    Yamaha EPH-100

    Could someone with the eph-100/gr-07 and the Monster Copper provide a comparison in terms of soundstage, separation, and isolation? Or anything you can think of?   I own the Coppers currently, and they are fairly bass heavy, I'm contemplating whether it's worth it to get the eph-100, or...

    Should I look for an amp with (optical) S/PDIF inputs?

    Wouldn't a USB out also suits you? I'm using the Nuforce uDAC, computer->USB->DAC, then straight to the uDAC's built-in headphone plug or to your amp.

    Any idea on the left channel cutting out Jason? I think another user has reported a similar problem too.

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Nuforce uDAC USB DAC AMP with line out and S/PDIF out

    I'm running mine with a set of KRK Rokit speakers, they sound good to me except I get the odd pop sounds every few minutes. And my left channel cuts out once in a while, and I have to unplug/re-plug the USB cable to make it work again.

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Nuforce uDAC USB DAC AMP with line out and S/PDIF out

    I'm having a problem with my uDAC, the left channel cuts out from time to time, and I need to unplug then plug it back in to make it work again. This worries me a bit. Anyone else experiencing this?

    So you know what I'm talking about then eh Do you mean that you have problems as well when connecting the uDAC to an amp? When I hook the uDAC up with my receiver, everything sounds fine, also the headphone out is very quiet as well. Only when I connect the uDAC to my amp, the hums...

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Nuforce uDAC USB DAC AMP with line out and S/PDIF out

    Has anyone tried to connect the uDAC's RCA out to an amp? I have mine hooked up and I'm getting pretty bad hum/noise. It doesn't do this when I use optical out to a receiver then the amp. I'm suspecting it's USB noise from my computer, but does anybody else have a similar experience?

    SRH840 impression

    Question: Is anyone else's headband's adjustment thing really loose? Every time I take mine off, I have to re-adjust to put back on.

    uDAC+SRH840 sounds very good to me, the SRH840 is very comfortable and the pads are really soft. I can't wait to see what the HDP can do.

    Online Hi-FI stores in Canada?

    axemusic.com is another place. The prices we pay in Canada is a joke. OIC, you need to plug both monitors in. Having separate amps in each monitor is better than one amp in the master for a lot of good reasons.

    I'm feeding it to a Nakamichi AV-8 receiver. No problem when I connect my PS3's optical out to the receiver. Any of you guys heard of it? I always wanted to know if they are any good, but there aren't a lot of info about them.

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Nuforce uDAC USB DAC AMP with line out and S/PDIF out

    Is anyone using the RCA out on the uDAC? When I turn the volume knob past around 3 o'clock, it distorts my speakers pretty badly. Before 3 o'clock, everything is fine.

    SRH840 impression

    I just got my pair today, they sound wonderful. I'm just connecting it to my uDAC's headphone out and it gets plenty loud. I also heard beats that I wasn't able to hear before on my Philips HP910 and ATH-ES7.

    Which computer USB sound card?

    I just went from onboard AC97 to a NuForce uDAC and it's a very nice upgrade for $99. Search for the thread, it's a good read.

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Nuforce uDAC USB DAC AMP with line out and S/PDIF out

    Just got mine today. The unit itself is small and sturdy. One problem is the knob isn't parallel to the front face plate, so sometimes it rubs against the front face plate when adjusting volume. Sound wise it is definitely better than my onboard card.
