    BDA vs. BUDA

    The BUDA will sound the same with balanced or single ended inputs (through the phase splitter).  The nice thing about your Ultra Micro DAC is that it is essentially a Max DAC. Not only will the modules be better in the BUDA than the older Balanced Desktop, but your Ultra Micro DAC is a better...

    Bithead With iPad2?

    The iPad one and iPad two will most likely display this message "The attached accessory uses too much power." You will need to pause the music, and turn the Bithead on before you plug it into the USB connection. Then it will not be asking the iPad for power. Once you have plugged it in you can...

    Good match for Grados? (And another Astrodyne question).

    Any of our DAC products do indeed output a line level signal and will be perfectly compatible with any receiver/aux or preamp input.

    K601 Graph

    Recently, the graphs were reformatted, and there may have been a couple that were overlooked since the products were discontinued.  I will look into getting the 601 graph back up on the site.  Thanks for the heads-up.

    Using the Destktop as a standalone DAC

    The intended use of the preamp output on any of our amps is to drive a power amplifier. Whether the power amp is built into powered speakers or a separate amp driving passive speakers. The headphone amp itself is functioning as the preamplifier. In essence, the preamp out is very similar to the...
