    Audio-gd USB-32 Firmware, Drivers, and Feedback Thread

      Just upped to V2 on the same DAC and got my opinion down before I read any others. Its connected to an NFB 6 and balanced out to HE500s. It seems to have smoothed out that "tapping on the side of an aluminium can with your fingernail" quality that used to really bug me with this setup. A...

    Melbournite :) Should have known. CPL sell the 7C(new) for $169 at last check. Scorptec and MSY should be about the same. I have the latest version - still need to bend down and power off. I get a soft but noticable whining sound when the volume is set to 21 and 27 as well but meh...

    NO! The 9C is awful. Nothing at all like the 7C. None of the 3d treble projection and magic and a ton of floppy uncontrolled "bass" for want of a better word. My first set of 7C's started humming and generating heat so I thought i'd give the next step up a try. Bad move - were replaced with 7's...

    Here's the thing with these bad boys - they scale up. My pair were connected to a PS4 using my dear old ibasso d10 as an optical source from the TV. No RCA in this telly so I had to make do.  And it sounded great. Truly did.  Months later im changing jobs and the balanced Audio GD dac and amp...

    FiiO X3 mod - AD8397 to AD8620

    Hi Folks - I have a chap lined up to do the soldering work and I was wondering if the ISL5502 would suit?   A link to the datasheet http://www.ic-on-line.cn/view_online.php?id=1161594&file=0077\isl55020irz-t13_711159.pdf   Cheers! JB

    Does anyone have an iBasso D10 lying around that they can test this setup for me? Having just bought an X3 to use as a digital transport there may be one up for quick sale soon.

    Quote:   I may have had a hand in that. Li-ion batteries are restricted to import to Australia and AGD tried for a months to send mine before we worked out why they kept being rejected and returned. I didnt notice a difference between a battery and the PSU but the upgrade from USB power...

    Review CablePro Freedom Cable for the HE500 and LCD2

      Glad to read this - i was never convinced silver was the right choice and had been wrestling with my setup to tame the shrillness (and all the while telling myself that it sounded awesome).  Just when I thought I had a perfect balance after a couple of days break it went back to sounding...

    Solder gurus - advice on how to attach silver cable to a replacement UE terminal

    Thanks for the reply Steve! Also props to Ted for the PM. You are the dood and i'll probably end up buying another CH cable from you guys soon if this goes pear shaped. Love this community...   The wire I will be attempting to solder is quite a bit smaller than the terminal cup which is...

    Solder gurus - advice on how to attach silver cable to a replacement UE terminal

    Hi all,   I bought the following to replace the terminals on my chris_himself cable but i'm damned if I will be able to make it work. The circled "plugs" are only about 2mm deep and the cuts you can see are about 1mm. I have bare silver wire and inserting into these holes does not seem...

    Audio-gd Digital Interface

    Perfectly - about the only time I have been relieved my workplace is all mac.    Edit - Sorry a bit hasty. I couldnt get up-sampling to work on the trial of Audirvana I was using. Not overly fussed about that however. Everything else has been a seamless plug and play situation thankfully.

    Quote:   Im using a macbook pro - tried with VLC, itunes and spotify and they sounded the same. Is there any way the osx audio engine could be causing this and how can I check? Krogg - on a mac by any chance?
