So the 7805 can sound better than a modern LDO, understood and duly noted.
If and when I'll buy a DAC based on the AK4499 I'll make sure I pop the lid and check out the regulator; If it's anything but a 7805, in particular one of those QFN leg less monsters, I should let the salesman know about one Mark4 on the DIYAudio forum and his amazing conclusio,n then pass the deal, right?
Last speakers were 95db/W.....new ones are 98db/W
Idk what’s not making sense except for the utter lack of respect for my hearing?
tbh, I’ve been around extremely loud music my entire life and can still hear up to 15k......if anything my hearing is getting better (at least in the range I can still hear!)
poking around the web there’s some mention about genetics being involved as to how sensitive one is to loud noise.
Edit......yah, wow....I always liked the way Dave carried himself. RIP

Ya ever use generalization?
It’s kinda hard to cover every minutia of detail when posting.....what kind of music? The loud kind. 😉

Paranoia - WikipediaBut once you put into the formula that he (affiliated with jam's audio business) has gone into the full blown shill mode now (was in sleeper mode when he joined this forum), then it makes sense.
...
Then that would be called "alleged audio professional".

What has Jam Somasundram ever did to you that you find it offensive for anybody to give an opinion on his work? Are you trying to tarnish his good reputation?But once you put into the formula that he (affiliated with jam's audio business) has gone into the full blown shill mode now (was in sleeper mode when he joined this forum), then it makes sense....
Exactly, its like saying an audio compressor at low compression ratio is adding 35% distortion. Why do people who should know better get away with this kind of BS? The paper up till then was acurrate, too bad.
What I see as the biggest problem with thermal compression is the varying amount/time constants of different drivers affecting the freq. response.
just thought of some snake oil that sounds believable, refrigerated speakers! With a beer compartment.
No need to get wacky with the physics, but not planning to get into details anyway.
Sorry to hear about DF96, I wondered about him too.
Why, go ahead, I dearly miss a lecture on pataphysics. In particular debating solid state physics with "audio professionals" is an endless source of entertainment.

No, but I claim you are looking for a differentiator, aka a "secret sauce", for your AK4499 DAC development. A known obsession of all "audio professionals".
