    Best Sounding Class D?

    Just to make my own conclusion. 40A is amazing. I think the low level volume issue may be related to "poor" preamplification. These speakers, and the right room/treatment. I think nothing can beat them, even speakers at 5000dollars over the 40A price. 40A is the sweetspot. The taste of good...

    Best Sounding Class D?

    Totally I just need a good DAC,.....Thinking of Rupert Neve Fidelice. It depends on how low I should go I will test it in the coming weekend. Maybe I have not noticed it because I use the loudness function on the RME. I think this speaker needs a good preamp, not a digital one like in the...

    Best Sounding Class D?

    I am so impressed I can not describe it. The low end on these speakers has its own world. Its analytical, fast clean, the mid tone is floating, creamy and thick. The 40A is soo responsive, I feel the speed of the bass. It feels like an really active, active speaker. I have had alot of active...

    ATC CDA2 MK2: Drivers, USB DAC, Preamp etc......ATC SCM40A

    Hi There! So I have been looking for af preamp for my ATC SCM40A. I do still like CD, not very often but sometimes i like it, so that part is covered by the CDA2 but i do have some other questions. In 2021 it has been Roon tested and certified by Roon. There are no drivers on ATC website...

    Preamp: is ATC CA2 a good match for ATC40A?

    Oh my god. I switched filter from Slow to SD Sharp and heard a loud click sound!!! Firmware: 50 didnt happen on early version. Hope I didnt fry anything!!!! I can not hear it 2meters away, when no sound. They sound amazing. But that click noise was definitly not expected!

    Preamp: is ATC CA2 a good match for ATC40A?

    Yes I tried different cables and different mains. I guess it is in the “tolerance” of there testing. My dealer did say it was normal. Maybe my ocd is just a little more maybe.

    Preamp: is ATC CA2 a good match for ATC40A?

    @nopiano If you have the 40A can you please confirm if the selfnoise is noticable on the bass drivers? I notice the self noise only on one of the speakers. I have to set my ears close to hear it, But it is totaly silent on the other speakers bass driver. mid and tweeter is hearable when ears...

    Preamp: is ATC CA2 a good match for ATC40A?

    Without the Loudness function, specially the "Low Vol Ref" its very muted in the sound. The reason I made this thread was actually also the sound on low volume. I was told another preamp could improve the low volume listening :) Any recommendations? Quote:Note: Loudness works best in Auto Ref...

    Preamp: is ATC CA2 a good match for ATC40A?

    To update this thread. I had som more time with the ADi-2. Its actually getting better with the sound, even on the low volume, where Loudness function actually raised som of the lowend. I am just wondering why the stock setting of the width(equals full stereo when set to 1) is set to lower...

    Question Speakers: DAC and AMPS: Input Voltage, Output voltage, Sensitivity

    I entered the hifi world when I got my first Planar headphones and DAC/AMP. HifiMAN Sundara and iFi ZEN DAC and CAN. I Assumed it was enough just to buy the things that were recommended or first hand experience. The Hifi subject has for me become more advance than expected. I see all sorts of...
