Hello everyone,   I need help selecting a DAC to finish my digital setup.  Right now I'd be going to a Head-Direct EF1 to HD650s.  My budget is ~$400.  I listen to rock, blues, and jazz.  I would also like to plug it into my PS3 for gaming, which uses the same amp/headphone setup.   When...

Well, I just realized that I'm not going to be in situations where closed cans are a requirement anymore.  So, I splurged.  A pair of HD650s are on their way.  Of course, now I *really* need to solve my DAC problem, but that'll have to wait for a bit until my wallet recovers.  Guess I'll be...

Okay, so would it be a good idea to sell the EF1 so I can get an EF2?  Better channel balance, so I can get a new pair of D2000s (since I like their sound and comfort), and I'd get a DAC, too?

I had Denon D2000s, but the cable got damaged in a move and the ear-cup screw fell out.   So, I'd like new headphones under $250.  They'd be connected to a Head Direct EF1 amp, and I'd be getting a DAC later.  I enjoyed the sound signature of the D2000, but the impedance was a bit low with...

Oh goodness, one paycheck and I've fallen back off the wagon. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Live Anthology (4CDs of Petty for $20? Yes, please!) Rolling Stones - Get Yer Ya Ya's Out! (40th Anniversary Edition, 3CD 1DVD) Benny Goodman - At Carnegie Hall - 1938 - Complete (2CD)

One of the earcups on my AH-D2000s came off recently. I can't find the nut anywhere. Anybody know what size the screws are so I can buy a new one without going through Denon?

Okay. I have the problem figured out (or at least the cause of it), and it's weird. Graphics card driver installed - computer freezes Graphics card driver not installed - no freeze Happens in both Vista and 7 with fresh installs. Any idea, or should I send this thing back?

As the title says, my new computer freezes when I try to rip CDs. Any format. EAC and dbpoweramp both freeze the computer (only a hard reboot will fix), but windows media player actually works. This isn't an acceptable permanent solution, so I need help on finding out what's wrong. My drive...

Just one this week, but it was a box set. I'm trying to slow down, since school is starting and work is stopping. Perhaps I'll put more of an emphasis in used vinyl to increase the quantity of what I can get for my money. Miles Davis - The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions [3 CD Box]
