Maybe I am in the wrong forum and I apologize if it is the case... My problem is the following : I have one DAC with only one XLR output but I have 3 amps (for 3 differents headphones). Until very recentlyI had only two balanced amp and I was using a Y splitter XLR cable connected to the only...

Hi, I need a new longer USB cable to connect my computer to my Dac. Are there any differences between cable or can I go with a cheap one ? Will 16ft be too long ? Thanks Pierre

I got the CEC CD3300 yesterday and the Stax today during lunch time!! Here is a picture of my new rig : I had not much time to listen to them but I already like the sound. I found them much more heavy than the SR-404!! I am a happy camper

My personal journey in this wonderful world of headphones and audio gear started exactly when I registered on this forum back in april 2007. Before that I was the proud owner of a SanDisk (256 Mo) and a pair of "Air Transat" headphone... (yes, you read it right... Air Transat headphone!). But...

I want to change my source (or transport). I will use it like this : CD player --> coax cable --> CEC DA53 --> XLR cables --> SRS-4040 (and soon Omega II) At this time, my budget is limited (the Omega did a big hole in my wallet) so don't tell me that Arcam, Linn or Krell is much better...

Hi, I have received a price quotation from Koji at EIFL for Omega II at $1500 shipping included. What do you think of that price ? Good enough or should I search more ? For those of you who have ordered from him, what was your experience with custom duties (specially if you are in Canada)...

Any danger of running a 100v unit on 110v ? I realyzed that my unit have a small sticker on the voltage that says 115v but the "real" voltage is 100V. The unit works pefectly but I am just wondering what might happen. Let me know, thanks Pierre

Hi, I just received a used SRS-4040 system today and I am already thinking about upgrading the headphone for the Omega II. Well, you know how it is... I just have the budget to buy the SR-007 but not a new amp. So, the SR-007 will be connected to the SRM-006t. Will that be a good combo ...

Maybe it is a dumb question, but I am going to ask it anyway... If my setup looks like that : Oppo 970 >> spdif >> DAC (lets say CEC DA53) >> (whatever comes after...) Is it the DAC or the CD player that gives the sonic flavor to this setup ? If it's the DAC, I guess that changing...

I am still a bit confused about how to make balanced system... If my setup was something like that, would it be balanced ? PC >> CEC DA53 >> Stax 4040 This is the back of the CEC DA53 : And this is the back of the Stax amp : Both with XLR connection... But would my PC...

I allready posted some questions in the Musiland thread but I guess nobody noticed... Well, here they are again : There is apparently the possibility to turn upsampling on and off on the Musiland. Could someone explain to me how to do that ? (My Musiland MD10 came without any manual)...

Hi, Just suppose that you have those 3 pairs of headphones and can only keep two of them. What would be your choice and why ? 1) Stax SR-202 2) HD600 3) DT990 Let me know, Thanks Pierre

I am the kind of guy that didn't find a LOT of differences between SR60 and SR225... Would I experience the same going from HD600 with stock cables to HD600 with custom cables ? What do you think ? Pierre

Hi, How do you connect a CDP to the Musiland ??? I have two different CDP and I cannot find how to do it . One is a PCDP (Sony D11) with a line out. I tried to connect it to the DAC with a mini to mini cable with a RCA adaptor on one end of the cable but nothing is coming out... I have...

In the last 2 month I have bought a lot of new stuff … Well, almost everything that is listed in my signature IS new stuff !! So far, here is my personal ranking between the different headphones (coupled with my different amps) that I have : With the Xenos 1HA-EPC : Shure E500 >...

Oups, wrong forum... I put it here : http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showth...50#post3018550

ok, that will sound stupid but here it is... Here is what I have : ZVM, Window Media Player, a lot of CD and (soon to come) Shure E500 Here is what I want to do : transfer all my CD to my ZVM with the highest possible sound quality supported by the ZVM... Now the question is : how do I...

I think that I prefer my SR60 to my recently acquired SR225 (and yes, they are completely burned-in)... Am I normal ? Are there others like me around here ? I have my SR60 since a few weeks and the SR225 only since a few days, so do you think that my impression could change with time ...

Hi there, Is 210$ a fair price for a pair of "used but in mint condition" HD600 ? BTW, it is not for a pair for sale on this forum. Thanks Pierre

This could be a stupid question but I still need your help on this one : do I need Itune to load an Ipod with music or can I use another program (like winamp or windows media player) ?? Thanks Pierre

Hi, Both can be found there http://www.pacificvalve.us/DIYEDENGallery.html What are the differences ? Is the SVDAC05 a cheaper version of the Musiland ? Both seems to run with the Cirrus Logic CS4398, so is there any reason for them to sound differently ? Thanks for your help. Pierre

Hi, I was inspired by some pictures of a home stand headphone post by someone on this forum (sorry, I don't remember who, but thanks for the idea anyway). So, here is my attempt with some plumbing tubes. Took me less than 30 minutes to do it. The base is made with a very hard wood...

What would you choose and why ? I want a DAC and I want USB connection... I need help on this one. Thanks Pierre
