Looks like I was able to stop the clicking, I had the latency on the cambridge audio asio set too low..fantastic now.

Thanks, it is very revealing. What mullards would you recommend?

I was wondering if there was a frequency I could cut in foobar to take away the hard highs. I don't use the eq but was wondering if this would help before I get some new tube?

They are Tung-sol 6AH6, Its been a constant problem for me, I seem to have a sensitivity to harsh top ends. One thing I have noticed since I put the muse02 in is every now and then, I hear a click/pop, not overly loud and not all the time...strange. I may give your tubes a try, i'll look on ebay...

A2107, and the muse02 seems louder. I now have the volume at about 3 whereas before it was 4-5. don't know if that's making a difference?

Just popped in a muse02 and was quite surprised at the difference. Vocals are a bit hard but I am hoping that will change (don't know if op-amps need burning in). definitely more detail and the bass is superb, makes my Q701's sound warm and deep. I feel like the soundstage has narrowed a bit but...

With others saying there are fake muses 02 out there, would anyone know if this is legit?   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B086ZTQ?colid=2ZO3U2NKSKWCV&coliid=I34INO5GJERP9&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl

I have just ordered a Muses02 to see if I can squeeze just a little more bass out of my little dot & Q701. I was wondering if anybody would like to share their top 5 albums that they use as a reference to test any tube rolling or op amp rolling. I have 5 that are my go to cd's that tell me if...

Thanks, I'm currently taking a look at the Phillips and they look promising. I am also looking at the MUSES02 op amp that may help. I'm not a big fan of "rolling", just not my thing but I may give the op amp a try and if that doesn't work, i may order the phillips.   Thanks again

So here is what I have:   AKG Q701 with the bass mod CAmbridge Audio DacMagic 100 CD player with optical out Little Dot 1+   When I am playing jazz, easy listening or especially classical, I absolutely love the sound. Its warm, spacious and the bass is clean and extended. I know some...

Bass mod only....and its just getting better

I had a CD player going straight in, not bad but had read how the dac in most CD players where the weak point so I have gone PC based (currently ripping 600+ CD...phew)

Just got a Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 to go with my little dot 1+ and modded Q701's....good lord what a fantastic sound to my ears, loads of detail and my Q701's have never sounded so good. 3.5 hours of listening and still great (I need to go to bed). Modding the q701 was the best thing I did...

I have been out of the forums for a while as I was mostly frustrated that I couldn't get the sound that I wanted (even with all the help from the forum) people here are so knowledgeable and they have helped me tremendously but with low funds I just gave up.   It was my 49th birthday last...

Thanks anyway, just read some reviews on the CD player and it seems to have a lot of mechanical problems so I will probably stick with their DAC

I do agree, I posted this in the components forum but would like some input from this forum if it ok. So I am looking into the Cambridge Audio Azur DacMagic 100 but for an extra $50 I could buy their Topaz CD10 CD Player. I will be using CD's exclusively so would it be a better deal to get the...

So I am looking into the Cambridge Audio Azur DacMagic 100 but for an extra $50 I could buy their Topaz CD10 CD Player. I will be using CD's exclusively so would it be a better deal to get the CD player which seems to have a good DAC in it or buy the Azur DacMagic 100 and pick up a cheap CD...

I feel the same way, now I have to find a dac that I like

Getting ready to buy a DAC for the first time, I will be using a Little Dot 1+ a pair of modded Q701. I have $300-$400 and have found 2 That look interesting and was wondering on any comments.   Thanks   DacMagic 100   Musical Fidelity V90   Any other suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks, I did look into that. I was wondering if I can pick up any cheap CD player as long as its got a digital output to feed whatever DAC I choose to buy. How important is the CD player if I am only using the transport side of it?

Thanks, I'll take a look. I am looking into this Musical Fidelity - V90-DAC

I have a few CD players I am interested in and was wondering what everyone thinks, or should I post this in a CD forum   Azur 351C NAD C 516BEE

With the great advice from the people in this thread, it looks like my front end may be the biggest problem so my new question is.....new, higher quality CD player (about $500) or a transport & DAC?  My head is spinning from the selections so any advice on where to start would be great. I can...

Thanks for your reply, its nice to hear someone with the same affinity for the Q701 and I have to agree, the knowledge and suggestions have helped me tremendously. I love my LD1+ but not married to it like my Q's and have read some great things about the Woo WA6 but I now will be looking into...
