AudioQuest Dragonfly Review : Affordable, Outstanding, Tiny DAC / Amp
The blue light's on so I know Amarra's running, but I've also tried it just going straight through iTunes. Anything played through my computer can still be heard with volume down to 0%. Hopefully I hear other people weigh in but I'll get an email in to AQ in the mean time.- n0ah

AudioQuest Dragonfly Review : Affordable, Outstanding, Tiny DAC / Amp
I've got Amarra. So what's the explanation as to why the volume doesn't decrease to zero without muting it? I've had several USB dacs over the years and this is the first to do that.- n0ah

AudioQuest Dragonfly Review : Affordable, Outstanding, Tiny DAC / Amp
So I've just received mine and on a mac with iTunes volume maxed I'm noticing that turning the OSX volume down from the keyboard doesn't turn it down all the way and you have to mute to get actual silence. Also surprised that it's only taking 3 notches to drive me IE8's as loud as need be. Does...- n0ah

Links to "upgrade" RCA cables?
I guess I may as well look for something to match my already existing speaker cable which is one of these: 742c8ef2_htf_imgcache_36287.jpeg Heartland apparently doesn't exist (at least online) as I checked today. Is anyone doing USB cables in the same style? -
Links to "upgrade" RCA cables?
Really just for cosmetic purposes and not for the idea that its upgrading SQ at all. I have one of these 6651.jpg that I use to plug from the back of my DAC to my speakers and a more visually pleasing cable would be nice. Any ideas?- n0ah

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: NEW Nuforce uDAC-2 with 24/96 - USB DAC AMP with line out and S/PDIF out
Anyone here with experience using the uDAC2 with a set of A5's? I have the HDP but am interested in possibly downgrading to the uDAC as I almost never use headphones anymore but would like to keep the A5 volume control at arms reach.- n0ah

Desktop size amp/dacs for IEM use?
I've moved away from full sized headphones as I'm living with someone who likes having music playing over speakers. I have very little isolated listening time except for my commutes for the most part or runs. My only IEM is the IE6 right now but I plan to go bigger there at some point, but there...- n0ah

Nuforce Icon HDP into Mac help
That's for the uDAC2 but I assume everything's the same (change to 96Hz / 2ch-24 bit?) just clarifying since my mac default was I believe 48Hz / 2ch-16 bit. Also would it be the same for both optical and USB? I haven't figured out which I'm sticking with yet.- n0ah
