It's the snake in the grass you need to watch out for - oops, I speak too late - he's already arrived - beware the venom😱If it’s anything like the bypass cap on the xo it takes some experimentation to get it right.....blurring was an issue.
And it’s not the uf values, or esr, But materials that made the differences.
Not exactly a popular topic with the EE’s....
Bracing for impact!![]()
You are just a wind up merchant aren't you? 😎
So the bypass cap close to the pin gives it the extra speed, just as using a small value cap on a HF xo (series cap) to increase transient speed?
You have a good teacher mountainman bob, go on!!!! 😀😀😀
JC is responsible for most of this. He supports spreading of alchemy and black magic into the crowds.
<snip> More importantly we have to read 500 pages of literature on proper psycho-acoustic testing and religiously follow the protocol specified to even question their results.

Like I said just trying to relate my street skillz 😛
I never would have thought it to be so controversial.
What's "it"?I never would have thought it to be so controversial.

I’m soaking it up like an unbiased sponge.....if you don’t know both sides of an argument how else do you judge?
And I’m pretty sure all opinions hold some sort of value......even if it’s what not to do!
What's "it"?
Anything I’ve ever done apparently! 😀

Does that mean I can ask for someone to "prove" their results without the baggage?

It just means that your statement was absurd nonsense.
I think, a couple of years ago you would have stepped back from this kind of ....
Ordinary storage cap between battery & device being powered is usually detrimental to sound also. Bypass caps at pins are still needed so it's likely LF stability is the issue.
The noise of batteries is an old myth which doesnt apply to modern battery technology such as LiFePO4 - check out noise measurements of LifePo4 on here
But battery packs (as you purchased - sorry, not you but Tournesol bought smartphone battery pack) already have a voltage reg on the output so you won't get the full benefit of direct battery drive
Get yourself a LiFePo4 battery 3.3V & use it direct on digital audio device. Search for LiFePO4 on here & you will see some people discussing them
Please link the actual LiFePo4 noise measurements, I could not find them with a quick search.

Some people here are interested in psychoacoustics, it seems to me to be of particular import when it comes to speaker and room acoustics and design, am I the only one struggling to see much relevance in DAC and amplifier design?

Jakob just likes to post confounding nonsense whenever he sees an opportunity.

I’m finding it starts with the source on down through the line.
No, just making an observation about how often LIGO/Nobel prize is mentioned on audio forums as some sort of 'scientific' argument
Pick any major research project, LIGO, CERN, LLNL, even JNs place and find out where they use any of the crap dreamed up on audio forums. They use Science and Engineering. Luckily Audio is at least 50dB less demanding than precision analog...

Yes, but we have little control over that and most of us can only work with what we've been givenI’m finding it starts with the source on down through the line.
I'm getting the feeling this thread is getting a bit like doctors vs anti-vaxers.
As PMA says, everyone's an 'expert' in the internet age and although 'quiet to 9 digits' using good engineering is good enough for LIGO (where they have to specifically deal with the thermal noise of a few gold atoms bumping around on the laser mirror) its not good enough for audio.
And I have the temerity to I think I'm a hero because I can build a 1nV/rt Hz amplifier . . .
Go figure.

No you are not alone. But for some glomming and glopping things they can get away with avoids looking at the harder to solve issues. If something is below the level of the noise of the blood running through my ears I consider any improvements to be entirely for intellectual challenge (also called Sh*t and giggles).
Batteries are commonly used in instrumentation to provide portability and isolation from ground.
With 15 years in industrial measurement and instrumentation, I can assure you that only portability requires batteries.
No-one wants a DMM with a power lead.
But consider that the (probably) best bench meter available, Keysight 3458A, is mains powered.
Yes, but we have little control over that and most of us can only work with what we've been given
Well as with anything if no one wants ‘better’ than we end up with ‘good enough’.
I’ve never been a good enough kind of person.

Where does one look nowadays to find out the ciruit and wiring details about LIGO, CERN to show that they are using "crap".
I've read only a few publications about such details and got the impression that they were often similarly interested in details. (not for listening purposes, though )
@scottjoplin,
I've almost given up asking him questions
I'm glad about it. As you were able to change the meaning of your question 4-5 times within 4-5 oneliner posts, trying to keep track doesn't make sense.
Rubbish, you just have problems with straightforward questions and answers, that's obvious from your responses to people.I'm glad about it. As you were able to change the meaning of your question 4-5 times within 4-5 oneliner posts, trying to keep track doesn't make sense.
