I am very happy for all the replies, although i am not very surprised! Vinyl against Cd has always been a heated debate!   I was going through these videos on Youtube and came across this one, which was the reason i started the thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eC6L3_k_48   I would...

Hey folks As I've noticed, everyone is into finding the best equipment to make their audio sound the best it possibly can.   However, our audio collections are built on Cd. As i have found out, CD sampling cuts off above the 22 kHrtz frequency, since the human ear can only hear under this...

What about sony mhc gx 99; it can be plugged into your computer? it has 530watts

Hachi, is it working again? or was it returned to the store?

did you ever get the iBasso? How long did you wait?

i would be interested in hearing if the situation was resolved since i am looking at the same model. Maybe with burn-in the hiss went away... ???????????????

man this forum is really weak on replies...

Can the iBasso Boa be used to listen to FLACs from the computer using the USB connection and not the audi-in on the lapotopo?

Sanke1: any improvements since last summer with your iBasso Boa? Never heard from you after you had broken it in for two days...

4th post!! I think i am gonna order the iBasso D2 Boa. Use it when i listen to my headphones, which should make a difference, and hopefully, should also work for the sony's Any reasons not to? Actually, one question: can i now circumvent using the audio card on the motherboard by using the...

oh boy-tough crowd... i wrote the same kind of post back in 2008 and got just as many replies-zero. Any help would be appreicated. I am thinking either the iBasso D2 or keces DA-151 DAC. I dont know if people are not feeling the Sony system as not a proper amp... ???

An extra note, the sony, apart from the audio-in jack, also has an audio-out for the phones. I use senn's hd 477, nothing too special. UPDATE: Just remembered the KECES DA-151 USB DAC. I just bought a cable which has RCA on one end and 1/8 inch female. (I have an extra 2.1 desktop speaker i...

Hi all i bought Sony's mhc-gx99 for their 530 watts, which were on a sale & i simply could not pass this up. Also, they have an audio-in jack on the front, which i have used with a cable to connect to the audio card on my laptop. At the time (this was last year) this seemed to be a good idea...

Hum... i am running many m4a files in my foobar app v 0.9.9.5 without any problems at all. However, it won't play some new songs i got in m4a... I did not try renaming and apparently, that was a good thing! (i hate renaming files) iTunes is a definite no for me. i used it once and absolutely...

Hi all Anyone car to give me a hand converting m4a files to wav? I tried to use DbPower amp and it won't recognize any of the m4a files on the computer to be converted into WAV. Help or suggestions would be well appreciated Cheers

no updates required. its a ****ty realtek

you know what? i hear the echo over youtube... it has to be the sound card.

the echoing is back again. The settings in Preferences > Advanced > Playback > Fading have returned to 100. I didn't change my version of foobar2k, so that is weird. Bad monkey, the echo was still there when the volume was turned low. And when i skip songs, it does the echo, but also, the...

Although quality wise hearing, FLAC and WAV are the same, because FLAC is a good compressor. However, shouldn't there be a difference in texture (layering or richness) of a song if it's playing at 1000kbps in FLAC and 1400 in WAV? it seems 1400 would sound fuller, or is it beyond the human ear...

stuttering problems no, it wasn't stuttering at all, but really an echo sound, like with using winamp on an auditorium setting. When i brought the settings down for fade, the echoing stopped. My new question has been now asking myself how did they change, or how did the echo appear...

i had this debate with a friend a few years back. i swore i could hear a difference in my favorite album in FLAC and WAV. I finally lost the argument, not because i admitted the results i heard were wrong, but because for lack of hard drive room and FLACed all my files.

bad monkey Went and took the three fading setting from 100 microseconds to 10. There is no longer an echo! My buffer length is at (the recommended) 1 sec (1000 microseconds). My sound card is nothing to write home about, but should i change this setting also? The card is integrated into...

I just noticed for the 1st time an echo when i hit the next button in foobar or move the song along using the cursor. It sounds almost an equalizer is switched onto the Auditorium or Cathedral-sound setting, all except that inside foobar this setting is off. It isn't the headphones either...

Mardis v3.0 Tripath Amp So that little thing is powering your Tektons? Wow!! i have the speakers, i have the amplifier, which has female 1/8 plug. i need to find a dac to bridge between the amp and pc, since i want to avoid using the on-board audio card. my setup...

Sounds like i was lucky! The external HD was turned off, so that is good news, and it seems to be fine since most sectors of my music are playing fine. way back when i was backing **** onto plastic DVD, i am not exactly positive on the brand, the plastic on the dvd was cracking off! it...
