I've been looking in to getting a new DAC. So far I'm either leaning towards getting the Headroom Micro DAC or the Pico USB DAC. I'm really stuck in between these two DAC's, they are both suppose to be really good for the price and I just can't decide on either one of them. Any help on making a...

I'm trying to replace the fuse in my DAC.. The fuse in it was a F1AL 250V.. I have a T1,6L 250V at home, will this fuse work? I'm guessing not but I thought I might ask.

My Citypulse DA7.2x just died on me . totally dead, when I try switching it on nothing happens, no power led no sound. This happen to anyone else? Anyone know what it could be?

Hi every one, I've been out of the scene for quite some time now.. So I really have no idea what to look for. Well I'm looking for a good amp within the price range of about $200-300. I'd prefer solid state but Little Dot MK III looks very interesting. Looking for for some advice here, any help...

Anyone have any opinion about this new amp? Looks kind of interesting. http://www.diykits.com.hk/EF3.01.html

Do these cans have a thing with sounding overly bright at times? I'm hoping this will get better with time mine have just been playing for about 30h now. It's really weird because I'm really enjoying the character of these cans but they do sound bit too bright on some tracks which I haven't...

It's really bad! Just compared exact same track coded in 192Kbps to 320Kbps and the difference is ridiculous. I don't even want to listen to my 192Kbps mp3's anymore after hearing the difference... This is a problem though because 99% of my mp3's are coded in 192Kbps .

I can only select the 44.1 and 48KHz values in Session Settings for the E-MU 0404 card. 96 and 192 is grayed out. Does anyone have a clue to why they 96 and 192 values are locked? Also which is better under I/O setting S/PDIF Format... S/PDIF or AES/EBU?

Ever notice how ice cream becomes really hard/stale and really to cold for eating when kept in the fridge to long? So stale that the spoon practically bends when you try to get some. Anyone ever try microwaving it to soften it up a bit?

I've been thinking about this mod for while now, I'm having a hard time deciding if it really is necessary though. It would really help if some people that have heard these in a meet or owns pair would post their impressions. I've been trying to find something good to help me make up my mind...

Just did a comparison on cheap grade and a high quality power cord with my cd3000 and the difference was as clear as night and day... Very surprising. I could even tell the difference on mp3's. I always had a hard time doing this with my hd600, but I always thought there was a slight difference...

I'm looking for a good DAC within $1000.. As far as my knowledge about DAC's goes, it's almost next to none so I really need some good advice here . I have a Xitel Hi-Fi link pro usb DAC atm, but I'm looking for some thing better. Any Suggestions? I've been checking out x-dac v3 from MF.. I...

Anyone else who likes IDM music? Aphex Twin (AFX, Richard D. James) U-Ziq Squarepusher Boards of Canada Global Goon Pliad Just to name a few..

Wee! got my CD3000 to day Very fast delivery from audiocubes, impressive. But one thing that I thought was weird... When I opened the box, there was the headphones, some kind of manual in japanese and a empty crimpled small plastic bag... What? I'm asking myself what this bag is doing there...

I just killed my HD600. Totally *****ed it up . I was trying to remove a dust particle from the driver and when I couldn't blow it out I tried to remove it with a small plastic stick (very bad idea btw). I've done this once before and I was lucky that I didn't ruin the driver back then.. This...

Just noticed that my ipod runs very hot while I transfer music through firewire... So much that it effects the LCD display momentary, making it go a bit darker/dimmer in the corners. But this disappears when the unit cools down. This concerns me though, anyone else notice this, is this normal?

You guys think a total n00b (like myself), with no soldering experience or any thing like that would be able to put together a meta42 mint amp?

I thought they sounded crap, even with my super mini.. So I tried tweaking them a bit by removing the foam, but I ended up killing the right earbud. Nobody told me that the lower part of the earbud was glued, I kind of yanked it bit too much *doh!* .. I'm going to get her a pair of new...

I'm getting a Arcam cd72, I can get a used one for at pretty good price, but it was bought 2001. Would the newer 2003-players have better DAC's or some how just generally be better in some way? This is some thing I feel that I have to get clear before I decide on going for the used one.

I've been looking into buying a new source now for quite some time, but I'm not willing to pay the retail prices of players like Arcam cd72 and Rega Planet. I still want I player in this class range though, so I've made some posts in Swedish forums etc, looking for a high class cdp for a...

Is it really worth it? For amps that already have built in psu's like the PREHEAD.. Would a better power cable really make any difference?

I'm looking into getting a new compact disc source. I've heard Arcam CD62 very briefly and it seemed to be very good at the time.. Although I think this unit is a bit expensive and not really within my budget. How does CD62 compare to lower priced units like Cambridge D500? Are there any...

Hey guys, I just thought I should give you heads up on a good deal... If anyone is still interested in MD. You can get Sharp DR7 for about $180 that's 163 EUR. Link The model name on that unit is MD-DR470H which is the European model name for Sharp DR7. Actually it's a newer model that...

Hey guys, I ordered a gilmore v2 from antess like a month ago, when it was on sale. I got the idea that he had 10 amps that were already built and ready for shipping.. But I guess not since I haven't received mine yet.. I've mailed him twice, first time was 2 weeks ago (I think). But he wont...
