I'm not sure what you mean when you say "the HIFI module cripples when it is not ran on OTG mode". OTG mode only applies to devices which can act as a host and/or a client depending on what is connected to it which the HIFI module isn't.The HIFI module is always a slave(client) like say a...

Nope it won't degrade the sq....in fact it sounds much better as a standalone dac through a headamp(no physical vol on the b&o dac).Do note though you need the driver for windows which can be found in lg korean site(I've forgotten the link though) and the jack needs to be connected for the dac...

A post in diyah forum hopefully will help sway your decision   Quote: Read more: http://diyah.boards.net/thread/143?page=24#ixzz2ufnhid9Y   I don't have the lyr myself but have compared the ember to other HP amps and IMHO I would take the ember over anything else, even gear costing 2...

Hopefully below pic should help you. You can solder any one pair or both together.

Yeah got the DAC from ebay. http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/XMOS-PCM5102-USB-fiber-coax-DAC-headphone384kHz-32bit-completed-case-/231086095480?pt=US_Amplifier_Parts_Components&hash=item35cdcdfc78   The external battery is a power bank that I got locally. You can use any power bank to your liking...

I've posted this in the Alphadogs thread HERE, can add this to the list.

Found meself a good value DAC with HP out for portable use(at least while resting and a stack that can still fit my hands) with the Alpha:). It can drive the AD no problem and at quite low volume adjustment(software). This thing sounds great for $66(up there in terms of  Price/Perf. Ratio just...

What version are you at? UAPP does that if your not on the latest version....update it if your on a lower version....hope that helps.

Routing it would be a pain in the you know what and having to use a thinner cable was just not enticing for me. Plus using the split would be more durable if you ever snag the cables(which happens to me often) as it's better at distributing the pulling force on both cable/cups rather than the...

Thanks TekeRugburn. Since the both the cups originally have had the groove for the cables it makes it much more clean and easier to work with.

Great stuff here. So got myself some cheap 2 dollar stuff to make somewhat of a stand.

Finally got the time to repair the busted cable on the px100-II. Had to go double exit though instead of the single.

Yeah that's basically what I did .  

Nah.......A cheap banana stand should do the job fine  While the AD stand is good for the MD     Notice anything different on my AD's headband?

I second that....get the 12AU7 tube.....set jumpers to low gain and 120R output resistance and it should be good for your AD2K.....the 5751 tube is a high mu tube in other word a high gain tube (good for planars).
