Compass - Broken Amp & Looking for Advice - Loud Audible Buzzing
My compass does not produce any sound at all regardless of the setting or input (I tried, amp only, usb, optical), removing the hdam, nothing works. Worst of all when the gain switch is flipped to low there is a loud buzzing noise in the JRC-27F Telecom Relay found in the amp section(pictured...- blue_lammer

The Compass Thread (New)
Well I had a more extensive listening experience but I still can't tell the difference. I'm using the AV-710 HQ output to the Compass in "Super" mode, K701 headphones. I think this may be the end of the line for me, which is good and bad in a way ^ ^. To be honest I've listened to Prickly...- blue_lammer

The Compass Thread (New)
Hey I have a quick question to those with golden ears. I can't tell the difference between the DACs of the Compass and that of the Chaintech AV-710 (Wolfson WM8728). Does this mean I should stop upgrading my equipment or am I okay since the DACs are about the same?- blue_lammer

Tentative date: September 19th, 2009. Mini-Meet Guelph, ON
Hey, if you are able to accommodate one more I can come for maybe 2 hours since I have a bbq right afterwards. I can bring my Audio-GD Compass and K701s. I don't have a source to bring along but I'm sure someone can supply one! I really want to come though it seems like an exciting meet already!- blue_lammer

AD700s- not what i expected
Ouch, I hope you aren't a bass head. I've listened to these plenty with hundreds of hours of burn in and they don't get that much better in the bass department. They are great for everything else though.- blue_lammer

AD500 vs AD700? (looking for advice)
I haven't seen any comparisons on AD700 vs AD500 but they are like you say, great for classical and jazz. The AD700s are also fabulous for gaming if you don't mind that the headphones leak sound.- blue_lammer

The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)
Quick question about Compass vs Sound Cards. My current setup: Prodigy HD2 --> LD II++ --> K701. I was wondering if the compass's DAC is better and if I should just get rid of everything because I heard my amp doesn't have enough power.- blue_lammer

AD700s Upgrade or Downgrade from Bose QC3?
I personally have listened to both. My father has the Bose QC3 and I used to have the AD700s. The QC3 sound quite muddy to me and with the small soundstage it's hard to really visualize what I'm listening to. The AD700 will improve on the QC3 with it's much larger soundstage, tighter bass and...- blue_lammer

I used to have a pair of AD700s though and in comparison the soundstage on the AKG 701s isn't as large but the seperation is a lot better. In...- blue_lammer
