For a desktop setup with the Elacs near field on stands, and on or near on axis, can I do without the Wiim (assuming the primary reason being the room correction feature) and the onboard EQ? Also will pair it with a Topping D50S DAC from my current headphone amp setup. Thanks so much!
I really like watching your videos. If your room had a rug/carpet, your voice would be much better to understand.
Peace and keep the content coming.
I just bought the SMSL Raw DAC 1 (not MDA) and it has the high end AKM chipset. Sounds fantastic but no headphone amp fwiw. I might try this VMV amp yet not sure if 10 watts is enough for my speakers tho. Still on the fence just because of this.
I’m scared to pick the wrong speaker. I want voices and deep voices that sound real. Is the s400 mkii the speaker for me or do you have another suggestion?
I don't question the SMSL's fidelity but do have concerns that its 10 watts is sufficient. ELAC recommends 20-140 watts for the Debut 3.0 DB63 and the higher wattage will almost certainly yield superior dynamics and bass control. Class A amps are not known for their bass control. The Cambridge Audio AXA35 with 35 watts might be a better choice and at $399 a savings of $259.00 is had over the SMSL. Plenty to get an external DAC like the FiiO K11 R2R to improve upon the WiiM Pro Plus's fidelity.
Excelente asesoría.
I am upgrading from a pair of Edifier 1280DB speakers to ELAC Debut 3 DB63s, RSL subwoofer, Cambridge Audio AXR100 and Wiim mini. Christmas coming early and I am excited !
