to take it but unfortunatelly Im in Russia. And I could say you that if your X5L will reach my hands it become an alexmod one and will be love by somebody many-many time else...

Here is some my thoughts about MR-1. Unfortunatelly in russian so please use google translate engine. Possibly I 'll tweak it if have enought free time.

Thanks for reply and good words about my project.  I think it isn't so bad that I use your measurements without credits? BTW measurements of aleXmod#010 for  above mentioned comparsion was perfomed by Belarussian audiophile Afart from russian headfi forum..

It's all depends on headphones sound signatures I think. I'd do the best to made as smooth & neuitral DAP as it possible..

That is it!

If there are any questions - welcome, I' m here..

Just my 5 cents to the desribing of Tesla's sound. (setup is as short as it could: just my aleXmod+T1) That headphones made with not natural FR, it's made with akind of *wow* effect in mind. It demostraites *a lot of details* sound signature, that SERIOUSLY masked low frequencies...

Akind of recense from Kostalex (aleXmod plus Beyer Tesla 1 is a killer stuff i think ) http://www.head-fi.org/forums/6555733-post1.html I hope it will be shared soon..

This one is my own premial version of aleXmod based on TI PCM1794 DAC, LM6172IM OA as I/U covertors and THS6102 OA as output amp chip. All elecrolityc caps is Rubycon Black Gate, PK in analog PSU, NX-HQ in REF pin of DAC. 1% resistors and NPO SMD caps around..

Some remarks. Kostalex has used my CDP for testing. It is NOT stock Marantz CD63 (KIS edition)! It is completely different design, which use only the body, PSUs and CDM12.3 transport. DAC based on simple multibit design with AD1865 stereochip. When used as USB DAC (I has made an USB input in...

Agreed, RE252km is good headphones. On par with Sleek-audio SA-6 feeded by 56Ohm resistance from good source...

There is total test of aleXmod #004 Форум

There are some mesurements of aleXmod player perfomed by tektronix AM700: Форум More information will be presented some times later..

There are some short information 'bout the project: aleXmod - оÑÐ½Ð¾Ð²Ð½Ð°Ñ Ð¸Ð½Ñ„Ð¾Ñ€Ð¼Ð°Ñ†Ð¸Ñ/ general information about project - 3 Ð¯Ð½Ð²Ð°Ñ€Ñ 2010 - ПерÑональный Ñайт

it sounds like definition without any harsh plus absense of clouds. Neitral, possibly uninvolving for ordinary not skilled listener... is it what you mean?

The Fr smoothness really can be estimated via simple sweep-tone test. From there it is clear that DT-48 do the flat listening response when used supraaural way (as seen in DT-48A ones). The modern ones use circum-aural design as more comfortable, but it must to be corrected by EQ for flat...

All for you, my little audiophiles BTW all my thoughts about design approach is clear fom translation?

I hope it would be usefull for DT48 lovers. Unfortunatelly in Russian, please be patient and use google translator technique. If you have any question - just ask me Форум If any interested i 'll try to translate it by myself...

There are something really HOT: Форум

It's joke. I use ordinary cotton pads in little quantity, place them inside of the silicon tips. It is get good tonal balance on the unwarmed RE0. When Re0 has warmed i just uninstall it. After all I think that SA6 feeded throu the 56 Ohm resistance is the best IEM for me. RE0 stay close but...
