    I'm really starting to dislike Zune support

    Just a venting thread as I'm getting very frustrated with MS and their Zune support. First Zune - Flaky back-light (probably a bad soldering job) so I sent it back before it was out of warranty. Second Zune - Seemed to partially crash all the time. Press pause and the music would continue...

    Windows 7 audio a huge step back for me

    I guess I should have done a little more research before upgrading to Windows 7. Now I've lost two things that were important to me. 1. Bitperfect output from all music applications (Itunes, Zune). 2. Simultaneous output from SPDIF and analog outputs. This is running with an Auzentech...

    How long does it take the OPUS DAC to dry?

    I had a minor accident with a glass or red wine tonight resulting in my uncased Opus DAC requiring a bath. How long do you think I should leave it to ensure that all the water under the components is dried out? Perhaps I should finally finish my front panel design over the holidays and get...

    Need Fuze with AAC

    Thanks to DRM once again kicking me in the teeth (will I ever learn), I'm looking for another portable player. My dilemma is as follows: I'm tired of music dissapearing from my Napster subscription. I love the Fuze. In Canada it appears that Itunes is my only option for DRM free tracks for...

    2 headphones with Auzentech Prelude

    Hi, I've been trying to figure this out without success. Is it possible to use two pairs of headphones with the Auzentech Prelude. I have my 701's hooked up to the main output with my amp in the middle. I was hoping to run my old HD590's directly out of the card as I don't keep my amp...

    Bitperfect Analog and Digital linked?

    I recently bought an Auzentech Prelude. I noticed that I can play DTS wave files in just about every application that plays wave files and get bitperfect output if the volume slider is all the way up. If the volume slider is down a little bit then the output is not bitperfect. My question...

    X-fi Digital out and Microphone at the same time

    Hi, I'm probably just confused. I've been looking at getting one of the X-fi cards, specifically the extreme gamer. It looks like from the specifications that I would need to buy a separate adapter to get digital out, and I would not be able to use a microphone if I did this. Am I...

    DAC - Most confusing component to upgrade

    Hi, I've been trying to decide if a source upgrade is necessary and have been watching the "computer as source" forum for some time. I've never been more confused about an upgrade in my life. I think a lot of people are in the same boat given the number of "which DAC should I buy?" threads...

    Worth upgrading the AV710

    Currently I'm using an AV710 (Wolfson DAC) do feed my DarkVoice and 701's. Has anyone upgraded from the 710 to something else and been impressed? Basically I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading, and what I should be looking at to see an improvement over the 710's Wolfson DAC.

    Can I end my IEM hell?

    To make a long story short, I'm strugling to find an IEM that makes me really happy. Brief History E4C - I found these harsh sounding, and no lower end. UM2 - I found these to be lacking in the upper frequencies. I sold the UM2's and kept the E4's. Eventually I found that I could...

    Output jacks on DV336i powerfull enough to drive speakers?

    Are the output jacks on the back of the DV336i amped? If so would they be powerful enough to drive a set of small bookshelf speakers?

    Good navigation for large files

    Any players out there that offer good ways to navigate large files? Sometimes I have MP3's that are several hours long and I want to be able to navigate them quickly. My Iriver IFP just doens't cut it, and I don't like using the stylus on my Axim.

    How can I get sometning like internet radio on a PDA or MP3 player?

    I recently cancelled my Sattelite Radio subscription, but miss the chance to get exposed to new artists. What I would ideally like is some way to download songs from specific generes to a portable device and play them on the go. Something from a service that updates the music so I get exposed...

    Power rating of amp

    Do the power ratings listed for amps really mean anything or are they just a useless spec? I'm waiting for delivery of a pair of AKG 701's and realize that long term I'll probably need a dedicated amp, but I am wondering if my HT reciever will power them decently for the immediate future...

    Hate my IEM's (Shure E4c)

    Hi, I purchased a pair of Shure E4c's after hearing so many positive things about them. Personally I find they sound flat (not in the good way) and harsh. It seems that most people don't find this so I guess it's just the way my hearing is. I find that i enjoy music from my speakers...
