FIXED IT SEE EDIT*** When making a dac to amp interconnect from TRRS to L+R 3 pin XLR I ran into a ground issue. The TRRS DAC side of the cable doesnt have anything to connect to the XLR ground pin. The issue is the dac and source on the TRRS side use switching power supplies (ungrounded 2...

So I’m back again. I have made a few headphone cables and interconnects in the past and posted to this thread. Nothing special, but hey i was proud of them. Figured I’d share some of the simple stuff I’ve been up to since then. First two are a bit boring but the 3rd one was a bit more...

I’d love to see what you come up with. What were you thinking for the base? I wanted to do an ornate wood base with a metal pole for a long time, but decided I liked the look of granite with wood more with the skull. I might make more in the future. But I will say it’s a heavy beast lol.

So, I made 2 different headphone stands. The first one with the Skull was basically an idea I’ve wanted to do forever, but never had the time to do until recently. The base is a pretty large slab of granite with a wooden dowel secured through it.The skull is a realistic resin replica I intended...

My first nice DIY cables I’ve ever made. Had a good bit of practice on “form over function” cables, but wanted to step it up. I made a 3.5mm interconnect, Balanced Oppo PM3, and MrSpeakers Aeon Cables using Cardas 4 conductor, Cardas quad eutectic solder, Paracord sleeve, and Neutrik connectors...

I own both currently. I have an Asgard 2, ODAC, Foobar, and use FLAC files for critical listening, but 320kb mp3 for most of my regular listening. Nothing special for for my interconnects and power: Pyst RCAs, Monoprice gold plated USB, Gold plated silver 1/4 to 3.5 converter, stock headphone...

Running it with the Asgard 2 and so far i'm loving it. I have only listened to it for a few hours, but i do hear a bit more detail that is noticeable. i have yet to do an A-B comparison of my computer's DAC vs The ODAC, I am glad i went for the ODAC because i can tell it gives my music more body...

Alright Thanks guys, i now am the proud new owner of an ODAC and a set of PYST RCA's 

Am i the only one who has any love for Brandon Flowers' album "Flamingo"? I felt it was underrated and overlooked. i love The Killers and i felt like Brandon's solo album was lyrically deep, complex, and instrumentally very well layered. I feel like I am in the environment of each song.  Any one...

Okay, that's what I thought. Ill research some more, Thanks guys :) One last question, I already ordered my ODAC and I went ahead and purchased the JDS labs with RCAs but does anyone know which would be better to use? RCA to RCA or 3.5mm to RCA because I have to buy cables anyway.

Alright, thanks for the input! Before I decide to buy the ODAC with the mini USB, can I use the 3.5 mm to mini USB cable so I can use it with my portable music players or is that pointless?

I purchased the HE-400s over the summer and an Asgard 2 last week. All I have left to do now is get a DAC. I am looking at the ODAC with the RCA outputs and also the modi, but I'm not set on either. Any suggestions for the sub $200 range?i prefer one with USB capabilities but I also use my phone...

Yikes idk if I can afford the Uber as much as I'd love it. Have you posted a review of it? Really interested to know what you think. Might make me hold off on the DAC purchase to save some more.

Hey guys! Asgard 2 came in today and everything is working great. I am not very experienced in the review area, but I am recording my initial out of the box impressions. After I have broken it in for around 100 hours I will compare my initial impression to how it sound then. I will give this...

Alright thanks guys, I'm so excited! Buying my Asgard 2 today and will have the ODAC by Christmas!
