    Reply to review by 'alex699' on item 'Burson Audio - The Conductor - Reference Class DAC / Headphone Amp / Pre-Amp'

    Interesting this. I must've purchased my Conductor around the same time a couple years back, but I was lucky enough that the guys in the store I bought it from let me spend a good 3.5 hours with whatever I wanted. At the time I was set on the HD800s and it was just a matter of picking the best...

    Can Con 4! Sydney, Australia Meet!

    I don't remember last last year as I wasn't there, but I thought we just went with baby wipes. Don't get me wrong using our own tips is a great idea if it weren't that there is no real standard size fit.   Just my two cents. I think Paul had a proper set of rules lined up for this a couple of...

    Can Con 4! Sydney, Australia Meet!

    I'll put my name down as an expression of interest.   Just not entirely sure if I'll be able to make it with uni work being a huge factor.   Has location of venue come up in discussion yet? (Sorry I haven't bothered reading every page in this thread.) From the past few meets they've been at...

    Setup Advice -- What should I improve? Any glaring weaknesses?

    That's why I said to trying playing a CD in iTunes as you can't install Foobar on a Mac.   I merely said to go lossless because I've noticed a huge difference when using the HD800's, I can't comment on the LCD 3's as I haven't give them a proper listen yet. I say this from someone who has had...

    Setup Advice -- What should I improve? Any glaring weaknesses?

    I'll keep this brief as there's certainly nothing wrong with your gears.   I'd switch to to an optical/toslink cable so you are then using to Sabre chip instead of the Tennor. Wouldn't worry too much about the quality of the cable, I mean something half decent just don't go nuts as it's just...

    Can-con 2 (Sydney 2012) Meet Aug 18th 3:30 to 8:30pm (near Epping station)

    A source for you guys seems to be a problem. I'm bringing 3 laptops on the day if anyone needs a spare: 2 current model acers and my MacBook unibody (yes it was a while ago now)' which I'll be using purely for the optical out. One of the acers is the top-spec Utlrabook so obviously no optical...

    Quote:   Good thing you brought this up I starting to wonder who was best to contact .   All I can say is that I hope I'm not asking to much with the list:   Something from Ultrasone i.e. Edition 8/10? as I've never heard a pair of Ultrasone's before. Violectric HPA V200...

    Can-con 2 (Sydney 2012) Meet Aug 18th 3:30 to 8:30pm (near Epping station)

    Thanks for the clarification on the date/time.   Do we have address for the place in Epping?   Also are we going by same rules as last year, with us PM ing the organiser our details in that off chance of theft?   This year seems to look a little better than last with the turn out and...

    Can-con 2 (Sydney 2012) Meet Aug 18th 3:30 to 8:30pm (near Epping station)

    Hey I'd love to be there again after the success of last year's.  August 19 for me is the distant future, so I'll most likely be available, but will keep you posted.   I'm based in Sutherland Shire and don't really care about the traveling too much, although last venue had plenty of space I...

    b&w mm-1 thoughts

    Just thought I should make this point clear as I only found this out after buying them from apple a couple weeks after their release:  the built in DAC is only capable of projecting a 16-bit, 48khz output so if you plan on using the headphone jack for 24-bit 96khz audio like I did your wasting...
