A 20 year-old fantasy, finally "a dream within a dream" ...
Bottom line:
Plug-n-chug myriad diy digital devices into a common battery-powered headphone-amp/IEM combo, with swap time < 1min. Take notes. Compare/contrast. Report as necessary. This thread as main reference.
Other DREAM features:
COMMON: Input (line) device -- such as a well-functioning, up-to-spec CD player (shown); and output stage (as shown: Rudolf Broertjes’ SS I/V Gain Stage, much-modded ).
In-BETWEEN: "Plug-n-chug myriad diy digital devices"
Other goals :
Plug-n-play (but not hot swap, to protect electronics!)
Occams' Razor
All-things/else-held equal
ABX and objectivitist-freindly
Use of test equip. and software for metrics and data acq.: FLIR, DSO, SA, Cosmos ADC.
"Bottom line" is a combo of tools, techniques, developed over time, and its evolution.
Update this thread as necessary.
Vocabulary and grammar: Noun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, metaphor, etc.
More coming soon ...
