This DAC/AMP Created a New Rating Rule! FX-AUDIO DR07 Review

[@AndiGomez-yu2dx]

8:26 I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of that album, Dark Side of The Bish.

[@charleskatz2606]

I am waiting for "Bish plays the Charles Manson Songbook" like those cool guys did int Guns an Rosses

[@Roddy451]

5:24 classic... the banner at the top of the video... 600 hours certified... So, a fair review... as expected

[@sighheinrich]

Thank you Mr. Scientific. Your KZbin career is going really well! The subscriber-count-curve is rising steadily - soon it's time for your first Lamborghini (that is not paid by your dad!)

[@scientificaudiophile]

Do you know what kind of power cables I could buy instead of getting a Lamborghini? I’ll continue to let my Dad push me in the wheelbarrow.

[@sighheinrich]

@@scientificaudiophile Remember to don't skimp on the cable lifters.. they matter at least as much as the cables. :)

[@wahid-lg1kk]

@@sighheinrich The lifters don't mean jack if they are on a floor that hasn't been coated in neutronium, 5 angstroms thickness..

100%. I demand to know when I'm wasting my money playing in MQA lol

[@wahid-lg1kk]

Most of the varying quality in Mqa is stupidity on the part of the patent holders, as the manufacturers of Mqa devices often fail to say how many times unfolding the device supports, or they will say full unfolding and it's actually 2x..so of course it sounds awful. A proper mqa made properly sounds great on a machine that supports 16x unfolding (rare). This is also three different factors that need to be properly implemented to get you that sound. The patent holders have never made any attempt to enforce this on liscencees. I will give an example. Shanling m1s dap.. Mqa in big letters on the back.. It actually only supports 2x unfolding, which is worse then a VBR MP3.

New subscriber. Love your perspective!

Thanks!

I saw Z Reviews rave review of the FX Audio DR07 & ordered one from Amazon. I agree for $169 it sounds fantastic. I only use the optical input. However there is an issue getting the unit to come on. It takes 10 to 20 attempts using the remote or the physical power button on the unit to get it to come on. It will come on & go off in about 1 second 10 to 20 times before it finally comes on & stays on. My solution is to never turn it off.

[@scientificaudiophile]

I didn't have that problem. Are you within the 30 day return window?

[@mikaisfake]

Great review

[@simonirvine1628]

Ask Audio GD if they will send you an all in one device, you could start with the D-28 (delta sigma) (USD780-850) 0r the R-28 NOS (R2R) (USD1150) it starts to get a bit more pricey after those. Take a look.

[@jimfarrell4635]

Well thanks a lot for reminding me of that abomination from Rose Technics. I had just about scoured it from my mind with mento-bleach and you go and bring all the trauma back again. Also those crappy remotes are slowly taking over my house. I think I am changing the volume of Diane Bish's classic Drain Salad Surgery, and instead the curtains open and the toilet flushes.

[@jimfarrell4635]

BTW, we're you aware Drain Salad Surgery was voted album of the decade (1970s, of course) by Waste Management Monthly magazine? It was, however, only given one star by The Vegan Society of America.

"When first using the DAC please set up on an alter the God Vishnu,check that the altitude and dew point bottoms engaged and are correctly set,put on a rotating bar school and rotate for 20 minutes and enjoy. But please note to revolve counter clockwise and clockwise will void warranty"

[@wahid-lg1kk]

None of these desktops show the kbps figure.. Doesn't nt show the bit depth either.. But my phone does, with Hiby player.. Higher kbps rate means better sound, it's more important then 48khz vs 96khz

[@scientificaudiophile]

True.

[@athathsonty2925]

IMHO the Quality Control Dept of FX Audio is Non-existent. To me, FX Audio sucks.

[@nl8063]

What amplifier around $300 do you recommend for the Aeon Open X? I have the Topping L30II, but it clips in the bass at high volume, and I would definitely prefer some more headroom. Topping states that the amp outputs 3.7 watts per channel, but if it does, then it should be able to make my headphones reach instant hearing damage volumes, but it doesn’t. Not like I’d want to listen to that loud, but the L30II is not sufficient, unfortunately.

[@scientificaudiophile]

The Schit Midgard - 5.5 watts into 16 ohms. I haven’t tried it with the Aeon’s but there’s zero chance it will clip before hitting 4 watts.

[@nl8063]

@@scientificaudiophile Thank you!

[@charleskatz2606]

You know Junior it shouldn't be embarrassing to ask your parents for help-that's what their there for

[@scientificaudiophile]

True

[@wahid-lg1kk]

So it's an Ess dac, right? Landfill.

[@carlb86]

You could have stayed silent and had two crappy amps.

Congratulations on getting potty-trained!

[@scientificaudiophile]

I failed to mention I'm "mostly" potty trained. I have a hard time leaving my Bish during a good listening session.

[@stanmyers5994]

Chris I understand why your reviewing this junk, it's called buyer beware

[@scientificaudiophile]

It 100% won't be replacing my ADI-2, but it's not junk. They definitely cut corners - especially with the remote.
