Really nice day outside. Should be there soon. At sakuracon we were using my dacport for the computer audio on the speakers.

The comment on the foobar website is correct. You can get bit perfect music with just direct sound.   ASIO and WASAPI just makes sure you are doing it right.

You probably also want something with really low output impedance for proper damping. 

Count me in! Wasn't able to make it on the first date since I was supposed to staff at an important convention.     

I also got the d7000 recently and I tried them on a few setups at my friends and head fi meets. I've been trying to find some good cheap setups for my cans ever since my DAC fried. So I began my quest to search for a good temporary setup so I can save up money for something like a Burson 160D...

It was my first time going to a head-fi meet but I had a great time during the event. Will definitely go again to another meet when it happens.

Quote: Would you be willing to sell your AD2K headband to me? I've been trying forever to get the part from various places. ATH US say they do not have the part since it is import, and ATH China and Japan will just forward me right back to ATH US. I'm willing to pay some big cash for the...

My friend would also like to attend. His name is COR.    I get off work around 3 so I won't be there until around 4. 

Pretty sure a blendtec would destroy it. Like it would literally turn into dust.

I'm going to see if I can time off work to see if I can make it to the meet. I have never been to a meet for head-fi before, but I'm really excited to test out new headphones and amps.    I currently have these headphones that I can bring:   ATH-AD2000 (headband being repaired by AT...

I just got mine. It's up and running perfectly. I'm really liking the sound so far on my ATH-AD2000. Can't wait til  I can try all of the different opamp combinations.

Sorry I don't have a real camera so I used my phone. It's actually the metal wire that is sticking out, of the plastic swivel thing. Thanks, I'll try to contact audio technica to see how they can help me.  

No one?

My beloved ad2000s bit the dust the other day and one of the metal wires seemed to have broken off. Is there replacements I can get for this or should I try fixing it with superglue? Picture not for the faint of heart. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  

I listened to the DT880, K701, and AD900 from the same source and I have to say the AD900 was my favorite. This led me to purchase the AD2000 which defined bass to another level for me. Not boomy bass but tight, accurate, extremely fast bass. The best part is that they sound amazing unamped as...

I'll try taking it apart but it seems a lot harder to take apart the ad2k. The grills are metal so I can try the isopropanol with lots of caution.

Hey guys, Whats the best way to clean grills on a headphone. I have an ATH-AD2000 that got really dirty from travelling and I'm having a hard time cleaning the crap on the grills. I tried an air duster but it didn't at all. What do you guys do to clean a headphone with grills?

Just got my opa-earth but they forgot to add in the lead extensions (when i specifically told them i wanted them and paid for it) so now I'm left with a zero with a open cover. Hopefully the sound will make up for it.

my d2 viper started to make some unwanted noise recently. I even heard a random radio station play, and it wasnt even plugged in to any source. I also rolled my opamps to LTC6241HV/LMH6622 recently but havent had any problems til now. It makes LOTS of noise when its nor connected to the power...

Aww... When I tried to play 24 bit 96khz music, all i hear is lound staticy music. Anything past 48khz does this. Anyone know of a fix for this? Or could be it possible that my laptop doesn't support spdif out past the sampling rate of 48khz since I never tried before since today.

Wow thanks! When I had stuttering/static/popping noise on my foobar with WASAPI, I totally I needed to increase the buffer. Of course, that failed so I spend hours trying to configure settings on my foobar with no sucess. Now with the buffer set at 250ms I get crystal clear music. It was such a...

Sorry but I have to ask, I tried reading through 675 pages but it was too much. I'm about to order opa-earth and I have no idea how many I need and what "Extension lead of the OPA" is. I'm only using the zero as a DAC at the moment. Also, would I need anything beyond a screw driver to...

I'm loving my zero dac so far. I'm very interested in opamp rolling but I have never done this before. Is it recommended for a complete newbie to try the opamp? Was thinking about getting opa-earth for the dac and the LT1364 for the headphone amp although don't really use it is as an amp very...
