I need a DAC which I can use with headphones as well as a pair of Audioengine A2s. I used to have a uDAC which fit my needs well since it mutes the lineout when I plug my headphones in, and I can adjust the lineout with the volume knob on the front (very important!). I'd like to find something...

You'd still get lots of leakage from the back of the drivers though as they are open.

RE the video, it must have felt so damn good afterwards.

I use one of these:

They're identical save for the coiled cable. As for the price I guess it depends where you live, when I bought my HD25 I could buy the regular version for almost $200 cheaper than the coiled version!

The first two should be identical, the third one has a coiled cable, and the last one has 600Ω impedance (the others have 75Ω). If you see anything else with HME or HMD in place of HD, those have microphones. I think you want the first one.

Bump?

I just bought this (for no good reason).

I'm just wondering if any ESP950 owners could let me know where/how they order ear pads, replacement parts etc. for their set. I emailed Koss about ordering pads since they don't have a distributor in NZ and they emailed me back telling me to send in my entire system (to their HQ in US...

Just wanted to bump this thread as I'm thinking of buying this. I just started playing around with the demo but haven't really read through the manual or started tweaking things. Do you have any favorite presets?

I'm getting a very specific freezing issue on BC2, was wondering if any of you guys have had it. It's a hard freeze that needs a reboot, accompanied with looping sound. So the posted solution is I have to remove any on-board audio (I use the Realtek HD controller that's on my mobo) and get a...

I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what voltages the E90 amp can tolerate. I see that the stock wall-wart is a 9V 1A and lots of people seem to use a 12V power supply, but I've only got a 13.7V 2.2A power supply here to use. I have no idea what the guts of the amp is rated for although I've...

I think I'll give the Szekeres a try with 9V. Or maybe use a really efficient regulator which doesn't shave off too much. How should I go about modifying the grounding scheme of the design on the HeadWize page to make it work inside my PC? Quote: Originally Posted by AndrewFischer...

That cabinet is just right actually, maybe with a few screw holes drilled along the side. Thanks a lot!

I'm thinking about putting a DIY DAC/amp into a drive bay, like a Scythe Kama or those sound controllers that come with some sound cards, and powered from a USB header. But I don't really know what I should gut to use as a chassis. I was thinking of using an emptied out optical drive but then...

He's just a moggie actually (someone had an unwanted litter and was giving kittens away so we took one home). But maybe there's some of that mixed in somewhere! (El Doug, that's a gorgeous cat!) Quote: Originally Posted by fatcat28037 Oya? beautiful kitty. Maine Coon?
