Why are speakers part of the DBT-free section of this forum?  Every other site I regularly visit keeps the speaker forum separate from the cables/tweaks/DBT-free forum for obvious reasons.  I know this is a headphone site, but really, why are speakers part of DBT-free when they should in reality...

Im highly considering one of these two DACs to be fed from a Squeezebox Duet in the near future. Ive heard good things about both. Being the cheapskate I am, Im looking to spend $200 or less. I understand the Behringer can be modded, but Im not handy with a soldering iron. I also hear NOS DACs...

How does the analog output of a Squeezebox Duet compare to a Fubar II? Im worried I may need to purchase a DAC to go along with the Duet. Im pretty happy with the Fubar II, especially since I upgraded the opamps to OPA627s. I was looking into the DAC AH-M1 and the Behringer SRC2496. Something...

Im looking to upgrade my Fubar II on my main stereo (Klipsch Fortes) to something under $300. So far, Ive looked at the Lite Audio DAC AM, Lite DAC AH-M1, and Musiland MD10. NOS DACs have recently caught my attention, particularly the DAC AH-M1. If possible, Im also looking for something that...

I had my Fubar II apart the other day and figured it would be a fun little project to upgrade the capacitors. The 2x OPA627s I added in made a nice difference in sound quality, but got to thinking if the caps would make any improvement. Which caps should I replace? Any certain brands I should...

So today I left work early cuz I wasnt feeling too well. When I got home, I decided to scour craigslist and see what kinds of stuff people had out there. I stumbled across some Klipsch Fortes for $200...called the guy and didnt get an answer so I left him a voicemail. After a couple hours of...

Lately Ive been throwing around the idea of using an Intel Atom based motherboard as a jukebox of some sorts. I know I could just get a Squeezebox and be done with it, but thats boring . My OS of choice would be some flavor of Linux, and would like to make this compact flash based as I will be...

I just ordered the stuff for my new speaker rig. I bought a Trends Audio TA-10.1 T-amp, Fubar II USB DAC, and will be picking up a pair of Paradigm Titans this Tuesday. Ive been looking at the Firestone Audio Tubehead, and have also been considering the Little Dot 2 headphone amp as a preamp...

Yesterday I decided to tinker with my 1212M PatchMix settings and switch from ASIO to SSRC in Foobar. I set the output on my 1212M to 176.4KHz and SSRC to 176.4KHz, sounds better to me than ASIO in 44.1KHz. The music seems to have a more detailed bass and a tad more fun to listen to. I honestly...

Well...yesterday I put my 203.2 on eBay because I came to the conclusion that my 1212M offers a more detailed, less harsh sound. Id like to purchase another DAC. RCA outputs are a must since it will be connected to my receiver. Im looking to spend under $200...the cheaper the better. Can anybody...

I know this probably isnt the right place to be asking this, but since most of us are critical about our audio, I figured Id give it a shot . Last weekend when I was out with my brother we stopped by his friends house. In his garage sitting there all filthy was a Marantz 2325...circa 1974. He...

Ok ok Ill admit...Im a big lover of trance. Im wondering if there are any headphones that will brighten up the music a bit for me. Im on these little crappy Sennheiser PX200s right now, and am looking to upgrade. I would like something with a low impedance as they will be run off of the...

Ive never really listened to classical before, but am looking to try something new. Im looking for some recommendations, so hopefully theyll be good ones . Im looking for something with epic melodies, sounds, and lots of layers. Can somebody recommend me anything?

Im looking at the Musiland MD10 and the DAC-AH. How do they sound? I listen primarily to trance, ambient/chillout, psychedelic, and classic rock. I would like something that will really make all the intricate sounds on my said music stand out. I dont want somehting too bright, but I would like...

So I installed my 1212M and it works excellent. I also have my X-Fi installed with the digital I/O looped to the SPDIF-in on the 1212M. Is there a way I can get the digital I/O to pass through the 1212M out to my DAC? Ive messed with Patchmix, but have come up empty handed since I am so new to...

What are your favorite bands? Lately, Ive really been into Shpongle, Ott, Younger Brother, and Infected Mushroom. Astrix is really cool as well. Whats some other good stuff out there? My electronica library is rather large, but Im sure theres alot more good stuff out there.

Im very tempted to get the $99 1212m over at musiciansfriend but not so sure about the audible differences I will hear going from my X-Fi. I currently have the X-Fi connected to an Entech 203.2 which sounds pretty good, but like I said, that 1212m is very tempting. I dont play games very much...

Ive heard of a few of you modding your Entech DACs. Can somebody give me a rundown of the mods to be done? If you have any instructions or schematics Id greatly appreciate it. Im bored and in the mood to tinker . This is my first DAC and I really love how it sounds. Also, where would I get the...
