I have no idea what might have happened to your dac but you might have better results emailing HRT's support directly. I'm working with them in trying to get mine to play nicely with my computers.

Awesome stuff, the morning works best for me on the 20th!

Of those days the 13th would be the best, but maybe it would be best to hold it in September to give more time for promotion of the event?

Pardon my ignorance but what is this? A quick google search didn't provide much info.

I second using EAC. Check out Hydrogenaudio's wikis for more help.

Long time lurker here and I never have been to a meetup like this before but after seeing impressions of the Detroit one in June the hi-fi nerd in me is most excited to attend. I live a transient life between the lower East and West side of Michigan and would love to meet up in my old Alma...

I've heard nothing but good reviews for the HRT Music Streamer II. It lists at $150. But it doesn't have optical support.   But I'm in the same position as you, I'm looking to buy an entry level DAC for my fledgling computer/system combo so I can ditch the 3.5mm headphone to RCA cord I'm...

I picked up a 2238B many months back on ebay for about $115 shipped. The receiver was in nearly perfect condition, well above what the seller described it to be. Needless to say the Marantz has been powering my paradigm atom bookshelf speakers to put out blissful sound waves caressing my inner...

Thanks for the information! My budget really is just arbitrary at the moment for I am now simply in the planning stage of this purchase. I really have no knowledge on these kinds of high end tables, especially the mix and match table and tonearm type setup. I'm looking around the Analog Dept...

I came to the conclusion that this Dual 1241 is just not worth my time to fix up into great condition, thus being the audio enthusiast that I am, I was somewhat swayed into thinking about getting a Thorens table. First, are there any other turntables that I should be looking at that could be...

I just put in Sting's latest album 'Songs from the Labyrinth' on to test my new Paradigm Atom monitor v5 bookshelf speakers. He really is a great vocalist but I wish they would have given Edin Karamazov more credit then just small text on the CD cover and a couple of mentions on the back on the...

I picked up a Dual 1241 on ebay for under $50 shipped and it came with a Shure M91ED cart with a rather worn out stylus. Now I would have no qualms with keeping this cart save that it seems that it is already difficult to find replacement styli for it and it seems that it would only get worse...

On a side note, Does anyone have some PF show tapes when Syd Barrett was the frontman? Can ya send them my way?

The Kinks - All Day and All of the Night

I got an advanced radio copy of this album a few weeks ago. I dig it a lot but it just feels like it is lacking a key element which they had in the past. The tracks just sound cleaner and less pyschedelic. I dig it, but half the material has already been released and those are some of the best...

Bitches Brew, yo dig on that psychedelic sound.

I'd not recomend jumping into trout mask replica right away, it could be just too damn strange for many out there. Safe as Milk is a safe bet, along with The Clear Spot. but really, there are a few great beefheart websites out there, search for them.

I just picked up The Photographer by him. I dig it quite a bit. Find some audio samples online or go to a Barns and Noble.

As much as I love Foobar2000, I do not think it can upload anything to the CDDB. Try a different program.

alright, so you want minimal electronic music try: Pan/Tone Biosphere Higher Intelegence Agency Brian Eno Steve Reich

Cecil Taylor is an interesting preformer, as well as Albert Ayler. Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch is a great album as well. I am really diggin the free jazz but sadly I have yet to find anyone who tops Sun Ra for me (not that that is a bad thing at all). It is not easy listening material, but...

I purchased some HD-280 pro's this november and I have been wearing them quite often on my college campus. I keep getting odd looks from people but I just play it cool and dig my Rio Karma. Other then that, I never see anyone with 'quality' headphones on. It is a shame that this lack of...

Krzysztof Penderecki

No, 'rock' is not dieing out. There is now more innovation and creativity then ever before. This is only due to the media that now exists (internet) for this decades creativity is no different then the previous decades creative mindset. But when you look at 'modern art' you see boxes placed...
