Hey I recently bought one and was wondering where/what site I need to go to in order to buy some more tubes in the future. Currently Have Tung Sols in and have a set of Raytheons, and Jansens or whatever its called. Also is it okay to mix and match tubes? Like have 2 different types of tubes in...

Hello everybody! I have ordered a Maverick D1 DAC/Amp to use at the office.   However, it can only sample 24-bit if the signal is sent via Optical, instead of USB and my computer doesn't have optical out.   Question is: if I bought a really cheap sound card with optical out, let's say...

  In 1996 a maverick audio designer entered the high end scene and designed his first low powered SET amplifier. Steve Deckert formed Decware with the intention to offer the public direct a no nonsense high quality and reasonably price amplifier. After spending a month with the Taboo I would...

I have already replaced the opamps and was wondering if there are any other mods that can be done to the D1. I've heard about replacing the caps, but I haven't really been able to locate a guide on it. Also, if there are any other mods such as replacing the power supply, changing the gain, etc...

i took the link to maverick audio, and to my suprise its no longer there.  does anyone have info? thanks.

    INTRO   Tube amps. Many people swear by them, others are not interested. Until recently, many tube based headphone amps were on the more expensive side. But in the last few years we have seen many companies (mostly China based) release very respectable products in the under $400...

  Hi   Fellow-HeadFiers    For many years I have listened to music through my Sony headphones but after listening to a pair of Beyer headphones I found that while my Sony headphones were very good the Beyer's were better still, as naturally technology has moved on since those...

Hey Guy's,   This is my first post here and my first jump into better quality sound.  I've recently bought a pair of Audio-technica ATH-M50's after reading all the reviews and the affordable price point.  Upgrading from just a pair of Skullcandy ear buds the sound has already improved.  ...

Want to have a go at my first headphone amp but not 100% convinced that I will hear a big difference in sound compared to my Onkyo TX-SR805. And being a bit if a skeptic, I want to buy it from a place that has some kind of money back guarantee in case I don't like.  I'm getting an A/B switch to...

Was wondering if anyone could advise on which of the two DAC/Amp I should get to complement my DT880 (32 ohm). Have been more a portable kind of person so this is my first DAC/Amp and am in a dilemma now of which to get (both have considerably good reviews). I heard the DT880 would fare better...

newbie here,some question about Maverick D1.when I plug in the headphone on the Maverick D1,the tube inside have any function?Or the tube only function when RCA output?And inside the 2 sockets for opamp,where is for headphone's amp section and where for DAC section?thks...

I use my PC exclusively as the source for my headphone listening and my current setup is:   WIndows 7 PC --> Auzentech Prelude X-Fi 7.1 soundcard --> Onkyo SR805 AV receiver (using analog inputs)--- > AKG K702 headphones   I'd like to get a headphone amp or amp/dac combo to replace my AV...

Hi, First post and new to the world of music reproduction through headphones. I've got a fairly decent speaker set up in a listening room at home and I was looking to start getting into headphone use as it appears quite interesting. I'm looking to start at an average level and progress over...

Hi all,   My current setup is using the Maverick D1 as a DAC and pre-amp out to my Little Dot I+.  With the D1, I want to use the switch to bypass the potentiometer, but when I do that, the LD potentiometer needs to be set very low.  The problem is that when the LD volume is set so low, the...

I've been parsing a ton of reviews and boards for information on the best way to go with these headphones / amps and I'm still not sure what the best option is.   I'm looking to go for either the DT880's, the HD600 or HD650s. I was really looking into the AKG k701s, but numerous reviews...

Hello! I have been spinning myself in circles the last month or so trying to find a stepping (jumping) off point in this hobby. I stumbled upon one of the HF2 threads and decided that a mid range set of Grados seemed like a good start.   I have a fairly extensive iTunes library ripped at...

I am looking for a new soundcard for my new Linux build, but though I should also look at small usb dac's.  I have 60ohm headphones if that means anything.  I'm not looking for anything overly fancy, just something that plays the audio well.  It needs to work with Linux, I've read units like the...

Denon SACD/DVD-A Player or Laptop > Maverick D1 24bit/96khz DAC > Tube Preout > Denon AVR-1604 Receiver > JBL L830 Bookshelf Speakers.   It is just fantastic, especially since I pieced it together with mostly used equipment.   I finally got my speakers attached with some high quality...

Hello   I want to buy a tube amp and I'm interested in these 3 models (D1, A1 and MKIII). Being honest, I believe, for what I've read here in the forum, that the Little Dot MKIII is better in sound quality than the TubeMagic models and I'm almost decided to buy it, but it would be great if...

I'm trying to think of a way to phrase this the whole question as succinctly as possible, but knowing my own self, that is unlikely.   Alright. I'm really looking at a nice desktop DAC so to speak. I've done a fair amount of reading and to be honest, I've made little or no head way towards...

So...after spending most of yesterday reading I've only come up with three options for what I am looking for...which is:   - dac with a sound that is close to NOS - includes a headphone amp - includes an RCA output so as to connect to my integrated - the ability for that output to be...
