    Sabaj D5: the DAC that is unquestionably a digital to analog converter

    I also updated xmos usb dac driver from their site too. I mainly use on PC and I was apparently on a pretty old development build.

    Sabaj D5: the DAC that is unquestionably a digital to analog converter

    TBH all I really wanted was the volume to go to 100 instead of 90.

    Sabaj D5: the DAC that is unquestionably a digital to analog converter

    Just installed 1.7 fw and no idea what's changed. Newer is better though, right?

    Sabaj D5: the DAC that is unquestionably a digital to analog converter

    I tried the VC briefly with my D5 but generally find the D5's amplification somewhat under-powered. I keep my D5 as a DAC (along with my SPL Phonitor XE) and it's in this configuration where the VC really shines.

    New Amp from HeadAmp - GS-X Mini

    How come Headamp doesn't release a full spec sheet for this amp? Skimming through @skedra 's (very nice) review above, and having read some other write ups it seems odd that specifics aren't available for an amp that's been around a while.

    SPL Phonitor X / Phonitor E impressions and Discussion thread

    THE SPL PHONITOR XE REVIEW at The Headphoneer had this write-up explaining the DAC768 situation so I've quoted it here: Edit: I have an XE that I bought used which includes the DAC768 but I've only tested that it works but haven't had much reason to actually use it. I use the DAC in my Sabaj...

    Sabaj D5: the DAC that is unquestionably a digital to analog converter

    I've had my tool from Sabaj (ordered off Aliexpress) for several months but finally upgraded to 1.6 without issue. Thanks for the link and provided instructions. Very easy!!! Edit: Just a bit of OCD but I really wish they bumped it up to 100 steps instead of 90 in the update.

    SPL Phonitor X / Phonitor E impressions and Discussion thread

    That's a nice option for Phonitor 2 users. I'd definitely opt for that had I ended up with a 2 rather than an XE. I bought mine used off CanuckAudioMart and had been waiting for a used Phonitor for quite some time and I wasn't super picky about which one I got. I just knew I wanted to try one...

    SPL Phonitor X / Phonitor E impressions and Discussion thread

    Is that a female 4-pin XLR to dual female 3-pin XLR? I didn't realize till now you could do balanced at the back of the Phonitor 2. I've got the XE and prefer using the back panel XLR out but I feel like I'm missing out on not being able to do speaker out with the XE and have casually thought...

    ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.

    Same here, but to be honest from what I gathered from the website is you get the extra cable if you buy one of the premium upgraded cables. I didn't upgrade my cable so I just got the Japanese OFC cable with my order which is what I was expecting.

    ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.

    Thanks for the quick reply Zach, yeah I'm definitely hyped to receive the headphones it's been a bit of a wait but we're on the home stretch for sure. I've had plenty of international packages arrive via all the major carriers but typically not requiring additional input on my end until the...

    ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.

    Has anyone who's ordered internationally recently happen to have their Verite shipped via DHL? I'm in Canada and my order was shipped out on the 16th via DHL (I was anticipating Fedex Express) but earlier today I received an automated call informing me I had to submit some information through...

    MAD Ear+ Purist HD thread.

    Back then Dr Lloyd Peppard was offering black gate caps and a stepped potentiometer as an upgrade for his Ear+ HD and Ear+ Super units, pretty sure. I've got a unit that was custom built as an amalgam of the Ear+ HD and the Super (so basically it has magic eye tubes) with the black gate caps...
