    Abbingdon Music Research DP-777 Thread

    Hi Most DAC/DDC drivers need to be initially installed while being in GUI mode. Only very few work if directly installed in core mode. That's also the reason why my PDF manual states to always do the initial installation of the OS in GUI mode. But i don't want to hijack this thread so let's...

    Hey Gavtron   But does it also offer a Kernel-Streaming Driver, and if so does it work in core mode?

    Abbingdon Music Research DP-777 Thread

    Hello Folks Any Server2012/AudiophileOptimizer Users participating in this thread? Does DP-777 offer Kernel Streaming and if yes does it run in core mode? I'm really tempted to order a DP-777 SE once available! :-) Best, Phil

    Sennheiser HD800 and HDVA 600 Review

    Hello Folks I just received my HD800 today. So far it sounds good, but probably still need some burn in. Highs are not as clear/bright as i wish them to be. But i hope this will settle in after a few days. Using this on a highly advanced computer audio setup, top notch Dual-PC setup both...

    Yulong Sabre D18 thread: reviews, impressions, discussion (full review added 2/5)

    i cannot say anything about their USB Card. but for me, the DDC and it's PSU were worth every penny. i hate to say it, but the difference is much more than the Yulong DAC made. it's not a tonal change, the sound get's so perfectly timed, it has a perfect flow. the stage get's bigger, there is...

    SOtM dx-USB HD asynchronous USB to S/PDIF converter

    well, i have the combo now since yesterday. applause to sonore, it had even the correct wallwart-power supply with a swiss plug. that's definitely not common, most of the time there is a German or UK plug. The look, feel & builtquality of the DDC and the PSU is very good.   just upon the...

    Woo Audio Amp Owner Unite

    Those are german Siemens E88CC NOS, A4 series, i think 1968. German Military Telefunken EZ80 NOS and 1963 Sylvania 7236. The sound of the Tung-Sol 5998 didn't suit my needs, so they are going to be sold again. The Combination of WA2 and T1 is absolutely what i was hopeing for. I had so many...

    Yulong Sabre D18 thread: reviews, impressions, discussion (full review added 2/5)

    My D18 arrived on friday in perfect condition. I ordered it during last weekend, so that's an amazingly fast delivery (it comes from hong kong).   The very first impression was very similar with my Essence STX. I have the same OpAmp's (AD8620BR) in my STX, as the D18. So i knew it will fit...

    The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread

    Higher ohm headphones would have better fit the STX. I would much prefer LME49860 over LME49720. AD8620BR says bye bye two both of them :)
