Wondering what DACs would work best with the LCD-2? I am currently using a NOS Devilsound V2.1 it comes with silver interconnects and Eichmann silver bullet plugs .  I think the sound is very nice but I have never compared it with a better DAC.  Is the LCD-2 sensitive enough to warrant buying a...

As the title reads... I am considering getting a tube DAC to go with my burson headphone amp.  not sure which are the best in the sub $1000 range.  I don't what the sound to be too warm and fuzzy.  Deep and lush sound is fine but I still want the detail and resolution.  Is it a case of 1 or the...

Hi as the title suggests I am getting a bad crackling noise when I use WASAPI output mode in Foobar but when I change to DS I don't get the crackling noise at all. So the obviousl answer is for me to not use WASAPI but I'm just wondering if any1 can tell me why this problem exists for me? My...

"Unrecoverable playback error: Could not open device: unsupported data format: 96000 Hz / 24 bit / 2 channels"   That is the error message I get when I try to play any mp3 of FLAC file in foobar.  If I set the output device in foobar to "DS : Speakers (devilsound DAC) then I get no problem...

Solved.

Well I have decided my next audio purchase will be a DAC to go with my HA160.  Here are my basic needs:   Budget: anything under $700 USD (willing to buy used) Features: Don't want or need preamp or balanced outs. Digital: Only need SPDIF (usb would be a nice bonus but not needed)...

I'm just wanting to get an idea what the popular theory is regarding importance of components.  For the purpose of the poll, assume that some1 has a lot of good headphones (in the $200 to $500 range) and a computer and nothing else.  What % of say a $1000 budget would you spend on the different...

I can't seem to find an EQ for VLC player.  Can some1 help me find it or an alternative video player that does have an easy to use EQ

I only seem able to add 15 songs to the playlist at a time. If I try to add any more than that when I right click it does not have the option "enqueu in foobar" Any1 know what I am doing wrong?

I am thinking about getting something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/6-3mm-1-4-INC...item19bb2d8a40 The reason is because I want to be able to have 2 headphones connected to my amp at the same time to make it easier for me to compare them without having to fuss around with taking 1 out and...

I'm wondering what amps you have tried with this headphone? I've got 1 on the way and am planning on driving it with my Shanling PH100. It's really good with low impedance cans so I am hoping it will be a good match.

I realise that a lot of these cheap DACs like uDAC, Musiland 02 etc are quite popular around here but are they good enough to hold their own in a high end system? I mean would they do well with a $1000+ amp and a T1/HD800 for example? Or would you need to buy a better DAC like a Cambridge? In...

Ok so I have been wondering about this recently. What is better to have like a HD800 or to use the same amount of money to buy 3 or 4 2nd tier headphones like: HD650, DT880, ATH-AD2000, Pro 900 etc etc. In 1 sense it seems stupid to me to own so many headphones because they really overlap so...

Budget is $300 - $500 I want phones that will be able to handle the complex passages of heavy rock music with ease and clarity. I like clean detailed impactful bass but don't want it to be overpowering or muddy and sloppy. I like detailed sparkling highs but not too bright or forward and...

I'm just wondering what this does and what I should have it set to? At the moment I have it set to 500ms. Does it make a difference to anything?

I am having a headache with this stupid thing. I have downloaded the foo_out_wasapi DLL file but I have no idea what to do with it or how to open it. I use Foobar as my media player and my DAC is the Musiland monitor 02 US.
