Hey Guys,   Just wondering if there is anything out there that can upsample/resample at the OS layer?   I'm not looking for something application to play music as a good deal of my listening is done thru MOG.  But at times I enjoy listening to music upsampled using Audio Midi Setup, so would...

I don't believe a thread exists for this amazing device so I thought I'd create one.   First off, links to pro reviews:   http://positive-feedback.com/Issue65/microstreamer.htm http://www.whathifi.com/review/hrt-microstreamer...

Posting here as a fellow head-fier turned me on to this great rendering engine, and now I'm hooked.  To my ears it clearly is better than JRiver but with a nasty caveat:   Repost from: http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=49944   I am using ReClock as a means of providing WASAPI for...

Just read this:   http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/metrum/1.html   Anyone thinking about ordering?  Have experience with the other Metrum DACs?   Tried both a MiniMax and Anedio and wasn't feeling the Sabre sound, at least w/ my Edition 8s.  Now I'm listening to an old Ack! Dack...

Just throwing it out there as I have a SinglePower amp I'd like to have inspected.  Anyone know a good one?  I'm thinking probably anyone who works on tube audio amps/guitar amps would be sufficient?

Bought a Slam PPX3 w/ 6sn7 upgrade in late 2005.  Took a breather from headphone audio/Head-fi for a good 4 years or so.  Came back to see there was quite a scandal surrounding the company and it is now defunct.   Back in the day (mid '00s) the Slam seemed to be a dominant amp in its price...

I spent about 1.5 years and clocked at least 1000 hours on an Ack! 2.0 + Slam PPX3 + L3000 setup. I'm currently grooving to my iPhone with the stock buds at work. I've never owned an iPod before and have only listened briefly to various models over the years. With the rock EQ it sounds...

Hey Guys, My setup is in my sig, but to restate - PC -> AV710 -> Ack! hi-rez 2.0 -> Slam PPX3 -> L3000s I've had my current setup for about a year and haven't really paid much attention to Head-fi over the past 6 mos... now I'm coming back it _seems_ to me the DAC world has blown up...

Fellow L3k Owners, By my estimate there are a least a couple dozen L3k owners on this site and it seems a good deal have experienced the dreaded bass buzz issue. Mine apparently had the issue when new, were fixed by the original owner, only to come back (in another guise?) @ ~150 hours. Now...

Guys, I just had both lobes pierced w/ fairly large (12 gauge) hoops. I asked about headphones and he cautioned against it, like for 3-4 months. Unless I keep the phones clinically clean. Any advice? I'm thinking regular leather cleaner/conditioner for my L3k pads might not be good, have...

Every time I check up on these guys it seems like they're deeply involved in projects w/labelmates and other obligations. I mean that's been par for the course with them, but it's like what a half decade since The Argument came out, they're middle aged, have families, etc. Anyone read/heard...

Alright, this should probably go in the members lounge, but maybe it will spur ideas... 100 milliwatt guitar amp, uses these teensy tubes from the 80s designed for missle use The tubes seem nearly impossible to remove (they might be secured inside) so I just took a closeup here...

Hey Guys, My L3000s began to really open up over the past few days with magnificent transparency (~150-200 hours). A side effect is a resonance in the left driver with deep droning bass, esp. noticeable on a few Marley songs. A fix was done by the original owner on this driver, and up until...

DateDec 10th (Saturday), 11am-5pm LocationRec room at Pacific Pines condo complex in Encinitas Directions (both North/South) Take 5 to Manchester. Turn left (east), go approx 1 mile. Past the second light Manchester turns into El Camino Real, maybe another 100 yards or so Pacific Pines will...

Anyone looking forward to this?

Hey Guys, I'm thinking about giving the Ack! Dack! a go, but I need a toslink input and some jitter reduction/upsampling couldn't hurt either. I know the Monarchys can be had used for a bit more than $100 but I can't find any now, and would feel a bit foolish paying the $250 new. Any...

Hey Guys, Just got a pair today. I knew they were offset, but not this much... one side is like 6 inches long while the other is 2 feet! For the life of me I can't figure out the proper way to wear these without putting full tension on the left cord and having a large amount of slack on...

Here's my rub - I feel extremely let down by rock music genre for oh, the past decade or so. It seems the few respected bands that have mainstream appeal (like White Stripes, Modest Mouse) are good, but not producing canonical, timeless material. While the plethora of indie bands, while also...

As someone who's still rather clueless about club music/electronica... I've had Daft Punk's Disover for awhile and just started to pay attention to it. I like it. How exactly is this stuff classified, and what other groups should I look at?

It's not just the quality of the music, which is of course superb... but now my setup is quite nice I'm listening to the One Love compilation and am finding the recording quality of the songs stunning - the soundstage, detail, eq, etc, to be standouts amongst my music collection. Anyone feel...

Anyone have experience with one of these? Stereophile mag gave it a class A rating a few years ago http://www.stereophile.com//digitals...561/index.html Also this comparison with the Bel Canto DAC 2 claims they're neck and neck in performance...

The Dialogue II is a non-oversampling (NOS) DAC which is sold on eBay, hand built by a guy in Taiwan. I decided to check it out after reading impressions from a couple Head-fiers. http://cgi.ebay.com/TDA1543-Non-Over...QQcmdZViewItem The equipment chain in this comparison is...

The AV710 has optical out. The tubedac+ is coax in. What are my options? If there are adaptors are they lossy?

Noticed on Audiogon forums some folks making a fuss of this... it originally sold for $500 and appeared by some accounts to best the major $1k and under DACs. Unfortunately the price has been bumped to $1k, and it's not transportable, does not include an amp, justa DAC. Anyone here have...

Just in - slightly used L3000s, courtesy of Canman. A few photos here, don't recall seeing the box/packaging before. Nor have I ever seen a picture of an L3000 w/ a pug. Box Inside box. Inside inside box. Sexy Sadie samples the leather goodness.
