Thoughts on a bunch of DACs (and why delta-sigma kinda sucks, just to get you to think about stuff)
Hey guys, I have a question. I want to spend ~$200 to buy a DAC to use with my stereo speaker system. I have been looking at the ODAC and the Schiit Modi 2 Uber. Can anyone compare the sonic performance of these two DACs? Or can someone recommend a better DAC that can be had for about $200...- OperatorPerry

Okay, and you use the AC adapter with the Modi 2U, whereas the Modi 1 does not use an AC adapter?- OperatorPerry

Thank you for the reply. However, I am looking for a sound quality/performance comparison between the ODAC and Modi 2 Uber. If someone can provide a comparison along those lines, I will be greatly appreciative. Thanks- OperatorPerry

Brief Odac impressions
Question, Should I be using a USB cable with a ferrite core to connect my ODAC? And if so, are the USB cables with ferrite cores from Monoprice fine? I need a 10ft cable, and I connect my ODAC to my Behringer A500 speaker amplifier. Thanks,- OperatorPerry

Sony MDR MA900 Impressions Thread
Lachlan, any updated thoughts on MA900 vs HD 650? I have owned and enjoyed the MA900 for just over a year and recently decided to search for an upgrade to them. I ordered the HD 650 about a week ago and will be trying them out for about 3 more weeks to decide if they are worth the ~$415 I paid...- OperatorPerry

Quote: I can spend ~ $500 if I return the O2 (arrived with deformed case), or ~ $300 if I keep the O2. I keep coming back to the AD700 because it sounds easy, laid back, and normal. The Q701 sounds good but it not nearly as peaceful as the AD700. I have considered the HD...- OperatorPerry

Hello, I have ordered the Q701 twice, used it for a month each time, and returned it each time. I still prefer my AD700 to the Q701. I used the Q701 with an O2 amp. I used the AD700 with good motherboard audio. What upgrade should I try next? Thanks- OperatorPerry
