    Human Audio Tabla USB-SPDIF converter

    I have found this interesting interface, it's from Hungary and, apparently is a high end implementation of the M2tech algorithm (just like the Offramp and some others). Has anyone some first hand experience with it?   On a side note, given so many manufacturers are adopting the M2tech...

    Smyth Realizer and Qualia 010?

    I am wondering, has anyone tried the Realizer with Sony Qualia? The Qualia are often said to have slightly bright midrange, and need to be adjusted to the head size of a person in order to sound best. Given the Realizer, on some extent, can also work as a 'natural' equalizer, couldn't the...

    Acoustic Revive USB1.0-SP: how expensive is a USB cable allowed to cost?

    A friend of mine, after researching, decided to buy an Acoustic Revive USB1.0SP for his AMR DP-777 hiend dac. The cable cost him the equivalent in Euros of 800 dollars. It's a twin cable (two usb inputs, one for power, the other for signal), like several others. I have read about it at Positive...

    Di Marzio rca cables: anyone else tried them?

    I have been always liking to experiment with cables (both analogue and digital). I tried Moray James cables, VH Audio, Headphile, and other stuff. Moray analogue cables are among the most detailed, albeit a bit edgy. VH Audio, although quite expensive and very fragile, are very rich sounding and...

    ART Legato and BNC to RCA: impedance matching-related question

    I have just purchased an ART Legato, to go with my newly purchased Museatex dac (DA44). The DA44 only takes RCA input. The ART comes from the manufacturer's bnc cable, and a bnc to rca adapter. Regardless, I would want the chance to use a Moray James digital between the two devices (Legato...

    Korg MR-2: how many owners?

    I was talking with KG lately, and among the other subjects, he mentioned me the Korg MR2 portable recorder/player, saying it has killer sound quality, at least with high resolution music.

    My new Baby: Museatex DA/44

    I sometime mentioned a DAC I was loving a few years ago, a Museatex Bitstream with John Wright upgrades and blackgates. That was my first high end digital source; up to today, its analogue sound has still remained unique, for me... and I stupidly sold the unit to a fellow Russian headfier. Well...

    Review: April Eximus DP-1

    MSB Analog DAC? (Review p3)

    I have been pointed to this DAC by a fellow head-fi'er (jimndre): http://www.msbtech.com/products/analogDacDetail.php   It's in the "would love to try, can't have" price bracket, but I can't help being curious. Anyway, compared to the other top MSB models, if you sum up what's offered, it...

    I am having a problem with my Etymotic: one driver (the right one) sounds at much much lower volume than the other one. What should I do (other than sending them back for warranty)? I have now removed the filter on the right driver completely, so to rule out that possibility, but it's still...
