I think you will love them.  And especially for that price!    Also, they destroy the AV40s in all respects.

Here are my listening impressions after 10 days of owning the NFB-12:   I'm not using this DAC with headphones due to a persistent case of tinnitus.  I bought it exclusively to listen with speakers at work using my computer as the source.  The chain is Realtek integrated computer sound...

Ok, thanks for explaining it. Sorry for the misunderstanding. But *my* desire for the sale is for the reason I suggested. =D

I agree!

Thanks for the suggestion, pdt I think my MX760s are probably as good as the PK3, so I'm shooting for the moon. Lotus's return is great!

Hey wantmyf1, THANK YOU for the most helpful information! It is exactly what I needed. I know the PK1 will come alive if I turn it up and/or amp it, but I have to work within my situation. I'm still an audiophile and if I can get better sound than I've got right now (I know you haven't compared...

If anyone who has the PK1 could try them out with their iPhone or any other source at very low volume I would be grateful.

Because of my tinnitus I prefer to listen only to earbuds or clipons, and only at very low volumes. Right now my sources are an iPhone 3GS and a Sansa Fuze. My earbuds are Sennheiser MX760 which I love with the Fuze and like with the iPhone. But even on the quietest setting they are a bit too...

I have a Squeezebox 3 with an upgraded linear power supply but that is otherwise stock. I can tell you that there's no way I can listen to the analog outputs of this SB3 with my Denon D5000 headphones through a Musical Fidelity X-Can V8 amp. The SB3 sounds decent through my relatively revealing...

For my D5000s, the Musical Fidelity X-Can V8 works beautifully. $550 from AudioAdvisor.com. But I have not tried other amps with them for comparison.

Thanks, Skylab!

They are protecting the brick-and-morter stores that sell their products. Denon has to choose between selling on the Internet at heavily-discounted prices or being promoted by dealers that stock and demonstrate their headphones. There's nothing wrong with their choosing the second model, even...

I need to retube my speaker-system amp, an Onix SP3. Budget is not great. Are there any cheap 12AU7s that people recommend that have an overall-good sound?

As far as I know, there's only one way to use an outboard DAC with the iPod: a dock by Wadia that costs $250. It uses a chip to trick the iPod into thinking it's connected to a computer so it feeds the digital signal. Everyone who's not using this Wadia dock is running the iPod into their amp...

I am loving my 8gb Fuze overall, but one thing that's bugging me is that I instinctively hit the left button when a song is playing and I'm trying to get back to browsing my song library. Instead of letting me back out of the song into my library, it starts that song over from the beginning. You...

Does "punchy highs" mean it might be too bright with a Denon D5000?

But isn't the lineout from the dock at maxed volume? Doesn't this mean that it's being amplified by the same circuit that does the headphone out? What would be the SQ difference between plugging your amp into the lineout vs. the headphone out?

I know how you feel - I just bought the D5000 and don't want to read this either! Why are we torturing ourselves??

Great, thanks for the report upstateguy!

Can anyone give a report as to how the Fuze sounds through the Griffin dock's line out vs. its headphone out when used with an amp?

Thanks for the comments. I understand now what you mean about the source matching the phones. I won't be using a USB DAC; the Squeezebox outputs only SPDIF. When I'm ready to buy a decent source, I can choose from any DAC that has a coax or Toslink input. By that time I'll know the D5000's sound...

I have chosen MSC mode as I am using mostly FLAC files and Windows Media Player doesn't support FLAC. I have the v1 Fuze, silver 8GB purchased from BestBuy.com on 11/29 (and delivered very quickly--on 12/9!). I don't know what my firmware was when I got it, because it would not recognize my...
