why not buy a good CD player that has a good DAC already inside? If you mainly used CDs then i would go for that :)

Quote: Damn that IS quite a lot ... i'll have to think either buy it or a few CDs, tough choice ;)

hm, interesting, i wonder how much better is it from the V4, since you compared to the V3, guess i'll see how much will i have to pay for it ;)

Yeah sure, how much did you have to pay for the new unit by the way? Thanks :)

do the V4 and V5 boards look different at all? Can someone post shots of those two side-by-side or something?

Quote: Cool - i'm interested how this amp drives the 650s :D

i was actually interested in that A100 amp as well, looking forward to hearing your opinions on it, the insides look quite sturdy too, and i like those indicators hehe ;) what kind of headphone are you going to use with it?

  Quote: Oh wow, i didn't realize it was that simple o.o thanks for the info, i'd better get in touch with audio-gd about this, how much does the new chip cost?

interesting, thanks for the advice guys, and what the heck, never thought there are other revisions of the dsp, how can i tell which one i have? Though mine came with jumpers, and i ordered it some time in august, how hard is it to replace anyway?

  Quote: Thanks :)

where can i get those teralink drivers? I really would like to use xp again ;)

Well i just checked the site and it is in the Preamplifier & Headphone Amplifier section..

  Quote: Yeah you're right, i guess i will wait for the review, however, i was also thinking of a Roc-SA since it seems the regular Roc is discontinued, but my DAC19 is SE, so i'm not quite sure, though it does pump more mW into 300 ohms(hd 650s) and should sound better even in SE...

C-2 SA has no ACSS inputs right? So i'm limited to RCA with my DAC19, i guess i'm gonna go for a C-2 and use ACSS, since i don't want to buy expensive RCA cables ;)

it's a vincent sv-129, got tired of the sound it made and i decided to upgrade it, just replaced the transformer caps with 2 nichicons, it's good :)
