Alternatives to Audiolab M-DAC?
WOW that is one hell of a price compared to here. The DM Source is £800 here which is 2x the M1Dac. I dont know if you got one hell of a bargain or were getting out pants pulled down in the UK haha.- amanp

Alternatives to Audiolab M-DAC?
jimbob54: In the worst case, there is always the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 which uses Wolfson WM8742's yeah, its the implementation as opposed to the chip used but a good chip always helps - Pop into your local Richer Sounds (cant believe I said that for something high end! haha) and have a...- amanp

Alternatives to Audiolab M-DAC?
Hi Bud, Sorry about the late reply. I've been busy and up to no good. New Amp/Dac hehe. A couple of hundred is relative and very hard to answer; I'll try help. Basically the M1 Dac is SUPER dynamic and the highs are reeallyy exciting. They take you to the edge but not quite over it. I...- amanp

Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
Quote: I agree that these are very revealing and the strumming/reverb of the guitar string is highly realistic but I assure you this is not what I'm hearing. In the worst case scenario and I'm tone deaf (pretty sure I aint!), it should not distort and turn to a fuzz that is completely...- amanp

Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
UE have a special place for me. The Metro.Fi.2's were my first real non-stock pair of phones (outside the sony fontopia world)!! I loved them to bits, especially when you pop the filters off. Every product they've produced is at a consistent level of quality (that i've heard including...- amanp

Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
So it snowed about 2cm and all of London came to a stand still so I get to "work" from home . That means we play FarCry 3 and start drinking at 2 as opposed to 4. Hmmm... my new source search resumes with a bit of a push then but I still have this desire to get hold of the SM2/SM3s! ...- amanp

Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
Quote: Hi mate, When I say screeching, I mean the sound you expect to hear a Hi-Fi speaker make when you put the volume too high and your speaker is about to pop, or start "clipping". I'm going to come straight off the bat and admit I aint the greatest with equalising and I don't have...- amanp

Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
I have no idea why you're discussing engine oil, but to add my 2 cents( (and be hypocritical with analogies hehe), I absolutely love the UE 900s. Perhaps the sub bass impact isnt as prominent as I'd like but these are comfortably the best earphone I've owned. I say sub bass ain't that great but...- amanp

are there any fake UE 900?
Maybe it's like mine and the left speaker has a lot "tearing/scratching" on certain frequencies as soon as you go above 50% vol on my cowon. Pi$*es me off! Only thing I hate about these!! I am going to send a furious email to UE. I had the same issue with some UE700s too! Just...- amanp

Alternatives to Audiolab M-DAC?
I just picked up the M1 Dac yesterday - WOW Massive improvement. I am still messing with setting for foobar but it works via USB, optical via 96kbps and upsamples to 192 on USB and optical. coax (need a sound card with an out) so is untested but apparently this is the best (via reviews)...- amanp

Alternatives to Audiolab M-DAC?
Do you mind telling me which had more detail? Also, which had smeared highs? The reason I ask is because the Schiit with the brilliant name and aesthetics is over £100 more and that is excluding the USB connection and shipping. Adding the USB it is £150 more. I can get a brand new...- amanp
