  1. The Peachtree GAN400 has been measured at ASR. Decent power output but overall measurements are not 'state of the art', compared to some of the better Purifi and Hypex amps. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/peachtree-gan400-amplifier-review.42910/
  2. Free postage included. It also functions as a superb pre-amp with remote control - balanced input and output. Some reviews: 1. https://headfonics.com/smsl-sp400-review/ 2. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/smsl-sp400-review-headphone-amp.19346/ 3. https://www.headfonia.com/smsl-sp400-review/
  3. I've got an SMSL SP400 listed. Balanced in and balanced out and remote control. Relay based volume control, so you get much better channel balance than volume potentiometers. Even if you don't use the excellent headphone amplifier, it will function as a great pre.
  4. Yeh i've got this with the official Innomaker 3.5mm to XLR cables, hooked to amp with XLR inputs. It's really good. But agreed, I wouldn't buy this to hook up with RCA with an unbalanced amp.
  5. Can't understand why the shop would mention anything about XLR to RCA. The DAC doesn't have XLR outputs and your amp doesn't have XLR inputs. You can use a stereo 3.5mm to dual RCA , no worries. https://www.amazon.com.au/UGREEN-Cable-3-5mm-Stereo-Splitter/dp/B015PZ7QO2/
  6. Don't need strength if you're hooking up to an integrated amp. Just a simple stereo 3.5mm to dual RCA will work fine. Does your amp take XLR input?
  7. His notes: Recommended glue is CT1 - it sticks to PLA well enough and doesn't set too quickly allowing the whole speaker to be screwed together before it begins to dry. This allows any spill over to be wiped away (use an old brush to get inside the air guide etc). Sets with some amout of flexibility. Readily availabe in the UK but not sure about equivalents for other territories. Visit the Forum or Discord server to see what the community recommends for each region. SAFETY NOTES ON PLASTER OF PARIS: If you're stupid with it, it can be dangerous. NEVER put your hands/feet/whatever into plaster of paris EVER. It can suddenly set without warning, creating a lot of heat in the center, so you'll get burned or worse. Because of this never leave a batch of wet plaster of paris in reach of children or pets. Wearing a mask is recommended to not breathe in any dust, and goggles to stop it splashing into your eyes. Stay safe people!
  8. This was interesting. Using plaster of paris mixed with glue
  9. Any plans @March Audio for more affordable amps, like Infineon MA5332MS based? To complement your top tier Purifi amps
  10. Further Information: This model here: https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/dell-laptops/inspiron-15-laptop/spd/inspiron-15-3520-laptop 11th Gen i5-1135G7 CPU. 8gb RAM, 256gb SSD model. Includes Windows 11 Home 64-bit. Has been factory reset (see photos) Price includes shipping. Original boxing and invoice provided.
  11. This is the 5kV version, which is the highest rated isolator that Intona make. See screenshot below showing my model. Price includes free shipping anywhere in Australia
  12. Further Information: Price includes shipping. Full technical details here: https://www.smsl-audio.com/portal/product/detail/id/795.html Also selling my SMSL SP400 headphone amp (separate listing). Great pairing with balanced TRS to XLR connection.
  13. Further Information: Full technical details here: https://www.smsl-audio.com/portal/product/detail/id/725.html This features a relay based volume control, not a volume potentiometer - so you get excellent channel balance. And remote control for volume too. I purchased this at Addicted To Audio in March 2023 - still heaps of local warranty remaining. Invoice provided. Original box, remote control, power cable included. Also selling the excellent SMLS D-6 DAC which pairs nicely with balanced outputs.
  14. Hi, no you can't use the dual balanced 3.5mm outputs But there is already a 3rd 3.5mm output which is stereo unbalanced - and you can commonly find 3.5mm stereo to dual RCA cables.
  15. I look at the 5W performance measurements for some newer amps and I have to double check if I'm looking at a DAC measurement
  16. Possible for you to share the Dirac before and after, squiggly lines ?
  17. Yep I was going to suggest this method. I spec'ed my own PC in big Fractal Design case, biggest Noctua fan, big PSU, Kingston RAM, Samsung Nvme SSD. I added $200 for Scorptec to build it for me (includes build warranty) and it still came out way cheaper than the pre-built PC's that come in fancy looking cases etc. Local pickup. So any warranty issues, local drop-off.
  18. Hi Jorgen, on Windows I tried the latest MAD but I sometimes get some pops. On macOS, no pops at all with VAD driver. Best SQ for me now is with Linux. Merging now have a good ALSA driver for Linux. So I run HQPlayer on Linux (Ubuntu Desktop 22.04) and it outputs directly to Anubis via ALSA over the network. Of course for measurements I am forced to use MAD for Acourate. Sometimes I get pops during the measurement so I need to re-do until it is clean during the sweeps
