I have started using the 11.32 via optical to my laptop as the USB driver was ridiculously frustrating and unreliable. I am not unfamiliar with installing drivers and other software on my computer, but all I have been having with the Audio GD driver software is issues from the start. Depending...

Sorry I think you misunderstood my question. The phono preamps I can see seem to only have RCA outputs to go to amplifiers. My headphone amp does not have an RCA input, only coaxial, optical and usb.    My headphone amp also has a build in DAC, would this be bypassed if using a Turntable?

Hi guys, just a quick question.   If I have a Turntable that requires a phono-preamp, is it possible to get a cheap one that I could then connect to my headphone amp, which has 3 inputs, optical, coaxial and usb?    I want to buy a turntable soon, but at the minute I do not have the...

Having a bit of trouble with the software at the minute. So my laptop broke and I am using a different one, still Windows 7. From a fresh install of the OS, I put my collection of FLAC tracks on the laptop and attempted to reinstall the software for the 11.32. I downloaded Version 1.22 because I...

Hi guys, just wondering, if I have an "older" model 11.32 (bought at the end of February) and i want to do a fresh install on my computer, which firmware should I use? I recently have switch computers and have been unsure which version to use when installing it clean. 

Quote: Great thank you so much for the help :)   I have it set on WASAPI now and I'm finding it funny to deal with because other audio (such as Skype) can't play while I'm listening to music through my player, so I am unaware if I am receiving a call. Are there ways around this?   ...

Hi guys, my 11.32 arrived and although I haven't had a full chance to experiment with it, I'm loving it so far :) This is my first usb amp/dac and was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.   What output should I be using with my audio player? DS, WASAPI or ASIO? All my...

If you are looking for a set of comfy closed back headphones, I don't think you can go wrong with the 770 Pros. If you don't mind the sound leakage, maybe consider the open back version, the 990 Pros.   Other suggestions: ATH AD900X, Mr. Speaker Mad Dogs, Sennheiser HD 558/598, ATH M50...

So if you use the 11.32 through the SPDIF, you don't need the to install the drivers? I think m laptop has a SPDIF in the 3.5mm jack, would this be better to use than the USB?

The answer to this question may be very obvious, but I'd like to put my mind at ease :)    So if I am only using this DAC/Amp to play FLAC files (44.1kHz) through my music player (MusicBee), is it as simple as plug and play, or do you need the 32bit software to play lower bitrate files? Is...

Hi and thanks for the replies :) I have gone through as many sound settings as I can find both in my music player and in windows, but everything seems normal and nothing strikes me for being the reason. I'm guessing now that it may be the headphone jack.

Hmm I would be interested to hear anyone with experience to this as well. Mu unit has yet to be shipped and I would be very worried about getting a product that gets so hot.

Hi thanks for the reply :)   No, in actual fact, I'd say it's more obvious at louder volumes than when it is quiet. It's very distracting! 

Hi guys, just wondering if you think maybe my laptop headphone jack is a little faulty. So basically I'm running my headphones directly through my laptop headphone jack, no amp or anything, and for the last couple of weeks with my Pro 900's and DT 880's, I've noticed that the left side is always...

Sadly my unit isn't getting shipped until the 18th of this month but I know it will be worth the wait! Can I ask, when I get it, is it as simple as plug it into my laptop and use it, or are there a lot of software obstacles I have to go through? At the minute, to playback audio I simply plug in...

Just got my 900s today with some J$ pads that I barely managed to get on there but I have to say, the J$ pads are worth the money x10. Way better isolation and comfort. Can't comment on the sound just yet, still waiting to compare them to my 880's and to amp them! :)

This whole thing is very confusing. Are there other factors at play that are required to drive the headphones or is the output (mW) enough to go with? If so, why do people then say amps such as the LD 1+ can't drive high impedance cans?

Just purchased one of these moments ago and I am thoroughly scanning through this thread for any info I may have missed :) It's my first venture into either an amp or dac and after countless weeks of consideration and research, I just felt this was the right one for me at a price I was willing...

I was recent advised against getting a M Stage in favour of an ODAC+O2 combo as I was told the M Stage is very noisy. Is this the case or would' anyone have any opinions in relation to the M Stage vs the O2?

I was looking and I can get the desktop O2+ODAC from the UK for 230 euro (310 dollars) shipped. If I'm going to spend this much, do you think it is the best option for an amp and dac, powering both low and high impedance headphones?    Thanks for the help all.

I'm going to receive some Ultrasone Pro 900s soon so I'm still thinking of the Little Dot. If it has enough juice for the 250 Ohm Beyers, it would probably be even more suited to the Ultrasones? I don't really have enough money to get a more powerful amp atm along with a dac, so do you think the...

Hi, I have purchased Ultrasone Pro 900s, a little over my budget but what do you think? They come with J$ pads so like you have said they should be very comfy! Probably would have gone for the Mad Dogs otherwise but I'm excited for these to arrive :)

Thanks for the reply :) I live in Ireland so getting a JDS ODAC+O2 combo won't be possible. Is the UK company Epiphany Acoustics the same company or the UK version of JDS? They are a slightly different looking O2+ODAC! I have read a lot about the ODAC+O2 and it seems to regarded as the best...
