2 Rigs to show...   The main rig consists of the Project Debut Carbon into a TC750LC phono amp. Alternatively, if I’m feeling digital, I will use my TV to send digital audio from an Android TV stick into a Fiio D-03K dac.  Both of those options feed into the Musical Paradise MP-301 MK3 amp. ...

I can confirm that this does indeed work.

Quote: Trae, if I am not mistaken, this is the whole point of WASAPI/ASIO.  Both are designed to bypass the kernal mixer in windows, thus eliminating system sounds.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Quote:   Ok cool.  That's good news.  Hopefully I'll be able to test it out soon when my android mini pc comes in the mail.  

Thanks for the info.  Did you use an OTG cable? 

Quote:   Right on! Thanks Steve.  I'm looking forward to it.

I was wondering if anyone has had any success using an android device to feed USB audio to this thing.  I was thinking about switching to an android device as my primary source.  If anyone has a Galaxy SIII or a note II, as well as a USB OTG cable they can test this out.  

I'd go.   Sub'd

My humble rig       DT-880's 250 ohm.     Musical Paradise MP-301 Mk-3, Audio-GD NFB 11.32... Plus a bunch of dust.   I could listen to the 880's through the MP-301 all day.  I use the Audio-GD mostly for DAC purposes.     PSB Image 2B's.  Not the most ideal...

Unless of course one uses a MAC and then there is no issues at all.   excellent point. If only I could afford one 

Most would probably tell you that the USB input is better for sound quality.  I use the s/pdif input strictly out of personal preference.

Depends on what you're looking for.  I'd say if you want a pretty analytical dac/amp combo you can't go wrong.  I use the amp with DT 880's and I find my self craving a little more lower mids.  The bass extension is pretty good however.  The DT 990's might solve this problem with their more...

How loud do the HE - 500's go?

would someone mind testing the USB input with a Samsung Galaxy S III and a USB OTG cable

From my experience, my amp opened up after about 24 hours burn in.  Whether that was psychological or not, I don't know.  I never noticed particularly harsh treble myself.  But I was using 880's.

The monitor 01 USD outputs at 24 196. I have not used the 11.32 USB input extensively. Like I said earlier, I couldn't properly install the driver and switched back to the toslink input.

This has not been my experience. www.musiland.com.cn/index.php/Product/show/id/143 I was using 192khz with my fiio D03k

I thought I would share my experiences with Audio gd thus far. The box arrived much sooner than I thought. I was pleasantly surprised. When I opened the box, it was missing the promised USB cable, and the power cable was from an incorrect region. I found an old power cable of mine and decided...

With my Dt 880's 250 ohm it becomes uncomfortably loud after about 35%.  No problem powering the dt 88o's at all.  There is zero hum with the 880's.   as an aside, I also don't notice much treble roll off at all. I was expecting much more.     *Edit:  I agree completely with the inner...

I have the MK3.  I picked it up from Garry personally.  I also purchased a set of used PSB speakers from him.  The amp sounds great, but I can't really compare it to any other equipment because it is my first piece of audiophile gear.  I can say that the sound quality into my ATH-M50's is not...
