Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread
I got a hold of a friends Samsung Galaxy S3 and, after installing Power Amp, I was able to play an 88.2/24 .flac sample through the Glacier's DAC. It was strange though that the phone didn't recognize it until after I switched the On The Go (OTG) adapter cable to plug into the GS3 and the...- Rexgabriel

Quote: I have been using it to drive Audio Technica ATH-AD2000 which it does with authority. Dangerous actually because it sounds very good very loud and it's deceiving, They are however, very easy to drive. Sensitivity: 102 dB/mW Impedance: 40 Ohms Quote: I've downloaded...- Rexgabriel

Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread
Sorry I don't have any custom iems. I have tried it with all the iems that I have; hippo shroom, boom, pearls. Feels Pro900 (single balanced armature). New and old iBuds. Some cheap Sonys my sister has. At all gain settings, at all volumes, even red (mute) it is there. Mind you it is very low...- Rexgabriel

Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread
Turockrocks; The DAC input port can be programed to NOT request power from the connected source (USB host) so that it will function with other battery operated devices. So one can turn off it's charging function so it doesn't get rejected. IMO the reason for the two ports. When...- Rexgabriel

Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread
shinn: It is definitely MICRO USB, it comes with a self winding USB Type-A to Micro-B which will allow you to plug it in to your computer as soon as you open the box. The photo you may have seen in my album is a mix up, but I have temporarily lost the cable so can't take another pic of it. But...- Rexgabriel

AnakChan; did you set the amp to not request power when you connected it to the iPhone 5? Turockrocks; it's basically a toggle switch.- Rexgabriel

Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread
I'm getting lots of negative vibes about wether or not it will be compatible. I did however read somewhere (wish I could find it again) that iPhone 5 supports the "USB Audio" standard. Alas no-one in my town has a USB female/Micro USB male adapter in my town. I've ordered one from Seattle (I'm...- Rexgabriel

Halloween Spook Juke 2012
Halloween music need not be metal. I'm looking for input from real people on how I can find more spooky fun, while being good music. The best I've heard is DEAD MAN'S BONES Got anything similar? Better? Spookier? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGakxDyjwzc...- Rexgabriel

Apple Lightning Bolt + FiiO E11
From what I've been reading, the lightning connector puts out only digital signals, unusable to any LOD. If you want to use your L3 you'll need the $30 adapter from Apple with its built in DAC to take that digital signal and convert it into something that is useful through a 3.5mm jack. The... -
This Old Headphone: Reconstructing the Pioneer SE-700 (56k=slow)
I'd like to hear more impressions about this. I love odd old tech. Piezoelectric tweeters are also a pretty big deal in hi-fi. MuRata makes what is called a supertweeter. It's frequency response goes to 100khz (though it starts at 15khz) meaning that driver is vibrating FAST. I'd assume that...- Rexgabriel
