Looking for an okto research dac8 Stereo. Willing to pay $1500 for it. Any color, with or without streaming. Thank you

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I would just like to report that CEntrance DACport (the one with the AMP, not LX) is fully compatable with Samsung Galaxy Note 4.   I tested it with both UAPP and the pre-installed, stock music app, as well two games: Dodonpachi Ressurrection and...

thanks, that reassured me gonna lurk aroud a week to cool my head before taking the plunge, but unless new information present itself, i think i'm 90% sure i'm gonna get the DACport

yeah that, and just outputting sounds through the DAC in general, through the android software and without a specialized software remember reading somewhere that it can do that? or did my mind go crazy and i'm mixing up my memories?

I just got my Galaxy Note 4, and am looking into a mobile setup with a DACport. (buying an external battery and a Y OTG cable to power it) Now I know that the DACport should most likely work with UAPP, as reported.   But my question is, for anyone who knows: will it work without UAPP...

Just received my Sound Blaster Z, initial impressions are good. Like the overclock.net thread said, SBX surround offers a good middle ground. I have tried both TiHD with CMSS-3D and Xonar with Dolby Headphones. It used to be the choice between the "hollow" sound of Dolby Headphones and...

got this from the audioengine website Considering the annis are rated at 65ohms, i'd say the D1 should be more than enough to drive it. Having the the knob as such a low position probably means that there's too much gain. Sorry, not sure what to do if you can't adjust the gain.

  Not at all, I think I paid $50 for it, pretty good price, considering that was quiet a few years ago.     I meant i was gonna try plugging my amp directly into the sound card when my z arrives.   Logic would dictate that my huge and (relatively) expensive dedicated external dac board...

Thanks guys for the answers, I just ordered the Z card off amazon with the mic (kinda wanna try out the noise cancelling feature) Creative really need to clarify their products better, especially their binaural surround technology. To this day all we really know about their qualities come from...

Hi guys, I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find anything regarding it   In my current setup, I have: Titanium HD mini-toslink out > Zero DAC > Matrix M-stage > K702 annis   now if i want to try out the SBX Pro Studio in the Z series, is it enough for me to...

Just found this, Tt eSPORTS BAHAMUT. From the looks of it, it can decode DTS. Wonder how it sounds compared to the Mixamp...

Just got my annis last night, #651 I've been lurking on head-fi for years, and this is gonna be the first post in which i contribute something.   I have owned, at one time or another, ath-esw9, ath-ad700, dt880(32ohm), pc360, and q701. Unfortunately i sold my q701 to pay pay for the annis...

Quote:   I've been lurking on this forum for some time now. This deal just sent me over the edge. Just placed my order. Thank you so much.

Just the other day, I ordered a pair of DT880 off ebay. The item was listed as the 250ohm version. However the version I received is the 32ohm one. I did a search on headfi, and found that people generally think that the 250ohm version is superior because of its less reliance on current...

  problem fixed. just got my pair of LT1364's There's still a minor hiss, but that's not perceptible till ear splitting volumes. Thanks for wishing me luck. I'm sure your sincere wishes revived my dac from the dead.

Thanks man. O wow, did you know you can order free samples from the Liner Technology website? Just ordered 2 "sample" LT1364's from there. Being a student has its advantages it seems.

NOOOOOOOOOOO I was just messing around with my dac when I put one of the opamps in the preamp section backwards. it made the opamp smoke and probably burnt it out...  Hopefully it didn't kill the circuit. *sigh* time to start looking in to those opamp upgrades.

Just received my Zero DAC today. This is my first DAC, and my first attempt at a good sound system. This was suppose to me my glorious start on the road to an audiophile. Imagine my horror when this hiss assaulted my ears! The hiss seems to be coming from somewhere inside the dac, and it gets...

I'm not experienced nor well read, so I probably can't advise you on that matter. However, what I can do is to tell you is what I have. Minus the headphones, adds up to just about 200. What I would do with the extra 50 dollars is to switch the UCA202 with a M-audio transit. or, if another 50...

The best way to upgrade audio coming from your computer depend on your budget. If you do decide to get a sound card, then it's very easy to install, just take the old one out of its socket and put the new one in. I'm not sure since i've never looked into soundcards, but I think they all have...

Hello everybody, Ever since I started college, I've gotten more into the audio stuff (without the restrictions of my parents) I've done some reading around (but by no means extensively), and finally decided to register an account. my current setup include an ad700 in the process of burning...
