    NuForce uDAC-2 Drama (detailed measurements)

    Quote: In my opinion, I don't think it'd be worth spending more and more time writing a longer and more specific rebuttal. After all, in the end it's just one product out of many, and i would think that the target audience who would specifically worry about these measurements would be...

    Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02

    Quote: I wear them so the housing points straight up, cable pointing straight forward, instead of the housing going straight back in the traditional over-the-ear style. My ears aren't big enough to fit them comfortably that way. I also don't get a seal at all wearing them cable-down...

    Editing Feedback

    Is there any way to do this? Maybe by PMing a mod or something?   I've made a few rather large typos in two of mine due to me thinking something else and writing another. Should be obvious to anyone who reads the feedback I left.   I'd like to fix this somehow

    NuForce uDAC-2 Listening Challenge

    Quote:   The Music Streamer II to me, at least, is much clearer on the extremes than the uDAC-2 i had before. The outputs are a little on the hot side though, the volume is quite a bit louder at the same position on the amp compared to some other DACs.   Just did a blind listen to the...

    NuForce uDAC-2 Listening Challenge

    Listened to the Gaga ones through Foobar > ASIO > HRT Music Streamer II > KICAS > Fischer DBA-02.   Adams and Lincoln sound just very slightly worse to me; both were doing something strange with the cymbal crashes, just very slightly, during bass impacts compared to the other two. Adams was...

    Strange issue with receiver?

    I've been using a Pioneer VSX-D557 receiver to power my speaker setup at home, and today I just noticed a very interesting (and baffling) problem, which did not occur a couple months prior.   Up until recently I was running a spdif coax cable from a uDAC-2 to the receiver, and everything...

    Help me w/ a subwoofer problem... pretty please?

    If there is a short/issue of some sort it would be within/behind that black box that houses the RCA jacks. It's highly likely that the solder holding the leads to the board/wire? are just cracked or broken.   If that's the case, you'd be better off taking it to a shop to get it repaired, or...

    Help me w/ a subwoofer problem... pretty please?

    I do believe that you could just hook up the LFE? output to directly either the left or right RCA plug, without the splitter, to see if it still makes the problem.   My sub goes nuts when I touch the positive RCA tip with either of the plugs on the back (essentially when I'm plugging it in...

    Help me w/ a subwoofer problem... pretty please?

    Can you solder?   The solder holding pins on the RCA plug may just be broken, and possibly causing a short.   Examine the board after you disassemble the back of the sub for any cracked joints.   Make sure you discharge the amplifier before touching anything for risk of shocks...

    Brainwavz B2 Impressions & Discussion Thread

      Quote: I had a feeling they would be red  .   Unless they aren't. In which case, I'll still be looking forward to the pricing.

    Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02

    Quote: I used the single flanges. I seem to have extremely small ear canals or something, as with any triple/double flange tip I either can't get a seal, or it won't even go in without hurting . Single flanges are the only ones that work.   The best part is, with the Brainwavz tips...

    Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02

    I just have another suggestion for tips with these, based on my own experiences.   Klipsch ovals tamed the bass a little too much, and the small black tips that came with the DBA-02s were hard to get a good seal and a little uncomfortable.   After a bunch of experimenting, I found that...

    6" USB A to B Cable ???

    Quote: I'd be willing to send mine to you, £10 should roughly cover the cost of shipping via USPS Priority International, if you'd like.   I don't need mine anymore.

    Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...

    My desk setup. Very simple, cuz it's all I can afford, space-wise and budget-wise (being a college student living in the dorms)

    Weirddd buzzing issue?

    I ordered a Nuforce NE-6 off amazon a couple days ago, and after receiving this I noticed a baffling issue. I posted a helpdesk submission on Nuforce's site as well, but have not received a response so far.   The issue is, when I plug the headphones in to any of my sources, a build-up of low...
