    Schiit Lyr causing a DAC overheat issue, thoughts?

      I would have thought it would be easy to find a small two shelf thing.  You could always buy a couple of those small Cubby hole type cubes and put one on top of another, also, if you type "heat shield" into google, there should be quite a few automotive and industrial solutions to the problem.

    Focal Spirit One Headphones

      This thread had me digging my Focal spirits out and giving them another go, also, some proper burn in time.  Initially they sounded a bit thin and lifeless but after about thirty hours they were communicating nicely but with a bit too much treble (smooth treble) but not to the point of...

    Sennheiser HD360 Pro = PX360?

    Quote:     But they do.  Under professional headphones.  First click on "professional audio", then professional headphones and headsets and finally professional headphones.        Why are headphone manufacturers always setting up their websites like this? Why not have everything on...

    a cartridge question

     Sorry i couldn't be of any real help.  Maybe the stylus needs cleaning or to be re-tipped but this kind of ware is usually gradual, so does that mean that if the cartridge has gone wrong, that it's the generator? Or maybe the cat might have knocked out of alignment some of your settings or...

    a cartridge question

      How exactly did you rearrange the equipment?  At risk of being made fun of, I find the further away from the front edge of the platform that stuff sits, the less energy I seem to get from it. Something to do with the effects of vibration.

    Did i made a mistake? Need clarafication on Graham slee solo models.

      It looks to me like you bought the SRGII.  The site you showed shows three versions of the solo, the SRGII with its switchmode power supply, The SRGII with optional PSU1 linear supply (these are really the same amp with different power supplies) and the Ultralinear.    I don't think they...

    NAD M51 Direct Digital DAC Impressions

      Every review of the M51 I've read seems to say it starts clipping at 0db, it usually gets listened to at -1db by the reviewers.

    Bare Bones Dac Suggestions

      I haven't heard it so I don't know how it sounds but the Arcam R-link seems a suggestion that fits what you want.

    NEW T+A DAC 8

      I think it's multibit on the bass because it's mathematically easy for resister ladder to deal accurately with just the bass but if it has to render the whole signal then the typical 0.1% error from each resister becomes an problem.  The treble and mids are handled by the d/s part of the chip...

    Dirty Little Secret of Headphones

      I think how you adjust the headband has an effect on how the driver is angled relative to your ear holes.  Especially with soft ear pads.

    NAD M51 Direct Digital DAC Impressions

      I would have thought that any lip synch issues were down to the flat panel television have to process the video image as extensively as it does.

    NAD M51 Direct Digital DAC Impressions

      I've had one of these for a tiny while.  I find most of the cds (for that is what I'm using right now) sound better with polarity inverted.  More emotionally involving.

    Small cd transport

    Quote:   I think that using separate cd transport and dac means that the transport can extract the digital signal from the disk without as much noise from the decoding chips and also it doesn't have to share power with them either.  A dac benefits the most I think because it doesn't have to...

    Could someone give me some help with this, please?

      From something I just read I think it uses the RCA plugs to get sound from anything with stereo rca connectors and the usb is used to power it Although I don't know if you need power to make it work as a headphone attached to the RCA outputs of something.  Though you won't probably be able to...

    DAC/AMP - coloration, bit warm, semi-wide but deep soundstage

        I don't know if it's exactly what your looking for but maybe you should try out the Lead audio LA100.  Cheap, and by what few accounts of it's sound I have found, cheerful.
