Hello Head-Fiers,
Allow me to pick your brains and help me understand some terminology and how they work. I tried googling some stuff, but I don't understand as I have no engineering or electrical background.
So if you have patient can you explain some terminology for me?
As I went through Audio-dg's website and the Compass thread, these are the questions I have.
Is HDAM and Opamp being used interchangeably? I read from Marantz that HDAM is their proprietary technology, so confused me that Audio-dg would sell proprietary Marantz technology.
What is an HDAM?
What is an Opamp? I gather Opamp can be used to increase gain? And try to balance input and output, but I don't really know what that means. I also don't understand how it can affect sound.
If an amp is discrete means there is no Opamp? So what is the difference between discrete and having an Opamp.
I noticed on Audio-dg's website, it doesn't seem any of their DACs or Amps use their Sun, Moon or Earth Opamps, so why do they sell them?
If you can answer my questions, I would very much appreciate it, and well I will have learned a lot of new stuff today.
Thanks.
