I did a search and couldn't find anything, so I hope it's ok to post here. Audio_Gd Compass 2 I pulled out of storage alas has scratches on it's top. It's metal, likely aluminum, with the common 'gun metal' black finish. Does anybody have any idea how I can fix this?

Interesting. Good that they are upgrading, but I can't be arsed selling my unit. It will have to have titty-sparklers for me to do that.

Still using this Amp/Dac. Very happy with it so far.

Unfortunately, no. I'm in the UK, and we use 230/240v just like you. I got one of these transformers. Simple plug adapters wouldn't work alas.

Try other headphones or speakers to try and replicate it. No crap, but I kind of went through exactly what you're describing and couldn't work it out. Tried everything. Turns out I had an ear infection, and for some strange and weird reason an ear infection can sound like electronic static/or...

Decent watch. It's not the top end solution of course, but I'm extremely happy with the Monoprice, most especially with my Beyerdynamics. It somehow gets a shedload of extra oomph from this amp. Sounds fantastic.

Sounds like a great mod, nice one. I've got a Soundblaster G3 (essentially a cheap dongle with SBX surround) going into my THX amp/dac via optical and it sounds great. Power everywhere with the amp, and also a nice interface and equalizer to tweak away with on the SB software (see pic below)...

@Chastity Brilliant post +10. I've always liked SBX for the least intrusive reverb. You don't need to remember to switch it off everytime if you want to watch a YouTube video - I find it the most usable. The others have too much reverb - you really have to remember to switch it off for normal...

Multi monitor, no, because of the multiple bezels. Maybe they can get around it in the future as the company is always updating the software. My 21:9 3440x1440 monitor is at the usable max, and all you need to look side to side is move your head (it tracks both your eyes and your head btw). It's...

I didn't notice that you have the K712pro, honestly I think you're sorted. I got the HD800S cos I had the money to grab one. Edit: Check out this great channel Gaming Audio Guide

Me too. With the headtracker however, it's expensive, way too expensive. I know you're paying for the software development and not the hardware (like TrackIR), but at least they could've made it a wireless solution. On a sidenote, I've just upgraded to the Tobii 5 Eyetracker, and man it's good...

I still use SBX when required @motorwayne. I went from a Fidelio X1/ Sounblaster Z/ Audio_Gd Compass2 to the HD800S and THX (with a G3); it's better, but not miles better. Also, I wouldn't upgrade from your AE-9 tbh, and I'm sure NamelessPFG could advise you on that. I do know that the HD660s...

Hahahaha :) I tried black marker but it wouldn't hold.

A tiny little bit of black paint has exposed the silver plastic underneath on the frame of my otherwise perfect condition HD800S. Any ideas of how I could touch it up?

Er, they aren't LCD-Xs you just bought.
