    Trying to replace 3.5mm connector. Do you know which electrical component to buy?

    After several days searching for the OEM product, I finally found it: PJ3549. Too bad you are required to make a min. order of 10.000 pieces. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around ordering 9.999 pieces too many?

    Trying to replace 3.5mm connector. Do you know which electrical component to buy?

    Hmm, a screw is a good idea, but I don't think it would fit. The hole is only 5.3 mm in diameter.   The currenct Jack socket housing is around 6 x 6 x 14 mm.   EDIT: I've decided to just drill the hole bigger and maybe use one of these: 161-7400-EX 4832.2300 161-3402-E (has the shortest...

    Trying to replace 3.5mm connector. Do you know which electrical component to buy?

    I'm gonna contact Phillips in hopes that they have the part. They most likely won't have, so I am considering modding it too.   Would there be any issues in soldering the wires directly onto a jack socket? As in not using the circuit board at all.   What glue could I use to hold the thing in...

    Trying to replace 3.5mm connector. Do you know which electrical component to buy?

    So the 3.5mm jack connector in my Phillips Fidelio X1s broke. I managed to dissect the thing, only to realise that I don't know exactly what I'm doing. I am specifically having problems figuring out how to find a jack connector that can replace the broken one.   You can see what it looks like...

    Computer setup solution for Fidelio X1s. All-round use (Music,gaming)? How does the Xonar stx swappable amps work?

    By the way, is this the right board to post this?   If there is anything about my question that was not put the right way, feel free to ask

    Computer setup solution for Fidelio X1s. All-round use (Music,gaming)? How does the Xonar stx swappable amps work?

    I am just gonna get right to my point and say that my main goal is to drive a pair of 30-ohm Phillips Fidelio x1s through my computer with decent quality (the best for the money).   I heard that something about “OPamps” on the xonar stx being swappable. Is it possible to swap out one of those...

    Need help with decision on what headphones + soundcard + mixamp(optional) to combine into a optimal headphone surround sound system.

    Alright, I'll take a closer look at the dolby headphones technology and perhaps contact NamelessPFG.   Btw, rød grød med fløde

    Need help with decision on what headphones + soundcard + mixamp(optional) to combine into a optimal headphone surround sound system.

    Apparently, the thing that the astro mixamp pro does, is that it scales the Dolby digital live 5.1 output from the sound card into 7.1 surround sound. The internal sound card can only output 5.1 by itself.    Perhaps Astro is the only company which has produced such a device?

    Need help with decision on what headphones + soundcard + mixamp(optional) to combine into a optimal headphone surround sound system.

    I've heard many places that Dolby digital live is the best surround sound you can get, and that the mixamp is required to achieve Dolby surround sound. However, I am not sure how legitimate that statement is.   I'll add a question to the bunch   Can a dedicated PC-soundcard produce Dolby...

    Need help with decision on what headphones + soundcard + mixamp(optional) to combine into a optimal headphone surround sound system.

    I am about to go out and buy me a nice pair of headphones for my computer. Because I am only an infant in terms of my experience with headphones and audio systems for the PC, I ran into some problems. Also, it might be an important mention that I, primarily but not only, will be using my headset...
