My dac has 2.5VRMS output and my speakers are 90db sensitive.. I usually listen to music around 10-15 during the day and 3-4 volume late at night..  For movies 15-25.  low gain enabled.  I agree there's no loss of detail or quality even at volume ...

ocd hifi guy's recent video showing the kinki powering the magnepan .7 speakers with zero distortion even with volume at 100% has me considering them.. I was kind of long term planning on something like spatial m3 turbo s but the magnepan are also...

You have to ask for a custom preamp bypass rca input when you order.. I think it adds $100 to cost?  Very reasonable

yup!  Time to put the top back on and carry my old amp to the giant pile of unused amps in my closet :PHere's a sexy pic of the amp with no top on.  btw opening it is tricky, ask for help if you need to for some reason.  There's nothing inside to ...

Seems like the 2016 and 2025 are also compatible, but the 2032 will last longer because it's thicker and has more battery chemicals inside.  " The CR2016, CR2025, and CR2032 cell batteries all have the same voltage. The diameter of each battery i...

I think it might be cr2025, you can find them anywhere that sells those coin sized watch batteries

I went back to my old folsom tda7297 amp for a while.. wow the downgrade is definitely noticeable, although the folsom is still great and runs cool to the touch because it's only 15watts class ab..  Will switch back to kinki ex m1 soon

It's funny but my friend said his chord Dave dac was more sensitive to power cord changes than his amps so I've been using my nicest cord, a Grover Huffman with my dac and a diy 3 ft supra anniversary cord with my amp.  Hard for me to tell a diffe...

That's been the opposite of my experience..  I usually listen between 10-15 on low gain..  but I do listen very close to speakers...  But it seems to have as much power as my Odyssey kismet 200 watt monoblocks which have like 180000 uf in filter c...
