    The foobar2000 help thread. Got problems or questions? Ask here!

    I just got 'foobar 200 controller pro', which was just made free recently. You need to install an httpd module on foobar but once you do you can control it from the phone nicely.

    MrSpeakers ETHER Flow and ETHER C Flow -- Inspired by Electrostatic Headphones

    I have the Ether C which I got upgraded to the Ether C Flow and I'm glad I did. The C's had everything I was looking for except a bottom end. I'm not a basshead and want just enough bass to balance the rest of the sound but the Cs were missing a low end, IMO. Upgrading to the C Flow kept...

    AEON 2 Closed or ETHER C Closed or ETHER CX?

    I have the Ether C Flow (originally an Ether C upgraded to the Flow) and the Aeon 2 Closed. I use the ECF at home while the wife watches TV and the A2C when we travel (once we ever do that again). The ECF sound better, as you would expect. The A2C are smaller and easier to pack for a trip but...

    Schiit Gaming Dac/Amps 'Hel', 'Hel 2', and 'Fulla 3' Thread

    I have a Hel that is about 3 months old. No scratchiness here. I would think that's a flaw that should be at least examined under warranty.

    Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers

    I have a pair of the    I have a pair of the iFi and they are VERY nice tubes. If that's all I had, I'd be fine with listening to them all the time. Of course, I have a problem in that I want more tubes so I keep buying more, but I have pondered getting a 2nd pair, hoping that would satisfy...

      Heh, maybe I'm easily amused but the title on that tube auction page is 'Hole 48 Earrings Ear Studs Jewelry Display Rack Metal Stand Holder Showcase UL | Jewelry & Watches, Jewelry Boxes & Organizers, Jewelry Holders & Organizers | eBay!'

    NEW Schiit Lyr 2: Impressions

      I have both and listen to both on a daily basis. The Lyr 2 is at work and the MJ 2 is at home. The Lyr is paired with a Bifrost MB and the MJ is paired with a Gungnir MB. The more expensive set sounds better. How much? Well, not twice as good, certainly. The difference lies in subtle sound...

    MrSpeakers Ether Impressions Thread

      I also have both and I agree with atsq17. Especially for jazz and classical, the open Ethers are the cans you want. I use the Cs on a plane or sitting next to my wife while she watches TV, but the open Ethers are my go-to cans when I don't need closed.

    MrSpeakers Ether Impressions Thread

      Took me a bit to find it but Jason (yes, co-founder of Schiit) says this:   "My “main stack” is Mjolnir 2/Gungnir Multibit, not Ragnarok/Yggdrasil. Mjolnir 2 is a warmer, wetter, “happier” amp than Ragnarok, and Gungnir Multibit is also a bit more euphonic than Yggy. The combo may not be...

      Cool, glad I grabbed a pair.  I hear they have a unique sound.

    MrSpeakers Ether Impressions Thread

      I can certify the MJ2/G2MB/Ether C combo is a good one. That's what I listen to at home. You'll want a pair of nice tubes but even the stock tubes are decent in this equipment. There are a few thousand pages in other threads about what tubes are good, but I would recommend you listen to the...

    Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers

      So there are 2 different deltas?  Yeah, looking through the document one is a normal isosceles triangle which is the shape I was taught in math class as a delta, but there's another one (that looks like a 4 :) that's a triangle squashed over on it's side.  Ok, no wonder tube codes are black...

      Yep, that's a delta, not a 4. Sorry about that. Which would be Philips, Copenhagen. I was wondering about the Venezuela connection.

    Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers

    It's been 30 minutes and nothing but crickets chirping so I'l take a stab at it. :)   VR6 45E4   Using the format TTC FYMW where TT is the tube type, C is the change or batch code, F is the factory code, Y is the year of manufacture, M is the month of manufacture W is the week of...

      Looks like the same engraved codes on both tubes: VR6 45E4. Now someone work their tarot card readings and interpret those.
