I'm planning to get the HD - 600s, as I enjoy classical music most as they seem to be highly rated, in my budget, and I have liked some of their more affordable headphones in the past.  I have about $400 I could spend on an amp and possibly a better DAC if it is recommended.  I plan to use my...

Hey guys,   I got the Maverick Audio D2 to pair with my A1. I'm using USB and can't get 24bit/96Khz via USB can you take a look at this. I gotta be doing something wrong.  

brand new D2, usb DAC, plugging into brand new asus laptop, and the drivers fail to install. the device is visable in device manger, but with errors. troubleshooting options go nowhere. the device loads fine on a windows xp machine. any advice on how to get windows 7 to upload the drivers from...

I am in the market for a new DAC to partner with my Little Dot MkIII and DT880 250ohm.   I'm interested in the Tubemagic D2, however, search on head-fi and google turn up very little result.   Is there any reason why this dac is unpopular? 

So I sold my Maverick D2 to upgrade to a better DAC and until I get paid the 28th I'm out of a DAC. I hooked the Schiit Lyr up via RCA to Line-In to my onboard on my computer and theres just a lot of static/hissing. I'm using some check walmart RCA to Line-In but I'm assuming there would always...

I am looking to create a bedside setup and I like the input possibilities of the maverick DACs and amps. I have about 480 bucks o spend and I need optical and USB input. I was thinking the D2 as a DAC but what about an amplifier? It would preferably be something with the input on the back. Thanks!

Hello guys, I listening Pop, Rock, R&B, sometimes instrumental, HIp-Hop, Electronic, which headphones do best job with my listening gentries?

Hi there. I stumbled upon this site last week when I was searching for high end headphones. My first and current impression is that these people really know their stuff, and care about sound. The last couple of months, I've given more and more interest in high end sound quality. I have always...

Hey all, new to the forums and high-end headphones.  I recently upgraded to my current audio setup in August and September.  Did a lot of reading on here before I decided on the A1 for my amp.  The Beyers were pretty much decided on from the start, just read so many good things about them.  I've...

I have around $500 and I'd like some advice on a complete headphone amp solution (I'm driving a HD650 and AKG K701). My choices right now are:   Nuforce Icon HDP         vs   The Maverick Audio A1 + D2 Combo       The HDP has had some rave reviews, but since it's...

Hi to all you head-fiers! As you may have already guessed from the title, I'm here to get some advice on a "nice" DAC: this basically means I'm not looking for some hi-end/Summit-fi equipment (still), but I want to avoid annoying bottlenecks as I'd like to upgrade my desktop rig over time...

I am very new to all this high end audiophile stuff but I eagerly want to become part of the community. I have about 15% hearing loss in each ear and I know that there is a world of sound around me that everyone gets to experience but me. I spend a gross amount of time at my PC and would like to...

I'll be moving to US next week to start my PhD program and I'll be building a new system from the ground up. I managed to save around $700-800 and I'm looking for budget components. I will only be bringing my laptop (an early 2011 macbook pro 13'') with, so I thought I would only be needing a...

Hi guys, I know there are a ton of threads like this, but none of them seemed to quite address this particular use-case, so if I just missed one, I apologize. I'm looking for a super simple dac recommendation. I don't mean simple as in crappy, but simple as in, I don't need or want USB or...

Currently running an he 598 powered by fiio e11 and a xonar dg. Looking to upgrade to a much better dac and one that matches the 598. I mostly listen to technobase.fm radio station all day long but I do have all my CDs ripped into lossless flac, such as Celine dion, Barbara Streisand, many 80s...

After having a full tower desktop for four years, I've finally upgraded it to a mini-ITX form factor. It's great and all besides the audio (only one PCI-E slot which I'm using for my graphics card). Coming from my Auzentech X-Fi Forte, everything sounds awful so I'm now in the market for an amp...

Hello, I've been hanging around the forums for some time now and have encountered a problem I can't quite find a solution for, I am purchasing a maverick d2 DAC and some swan M200MkIi speakers, I have an infinity sub, was replaced by a klipsch in my home theater but I would like to use it with...

So i've been reading up and searching the web for a few days now and I must admit, things do look kinda confusing. I'd really appreciate it if you would share your thoughts/opinions/suggestions.   I'm looking at DACs below 1000, and have narrowed them down to these:     Audio GD's...

Does anyone own this or have any experience with this product? I'm thinking about taking the leap and giving it a shot. http://cgi.ebay.com/Maverick-Audio-H...QQcmdZViewItem

Any info of this dac and how it sounds?  Ive been browsing the forums and cant find much on it? 

    A few years back, I recall hearing praise for a little DAC from Grant Fidelity called the TubeDAC-09. It was a compact unit with a good amount of inputs, offering both tube and solid state outputs. It reminded me of the Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1, also a popular unit in its price...
