You were able to get a v5 upgrade for free from audio-gd?

Sorry I only own a v4 and v5 DSP, the v4 was a free upgrade from audio-gd and i sent the v3 back.   By now I'm really enjoying the v5 and the HD650 recable i got seems to fix my grudge with the vocals with those cans. I'll try to switch to the v4 as a soon as i feel i'm really used to the v5...

I got v3,4 and 5 on my DAC19 and while i never found any difference at all between and v3 and v4 the DSP1v5 just makes the DAC19 a totally different one for me. Actually i found it was a real deal being "forced" to buy the DSP1v5 as now i feel like having two really nice dacs for a little...

  I just also replaced mine and took a single photo with the cell in the process. Now i'm realizing that it must be the worst take ever but at least you can see Dips vs Jumpers.  

I got the DAC19 two hours ago, and i'm already impressed how i got a bigger/fuller sounding afterall moving from the uDac. The stunning part is how involving and engaging this "neutral" dac is considering I still have not even swapped to the RS1s since i plugged it!

I just got a mail from audio-gd, they told me thay my order could have some delay because they are doing some improvements around the TE7022 chip (maybe the 50% volume issue?).  

Oh, you already got it? Cheers SaiSai :)   I ordered mine a week ago and already can't wait to get it!

Thanks for the input slim.a :) I e-mailed audio-gd about the stacking issue and if they think it will be safe i'll be placing my order.

I'm thinking on pulling the trigger for one DAC-19 DSP and I have a few questions:   -How much heat it gets? I will have to stack the amp over the dac until i find a proper place for the rig, and it won't be until september when i'll be moving from where i live.   -I've been looking for...

Thanks for the link dongringo, if i'm not impressed with the sylvanias i'm waiting i'll be establishing my stock with a few more Raytheons.

I have a pair of Sylvania GB grey plates and a single black plates in the mail. I still can't believe going better from my current Raytheon WMG.

@klekk & jamato8: Ok, i'll contact iBasso for advice.

I accidentally cracked the optical connector, it still works but anyone was able to replace it?

Actually there are current 1,8 ATA SSD drives that will fit on the slim H120 without adaptors at all, same size 1:1 as a the "factory" drive. KingSpec 1.8" 50pin IDE 128GB SSD, 50 pin P7230/ TX16 - eBay (item 280421871655 end time Mar-10-10 10:57:10 PST)

I'm in the same boat, looking for a dedicated dac for the Ear+HD. My current choice would be the PSA DLIII, never listened to it but there's a lot written on how performs and fits al the traits i'm looking for. My problem is being unable to find one with a EU 220v PSU on the second hand market...

Wow that's such a statement, can't wait to get a pair now. Actually I've been trying to find red labelled ge 12B4A's since my last post in the thread without luck at all. Is there any chance that the white labeled and more common ones are the same?

Oh great. Now to be sure i'll have to find a pair of Red Labeled GE 12B4As

Mnnh i thought the power tubes didn't affect SQ at all.

Thanks skylab, i was bitten by the tube bug and i really feel like looking for all the established good 5751's to try myself on my Ear+HD.

Just spotted this ones on ebay. How are these worth (sound-wise) like the golden pin or JHS ones?

I'm really looking for the dimensions of the unit.

I'll post my review for sure when i get it. Its incredible how a product can get 37 here and no single comment on the big A.

I'm in the same boat as you, and my choice being in the US would be a 2nd hand PS Audio DLIII. It seems quite a institution for his SQ/price and also (and important for the me due to space) its quite the same size as the Ear+HD and i could stack them. The DL3 is really expensive here and i...

It seems it does a good job with the RE0s as stated in the previous page. If that's true it could be my perfect work rig... for less than 200$
