I stated nothing that violates this forum. I just wanted to share my experiences. Everyone is entitled to an opinion I understand that. How do I delete this post?

Furthermore, wouldn't it be easier to modify a short headphone extension cable and then insert a potentiometer in the middle.

I thought potentiometers had a high, low, and wiper. The Alps RK0971221z05 which is used on the mini3 has the middle as wiper and the ends as either hi and lo, I believe. Anyway, I measured the resistance between the middle and each of the ends before and after I turned the knob and I...

The new Aura phone sounds interesting to hear about from someone who might have access to it. For those of you who feel like you have everything gadget world can offer, I would say to you not yet. I guess MP3 is supported...

If I'm not mistaken equalizing basically filters the source signal to add gain or attenuation at certain frequency bands. In theory there is no way of keeping the source in pristine condition while performing filtering. So there is some trade offs. I don't have specifics unfortunately but I...

Something to think about for future product iterations. I suspect that with push button volume control the E5 may be using digital potentiometer. This implementation should allow for remote access to the volume control. I'm surprised that not more portable amps use digital potentiometers...

I too noticed that E5 is cleaner than E3, while E3 seems to have a little more bass. From physical stand point the E5 feels more substantial because of the metal finish and extra weight. Because of form factor, I like E3 with my Gen 1 iPOD shuffle, but I like the E5 with all other sources...

My E5 arrived today from DealExtreme. I'm charging the unit as I type. I hope this is as good as the E3.

When DAPs are used with a portable amp or even a size-able amp, how much does the DAPs internal amp color the audio signal? I suspect very little because the DAPs internal amp is not doing hardly any work or putting out much watts of power. Therefore the distortion or signal coloring should be...

I was listening to some older music and I noticed something interesting. In the old days, music studios recorded music some what live with people performing on their instruments at specific position or location in the studio. Hence the phase or the arrival of the signals of the different...

Wait, I just got something in the mail today 11-16-08. Its a new pair of PL-30 which looks like brand new. Focalprice sent me a new unit. I guess I have to due diligence and give this PL-30 a thorough look over. Its really weird how something of this nature plays tricks on your emotions.

In another perspective, this is the kind of thing intelligence community (uncle sam) would like to use to help in their efforts.

I believe iphone has an application that tracks friends location and activities. Furthermore I believe that telecom companies have been pushing a similar technology where social networks can keep tabs on or with each other. This is disturbing to me because something like this is what people...

So far I found the DS1802 to be most flexible. DS1802 is already stereo with balancing built in and logarithmic. Below is the matching set of decoder and digital potentiometers. For LS7083: DS1802 (log) AD5228 (single) X9571 (single) For LS7084: X9C303 (log)(single) As for the...

Thanks for the inputs. I did not find that info in the DS1802 spec sheet the first time around. I'll have to check again. I did think about the logic circuit that will be needed to interface rotary encoders to push button type digital potentiometers. I have here the theory: c: old value A...
