Hi Kmel,

... which is really bad, a quote from diyhifi:
[...] I have never seen such a high jitter and it is clearly in the range where even those highly tolerant when importance of the jitter is considered (as I am...) will tell you "this is the horror".
|
thanks a lot for info! With this horrible result obteined with UDA1321..which solution do you think is less affected by jitter?
Maybe a simple interface like this one? NEW MINI USB to SPDIF & OPTICAL Interface PCM2906 en venta en eBay.es (finaliza el 18-feb-08 05:47:23 H.Esp)
I think it's a common problem for a lot of people involved in this thread, and generally, for those who are using dac connected to laptops.
Thanks a lot in advance

No, it's not. I do agree with you.
BTW I'm probably a bit older than Ori and I have a quite similar background, if what I've read in his website is true.
Just because I recently joined this forum, doesn't mean that I'm a newbie, I just expressed my own opinion.
I hope you are not as shallow when you review audio equipment.

OK, I know, it's not that original.
I just wanted to say thanks to you all folks. I have found a new way to spend my hardly earned money 
BTW how long do you think for the burn in? 100hours? |
Congratulations! Very nice headphones indeed!  The first 100 will have the most changes. After that, only minor changes. Do it however it works out best for you. There is nothing wrong with just listening to them either.

I had a hunch that's the case. So you're an expert? Excellent!!!
I'll ship original D2.5 units to you so you can mod them for me for say $50 (I'm guessing you'd say that's "fair") and we'll do great business. 
BTW you get to answer phones, reply to emails, repair and update older units, deal with lost packages, order new parts, answer people who post $#& on forums. The whole deal ya know. 
Man, where have you been hiding all this time?! Ohhhh, what a wonnnn-derrrr-ful worldddd!

No, no, no... The new deal works this way: you send to pincellone directly and I just collect the money...
If there are any issues, it's the same deal. You dial his number, cause I'm gonna be on the beach in Hawaii. Darn, I should have thought of this earlier!!!

Gentleman,
I asked this of you earlier: "It's ok guys. Let's not get too far off the beaten path". However, my request is being ignored.
I would appreciate it, if this off topic discussion were dropped here and now, or moved to a more suitable forum.
I will remind you both, that this is MY review thread, and it has worked very well for the first 1700 posts. I don't want it to turn into a crap fight. So please, for me, and everyone who frequents this thread, make this problem go away.
Thank you for your consideration.

Ok, everyone can have an opinion. If Ori charges a certain amount and people are happy with it so be it. If you or I don't like his price or his work then we don't do business with him. People create businesses to try to earn a profit - period. It is not your place nor mine to tell them they are making too much or too little. Let's not allow our feelings to take control and "poke someone in the eye" just because they see things differently.
'Nuff said.
So, how about our Zero. Any new chip ideas out there? Can someone post the least expensive and reliable source for the OPA627 off the net?

You are in correct in concept. However if I was making a product and all of a sudden a person who has not even listen to my product starts taking shots at it I would be extremely upset. Why some start this wars on vendors or fellow Head-Fiers is beyond me, yet they are allowed to stay and take shots anytime they feel like it. Specially when their input is not requested nor does it add to the thread. Just my $0.02

They may be "allowed" by forum rules, but that doesn't mean I can't ASK PLEASE that they stop or move it. Respect is a two way street, and I'm asking them to walk on it.

I would like to know this too. I paid the "Lawrence" price, which at the time was about as good as it was getting, but I sure would like to find a better price, and the smaller size adapter too.
