Pathos has come up with a new DAC, are there more informations about it?   It seems like the little brother of the Intransfer Dac which has 4 Burr Brown PCM63 chips. Looks like a nice little DAC fully balanced. Wish anyone heard it.

Looking for a half size front width DAC preamp with audiophile Tone control and both rca and xlr capabilities. Problem is I never found one. May I ask some recommandation?

Hi, i have decided that I need a new pair of headphones. I want to choose between those two headphones. I don't want Ortho for various reasons, the most important being the comfort issue.   I like very much my HD650. I am not against EQ because I found that the balance in many of my records...

Hello there! I need some help to upgrade the capacitor in my La figaro 339. Please correct me as I know next to nothing appart that there are lethal voltage all around.   The 4 little purple caps I think are the "lining" caps (don't know the name), they are 220µF 200V each. The 6 bigger...

Ok I tried to burn in some very noisy EF860 tubes in my 339 amp. When no headphones attach and when I max out the volume on my soure and on the amp I can hear a slight noise like the actual music is ringing inside the tubes! When I tunr the volume down this sound fades away so it's the actual...

Please help me identify if this is a genuine Brimar or a rebranded russian tube with the "saucer getter". I can't find any picture of those "saucer getter". Many thanks         And here is what I believe to be a real Brimar

I saw the svs realiser is getting all the attention, but is there a DSP based that is doing any good while sounding good?

Just saying to everyone out there, searching for the best and cheapest combo out there! So you got no full size headphone and no amp and want to invest in a desktop combo HP+amp setup.   Ok first don't buy a 1000$ pair of headphones. You will regret it because alone it won't do much!  ...
