The DAC-AH is *about*5 inches wide, 2 inches tall, and 8 inches deep. I wouldn't get it if you're looking for portability as it requires AC power. I hope this reply helped!

where did you guys get your opa627's? Any place have them for cheap?

Thanks Kim! I finally got around to making the resistance/voltage change last night. The DAC sounds great now. I am very pleased.

ok so i'm staring at the PCB of my DAC-AH. I see the resistors over R35 and R36. So what I should do is solder 330 ohm resistors to the existing resistors on R35 and R36? What is a good way to go about this? Any help with technique? So my final product will have two resistors (270 and 330)...

kim, could you take a picture of the inside of your dac and point out where the resistors go? I've never soldered before so i'd like as much knowledge as possible before I go at it. Any (more) help would be greatly appreciated. Even if you don't want to, thanks a lot for IDing the problem and...

I want to fix my DAC-AH... the resistors I bought from RadioShack are 5% tolerance... is that ok or is that too high a tolerance?

because he rhymes "through it" with "Vanquish" pronounced "Van-Jewish" in "Don't Cha" w/the *****cat Dolls. I can't believe I never picked that out before today...

that is a gorgeous rig... what is that player?

it sounds like you want the Audio Technica A900. Closed, circumaural, no need of amplification (good straight out of any source), well-rounded, comfortable, etc. You won't need to wear it out since you have UM1's, so portability isn't an issue. I got my pair from audiocubes.com for $198 shipped...

Ugh... I just made myself nauseated listening to the opening 30 seconds or so on my a900's

I really suggest that you all check this guy out... Trace Bundy... awesome guitarist http://www.tracebundy.com/ I'm listening to his Adapt cd right now... soooooooooooo goooooooood

I like my A900's

love stat-tracker... I am KILLING this week... going to win big in one league Chris Cooley's hair is AWESOME

I don't know about feeling the "weight" of the cord; the cord is light and if you wear it properly, it stays out of your way (unless you're wearing a backpack... the cord can get caught on it and it will tug on your ears). If you're not playing any music you can hear the microphonics, or the...
