![]() ![]() On September 7, 1769, an expedition led by Gaspar de Portolá entered the San Luis Obispo area from coastal areas around today's Pismo Beach. Mission San Diego was the first Spanish mission founded in Alta California that same year. The Spanish founded San Luis Obispo on September 1, 1772, when Saint Junípero Serra established Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa.ĭuring the Spanish Empire expansion throughout the world, specifically in 1769, Franciscan Junípero Serra received orders from Spain to bring the Catholic faith to the natives of Alta California the idea was to unify the empire under the same religion and language. The tribal site on present-day San Luis Obispo was named tiłhini ( Obispeño for 'Place of the full moon'). The Chumash people used marine resources of the inlets and bays along the Central Coast and inhabited a network of villages, including sites at Los Osos and Morro Creek. One of the earliest villages lies south of San Luis Obispo and reflects the landscape of the early Holocene when estuaries came farther inland. The earliest human inhabitants of the local area were the Chumash people. San Luis Obispo is a popular tourist destination, known for its historic architecture, vineyards, and hospitality, as well as for being home to California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. The town grew steadily through the Mexican period before a rapid expansion of San Luis Obispo following the American Conquest of California. San Luis Obispo was founded by the Spanish in 1772, when Saint Junípero Serra established Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. The population was 47,063 at the 2020 census. ![]() Located on the Central Coast of California, San Luis Obispo is roughly halfway between the San Francisco Bay Area in the north and Greater Los Angeles in the south. Louis the Bishop' / s æ n ˌ l uː ɪ s ə ˈ b ɪ s p oʊ/ Spanish: Chumash: tiłhini) is a city and county seat of San Luis Obispo County, in the U.S. The Red varies between 94dB to 106dB depending on the quality of the USB hub. In practice AQ's new 5V line conditioning is so successful that the S/N, when driven via a 'clean' USB hub like the Melco N10 or a noisy PC, is unaffected at a massive 110dB (A-wtd). But the real headline is tucked away in the small print: 'Improved PSU filtering increases immunity to WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular noise'. Jitter is still very low at <20pec (unloaded) thanks largely to the excellent rejection of the ESS DACs and 'StreamLength' USB transfer protocol. This, the usefully low sub-0.5ohm output impedance and 53mW/25ohm power output are unchanged because the Cobalt uses the same ESS 9601 headphone amp as the Red. Thus AQ's Cobalt may offer a slightly different tonal colour even though harmonic distortion is unchanged over the Red – 0.02-0.05% at the same 2.18V maximum voltage output, falling to a minimum of 0.0025% over the top 30dB of its dynamic range. ![]() Stopband rejection is poorer too at just 40dB but ringing and phase distortion are much reduced. So the Red has a flatter response of +0.1dB/20kHz (44.1kHz/48kHz media) and –0.85dB/45kHz (96kHz media) while the Cobalt rolls-off to –2.0dB/20kHz and –8.45dB/45kHz, respectively. Yes, the Cobalt uses an ES9038 DAC in place of the Red's ES9010 and with the slow roll-off mode of the minimum phase digital filter selected. While the Cobalt represents the most significant update on AQ's DragonFly series, this is not for the 'headline' reasons you'll probably read about elsewhere. ![]()
