Where? I saw they say all outputs in that announcement.

Is PEQ available via Toslink input?

Just a quick update. After using these for a long while now in a near field setup toed out to be perpendicular to the front wall, I decided to go back to angling them slightly towards me. I have them at a very slight angle, between 10-15 degrees - the imaginary line where they intersect is way...

This is an interesting little device with a high pass filter. Has anyone measured whether engaging the high pass filter at any of its settings has an impact on SINAD? @amirm, any input on this? It would be interesting to know if the HPF is purely analog or is the entire signal digitized before...

@solderdude , I really respect your opinion so I want to ask for an advice. I’ve always had class A/B speaker amps such as my current one, Yamaha A-S501, and I’m happy with it. On the other hand, I’ve always wanted to have a class D amp as a backup. Would you recommend the ZA3 for this purpose...

In my case, ground loop noise only exhibited itself when there were multiple paths to the ground between different devices that were interconnected. In other words, when two or more of these devices used three-pronged grounded electrical plugs. It made absolutely no difference whether they were...

If one does not have an actual ground loop, the benefits of USB isolators are marginal and inaudible. However, these little gems can be a life saver for people who do have actual ground loops where the benefits are very real and easily audible. A few years ago, I had a PC with a powerful graphic...

For anyone that is genuinely intrigued by the Beatles and would like to try and get into their music, I would highly suggest listening to their The Beatles in Mono boxset. The simple reason is that most of their catalogue was recorded, mixed and released in mono. More importantly, stereo...

Don’t want to spoil it for people who’ve never seen the show. Funny thing is, very few people on the show actually knew how did it since the producers decided to shoot alternative versions in which pretty much the whole cast took turns shooting JR. :)

Dallas, the original one, from 1978.

Too late for pics, I already installed the part :). The soldering part was very easy actually. A perfect fit. The only part where I screwed up a bit was when I put everything back together, I forgot to plug in one of the front molex connectors - see the pic. After I powered the unit up, the...

So, the incoming signal is split and the subwoofer out side then goes through an analogue low pass filter?

Does the subwoofer out on this unit operate in digital domain? I am wondering if the signal is going through an additional AD and then DA conversion. If that is the case, it may be preferable to simply split the signal out of a DAC and feed it to a subwoofer and adjust the low pass filter...

I just measured the temperature of the top my Yamaha with an IR Temperature Gun and it ranges from 30-40C (86-104F) with the hottest spot inside the amp being the heatsink at 45C (113F). My room goes up to 26C (78F) during summer, while downstairs is kept at 22C (71.6F).
