    New Sound Card/USB DAC (AV-701?)

    Only the alternate output aka Wolfson DAC output is a pure line-out. The others use a cheaper DAC with at least the front output having an amplifier for headphones.

    New Sound Card/USB DAC (AV-701?)

    The lower the impedance, the worse it is for unamped AV710.

    I'm special, I want a MiniDisc in the MP3 era

    Can you take a new picture of the graph? As it is now, it only shows 10000-20000Hz.

    my opinions on the e2c and er6i (mostly on fit/comfort)

    I thought E2C were pretty rugged and wouldn't worry about them. ER6i on the other hand do look a little flimsy, but I haven't had or read about any problems. Taking off the E2C is a bit easier, sometimes with ER6i I can't get a good grip (longer fingernails would help :lol: ) and it takes a...

    Which "earphone" to get?

    You can get E2 and ER6i for much less than $150 if you buy online (check ebay). I find ER6i to be more comfortable than E2 because of my small ear canals (the tube is larger in E2). E2 is a bit lacking in highs and ER6i has somewhat lighter bass, but I think the ER6i has a more balanced...

    DAP mW specs thread

    Power output at 16 ohms may not simply be double of the rating at 32 ohms. It depends on how much current is available.

    How come lossless varies in compression?

    Quote: Originally Posted by trose49 Does that mean if the file is more compressed than the quality of the original is not as good a another file that does not compress as much? No such correlation exists. For instance one could try to losslessly compress white noise and it won't...

    In need of equalizer for my foobar > emu1212m

    You can EQ with the Patchmix application. Click the FX button and under Core Effects you can find equalizer. Then just drag and drop them somewhere on the audio chain (for example to the main insert).

    OMG I totally tell the difference between Lossless and lossy

    DAP mW specs thread

    H100 has almost the same hardware as H300 (same sound chip) so that one is 20mW also.

    MP3 Presets that Equalled FLAC

    Quote: Originally Posted by sgrossklass There should not be any improvement when using the higher LPF setting, not when using Etys at least (they reach like what, 16-17 kHz?). Exactly. Quality may be lower with a higher low pass if bits are wasted on the high frequencies. This is...
