    Linux and my USB Dac

    any one have any troubles with installing a USB Dac [like an Audio GD unit] onto a Linux system? I'm planning on migrating over to Linux in the fall and trying to figure out what hurdles I may or may not have to face!

    Where would you go from here? Current: Audio-GD compass. Staying with Audio-GD FOR SURE.

    Can't get enough of these guys.  Love everything I've heard/read about them.   I own a compass and am very happy with it.  Would like to try Wolfson 8741.  Seeing as how I am happy w/ the amp on the compass should I go with NFB 3.1 and then amp it with the compass?  OR should I go with...

    1704 back in stock - anything superior to Audio-gd 7.1 for 2K?

    Currently using an ESS-based dac, which I like a lot, but upgraditis and some spare cash have struck simultaneously.  Has anyone moved on from the 7.1 to something else?  Appreciate your input before I take the plunge.   Would be using the setup with HE6 and an F5 clone.

    Balanced amp for Beyerdynamic T1

    I've been out of audio for quite a while so coming back I was amazed how many choices are out there.  I've through a few sets of headphones looking for my "sound" and now have Beyerdynamic T1s/   I was looking at this all from a portable perspective as I wear these while working at home and...

    Budget Tube amp for Low-impedance cans?

    Hi,   I have used solid-state amps (Lovely Cube, Audio-gd Roc, etc) with low-impedance cans like K701, and now, I'm trying to go into the tube amp world. Crack OTL looks good and budget but it doesn't seems to be for me because most cans I have are low-impedance.   Could you head-fiers...

    Graham Slee Solo (Green VS PSU1)

    Hey, guys.   Sorry for me asking, if you have ever compared both Solo Green and Solo PSU1. What's the difference anyway? I just wanna know if the price can be justified, and if it's better to upgrade directly to Solo Ultra linear or any other amps around the price range.   Btw, my...

    Any SS head amps that have tube like "warm" sound, especially in the treble

    I know the obvious answer is, get a tube head amp, but I am looking at Tube Buffer + SS amp. Am aware of gd Audio "SA" versions but are there any other makes in current production? Under $1000 & pre amp or not is ok. TIA.

    Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator vs. Sennheiser HD 448

    Hi guys,   I currently have the Aviator from Skullcandy.  It sounds pretty good with 320kb mp3 and lossless files, with good fidelity & acceptable bass.  However, anything lower than 192kb or has bad compression will sound a bit harsh.   An alternative I'm looking at is the Sennheiser HD...

    Headphone amp for AKG702
