    Melodious MX-U8 USB Interface 8 Core XMOS chip

    Just read your post..now THAT interests me as I was considering either the Melodious or the breeze. I think it was you that sent me s post that said the breeze was a better unit stock. May I ask what your impressions are since you have had both and also what issues do the melodious have?

    Melodious MX-U8 USB Interface 8 Core XMOS chip

    Is there a thread that actually discusses the "Sound" of the stock unit? The title says nothing about modding the stock unit and I see one person asking about the sound...one post and I think he gave up. It's not that I don't appreciate what's being done, I think it's great but I am sure a lot...

    Gustard U12 USB Interface 8 Core XMOS chip

    I assume you mean the breeze audio xmos u8? If so the the only place I can find it is a Chinese website, Tobaigo and I'm not even sure if it's 110 volt. It's not on eBay yet. Any suggestions?

    Gustard U12 USB Interface 8 Core XMOS chip

    Thanks for the suggestion, i thought about it but I am worried the hub would leave the U12 always powered on an also introduce additional noise. I would rather use th melodious if it works. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    Gustard U12 USB Interface 8 Core XMOS chip

    BTW the reason I am mentioning the Gustard needing the five volts is I believe that the apple camera connector kit will not supply this. I will also be using whatever I choose with my audio server, but it would be real nice to plug in my iPad once in a while as well. I know the max it can output...

    Gustard U12 USB Interface 8 Core XMOS chip

    Hello guys, I have been following this forum for a while now with great interest. Amazing what some of you are doing in taking something that has been engineered, studying it and then tweaking it to sound much better. I don't have those skills but love to read about your results! I have a...

    Audio-gd Digital Interface

    Curious that I have seen several people mention that the DI improves sound from CD players and the like, yet there is no evidence on Kingwas site that it is made for that, it does not do any reclocking or up sampling on any of the inputs. Seems to me the only reason to purchase this would be...

    New Audio-gd DAC-19 [10th Anniversary Edition]

    (but the myth that tube amps are inherently better than SS died a long time ago) Funny, I never heard a thing about that..in fact Tube amplifiers are making quite a comeback these days. La Audio, Yaqin, Ming Da and Jolida to name a few Chinese lower priced tube amps. Then of course you have...

    Reply to review by 'genpattonjames' on item 'MHDT labs havana'

    Thanks for the review! I couldn't agree more and I am glad someone took the time to put up a review. I have the Havana Balanced version, using balanced outputs. I have had more than a couple friends come over and bring their super Up-sampling and over sampling DAC's only to leave puzzled as to...

    BUMP.............   ..Any answers...   I am seriously considering the Woo WA6-SE from reading the forums but it would be "nice" to get some feedback from some of the other members?

    Suggestion and Autosuggestion in the Assessment of Audio Products

    There is quite a bit of evidence to support Patrick on what he has said. A quick search on Google expands on what he has said quite a bit.Although if I paid eight hundred bucks or for that matter fifteen hundred bucks on a set of of headphone cables I would be very adamant that they sounded much...

    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    How about this: I have a pair of Hitachi HMA-7500 Mosfet Amps I use to power my subs in my home theater system and on a lark one day over Christmas I took one of the amps, plugged it into the output of my DAC and plugged in my audeze LCD-2 headphones into the headphone out of one of those...

    First post...and have some questions regarding headphone amplifiers.

    Hello everyone, here is what I have so far in my system: Sources: Sony X777ES CD player. Logtech Squeezebox v 3 Ipod Classic loaded with lossless songs, fed into a Wadia, then into a Monarchy Audio DIP classic. I find myself listening to the Ipod most times as it is convenient and...

    Battle Of The Flagships (58 Headphones Compared)

    Now that is a very interesting graph. Notice the close to 5 db spread between the older series and the new model around 9 to 10k. That's quite significant! Quote:

    Battle Of The Flagships (58 Headphones Compared)

    Quote: I work in the Electronics industry and its quite common to find revisions of a product, you just don't get told about it. I will bet that other manufacturers of headphones do similar things but no one is told. Although Audeze made some pretty major revisions, I will give you that.

    Hi David,   Thanks for your comments and please don't get the wrong impression. You must have put an incredible amount of work into your review and it is appreciated by everyone including me. I look forward to an update if you get a new set of Audeze LCD-2's. Thanks again for all your efforts.

    Battle Of The Flagships (58 Headphones Compared)

    I appreciate your review and your comments. However one thing bothers me. You seem to be very obtuse regarding Audeze. I am neither a fan boy of them nor wish to promote them. But after reading for the second or third time in your comments that your tired of the revisions I seem to be thrust...

    Battle Of The Flagships (58 Headphones Compared)

    My comments still stand, there are huge differences in tonal quality between v 1 and v 2. Many of his comments about it being a "Dark" headphone would be meaningless with the latest revision of the headphone. And I would rather have a manufacturer revise and update a headphone like Audeze rather...

    Battle Of The Flagships (58 Headphones Compared)

    Wonder why Audeze LCD-2 v 1 was used for the comparison when there is v 3 out now? I just purchased the updated version before Christmas and a friend has the first version. When we compared the two there were clear differences between them both in construction and sound.
