Hello guys!
This is my first post since joining the forum.
I was oblivious of the criticism before I purchased my amplifier and making recommended fixes to improve the quality and safety of the product as I am living in Korea and it's hard to make the return.
I'm going to follow the instructions on @Rick Sykora's guide on the VTV Amplifier first.
I'm wondering if there are more stuff that I should be concerned about.
Also, I have a main concern about switching the R17 resistor on the Eval-1 board as to change the gain setup.
I'll be pairing the Amplifier with a Topping D90LE with preamp mode enabled. I've heard that the DAC can provide max 5V RMS.
I'll be powering up a KEF R3's and probably going to listen around 70dB max 80dB since I live in an apartment and the speakers will be mainly used on the weekends and after work at night.
Is using the no buffer (bypass configuration) on the Eval-1 going to be enough to achieve the volume I want?
Otherwise what should I change the R17 resistor to? (I'm thinking around 6dB of the Front-end gain so around 6.6 kOhms ) ~20dB total including the purifi modules.
I appreciate all help!
Thanks,
Ben
