Post Subject: It's 1.25VRMS outputPosted by anthony on: 4/29/2019
Rowuk, a couple of corrections, but I am certainly not arguing.  First, the dac outputs 1.25VRMS, or thereabouts...I am going to measure it.  The 0.6VRMS is because I run it at -6dB into the Placette because for some strange reason it sounds better.  Other than full blast, -6dB is the only attenuation I have tried.  With my SS amp and 86dB speakers this is well loud enough in my room.

Secondly, the speakers Peter has are three-way, and as far as I know Peter only designed the crossovers and the DSP in the bass.  I don't know how they sound.  I would think that they can sound very good, but I have never really been fan of open baffle bass/anything.

Yes, Phasure are sort of an exclusive club.  Peter seems to make a lot of personal connections to people on the forum and I think he prefers to operate that way.  It is not a trivial digital ecosystem to get into, it can be quite complex, and the personal connection certainly helps Peter get things running for his clients.  But I also look back at the things that Peter has done first in digital and wonder how he could not be at the bleeding edge.

No balanced output on my NOS1a.  I had it removed and replaced with BNC, so my dac is singled ended output only.
