Now that is Pinoy

Creative got back to me and said they will release the E5 at the end of November and that he output power is measured at 56mW @ 600 ohms.   I am planning on using the device to connect with bluetooth to a source like my phone or creative player with apt x to my helmet with helmet speakers or...

Anybody bringing a Shiite Lyr? I want to audition that amp with my 702's.   Can't wait to check out the gear!      

Finally got mine yesterday. Let it charge at home and it is now accompanying me here at work docked to the E9 connected to my computer via usb. Once I figured out that I needed to switch it to lo bypass I noticed an immediate improvement in the SQ.   Currently listening to Peter Gabriel's...

Thank you for that definition for "tube rolling". I had often wondered the same thing but never thought to ask. 

  Quote:   I am using my Sony amp to decode. When it is in DTS mode I get 24 bit. Regular 2 channel mode it samples down to 44.1. Even with my 16/44.1 flac files I am hearing detail I've never heard before. I can't wait to finish my Opus DAC and then whatever headphone amp I plan to get...

Howdy to my Ubuntu using friends. I just got done loading up Ubuntu 12.04 after getting frustrated that my 10.04 wouldn't recognize the onboard spdif on my sabertooth 990fx. I have to say I am giddy with the results. Sound management and SQ is phenominal. The new OS recognized the onboard...

Yeah, I tried plugging into the card when I got the 702's but it sounded horrible. The card is a C-media sound card. http://www.cmedia.com.tw/ProductsDetail.aspx?page=p&C1Serno=25&C2Serno=28&PSerno=33 I bought it mostly to use to bypass the mother board sound and use external digital to...

Oh my.....just got an E9. That settles it, if the sound can sound that good out of the little E9  then I definately want a dedicated headphone amp for the K702's. Just need to finish the Opus first :) I can't believe how much a little amplification extends the sound

Hmmmm, have to look into that  

Hi all, I am currently using my old Sony str db830 to drive my K702's. Do home audio amps have enough output to properly drive these headphones? Seems to me the K702's tend to fall flat and was wondering if I should hurry up and get something better to drive my headphones. I am also using...

Quote: I was wondering that too. I am looking for something to use at my desk at work.  I went through the spec's of both and found them to be identical. The NFB-5 looks to have a more robust transformer but is appears that is for other low voltage items like the display. The output is...

That stuff looks awesome. Back when I did electronics repair they didn't have that.  My local Fry's doesn't have it. gonna try another one before ordering it.

That is exactly the Iron I plan to purchase. $74 right now. I knew you guys would be informitive but didn't realize how supportive this group is. Thanks guys

MisterX....I think I smell a really good suggestion from you. Never made a PCB but heck, I am up for the challenge.   Of course, I say that now, .   Hmmmm, me likes the Otto

I chose it for three reasons. One is it's cost. I have always loved music and now that I have weened myself away from mp3's I have decided to make myself some nice components to listen to music. That said, this is all new to me. The cost to get into the Opus dac is much more palatable to me at...

Thanks for the reply The idea of the signal headed out to unpowered amps doesn't bode well with my brain. I am sure that it would work fine and that I would never notice it sonically but it seems dirty to me.  It's just the way my head works. I hadn't even considered a toggle. Now you have me...

I am in the process of building an Opus DAC. As soon as I finish this I will be moving on to my Beta and Sigma. I have the DIY itch and I feel the need to scratch it.

Hi all. long time lurker and first time poster. I am in the process of building the Opus DAC. This will be connected to my PC as my source. From the DAC I want to select two outputs. One out to my future headphone amp and then the other to my future speaker amp or amps. Where I am getting...

I've been looking around and cannot find if the micro usb on the Cowon S9 can be used as a line out. Also, if it can be used in this way is there a cord that can be used to connect to the D4 Mamba or D2+ Bo? Or, with the S9 am I limited to the mini jack out and if that is the case, how will it...
