I can tentatively do January, definitely not February.

I'd love to make it (since I utterly failed last time)

I'm looking for opinions, and hoping for first hand experience - here goes. Factors; I primarily use my PC for gaming Win7 64-bit When I am listening to music through my PC, it isn't through ASIO, but the regular Windows 7 sound mixer, and more than likely with other sounds as well I recently...

My fault for not responding to the interest check 2 weeks ago (Sorry!), but this is - not kidding - on my fiancé's birthday. I don't think I'd make it to the wedding if I blew off lunch with her folks to go to this. I doubt I could make it from RR down, and back, without being noticed! Have...

I just got mine back today, and I'm sharing your line of thinking about selling the card.

My card was delivered to them on 12/29, I've sent 4 requests for status since, and I've heard nothing.   My discouragement is hitting a new all time high.     Edit:   I swear, complaining on Head-Fi has some kind of powerful magic imbued in it;   I sent my 4th follow up to...

I got a reply on support ticket on the 17th as well, after I'd already gotten an RMA # from the RMA department - support confirmed that my card would be serviced and to proceed with the RMA.  Holiday shipping being what it is I'll be lucky if they get the card before next year, but if we're all...

The chip at U9 - with the label S52A on it - is the culprit.  Cold air applied directly to this chip (~ 45° F) completely resolves the issue.   I'd be curious if any DIY/Chip Aware type people knew what component that was, exactly.  From Quakky's image...

  Quote: I know - and I'm not sure why you're emphasizing it to me.  Or, is this just residual emphasis from your frustration with the support experience?   Quote: Even if support is failing, hopefully the RMA departments prompt response is a promising sign.  I'm going to...

  Quote: It solved the issue - for 15 seconds - then the sound returned, slowly and then increasing in tempo. Quote:   I contacted RMA@auzentech.com and received a response the same day.  How long ago did you send your card?

Quote: Exactly like the problem I'm having.  Through the Mic, if I try to use Ventrillo or anything that noise is all anyone hears.  The first time it came through my AD700s - and I didn't have the Mic channel enabled through the output - it was so jarring I was worried I'd damaged them.

I just started down this path (opened my ticket early A.M.) and I'm not hopeful that I'll have much luck, but I'll post if they do get back to me.  Meanwhile, time to go looking for a new card - and unless I get an answer soon, Auzen will be off the list.   (My mic channel is producing a...

Your winamp output plugin is your weak link. Go here, get this; Assorted Steve Monks Related Stuff I think you will like the results.

It depends on your sound card. Other attributes to consider as well are whether your software/soundcard is manipulating your music (DSP) and the quality with which the DAC handles the digital stream. This may wind up being steered towards the Computer Audio forum, to be honest, if your only...

I just started a thread something to this effect, and asked Skylab some opinions directly since he did the original review on the Travagan's. I think it comes down to "what kind of headphones are you using?" as much as the individual amping options. Here's a couple good options you didn't...

Did you mod the PC350s yet? http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/mod...eadset-406187/ Be sure to check out the suggestions on the last page about drilling to the side instead of straight out of the back. Makes a world of difference. I tried my modded PC350s out of my uDac, and was pretty...

Some Dac/Amp combos are totally worth it. A combo you can later upgrade the DAC on, or use the DAC on and line out to another amp, offers you the most upgrade options while still being simple and affordable to start with. You may want to consider a portable type amp to go with the mixamp for...

Quote: Originally Posted by Sgt_Strider Yea, the PS3 have both HDMI and optical out. Why? The HDP has Optical In. -_-;; However, the HDP is not a 5.1 receiver - it will only handle 2 channels. You won't get surround, or any virtual surround that's not processed on the PS3 side...

The problem you're facing is fairly common. Here's some reasons why there isn't a good solution; Gaming devices geared to headphones focus on "Virtual Surround" technology of some flavor or another...Most commonly Dolby Headphone For Creative products CMSS3D Occasionally some vendor...

A-ha! So my assumption was wrong. Good! Are there any SS amps in the same league (< $500) that can kick 200mW+ against 300ohm+? Edit: Quote: Originally Posted by Skylab But here again, this usually requires a giant amp FULL of tubes. My god, it's full of tubes...
