Isn’t it obvious? Keith

I continue to be amazed that the Chord ‘Dave’ has such poor internal filtration/regulation that it can be improved by a ‘better’ power supply. You really ought to write to Chord and complain. Keith

Contemporary well designed oversampling DACs sound more or less identical, I suspect that the one box solution did sound exactly the same. The OP was sold some expensive snake oil products that will not improve sound quality, the tragedy is that this practise continues with the support of magazines, manufacturers and dealers, shame on them. Keith

@ the OP, just because you have a small room doesn’t mean you have to use speakers which have a limited bass response. It is completely possible to enjoy a full range sound, it just requires acoustic measurement and then adjusting the speakers output with a touch of EQ. Keith

A photograph of the new ‘studio’ version of the Dutch&Dutch 8C, available in black only it has M10 threads for stand mounting. The enclosure is MDF rather than solid oak and it lacks ‘roon ready’ capability however it will be cheaper than the standard 8C. Keith

MIniDSP processor and a microphone, perfectly integrated subs, frequency, gain, phase , order, high/low pass all for a couple of hundred dollars. Keith

I am afraid there is a huge amount of BS around, Audio Science review measure components and cut through to the facts. The Chord is however a decently measuring dac. Keith

The five filters that come as standard with the AKM chip are discussed and measured here, http://archimago.blogspot.com/2018/09/measurements-rme-adi-2-pro-fs-as-dac.html Q of 1.41 is equivalent to one octave, higher the number the narrower the ‘Q’. Keith
