    Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...

    A bit of clutter, but I do love my set up for what it is. New speakers will be probably be on my list when I have a better listening space... the acoustics are fairly poor where they stand now.   The Emotiva takes in from either the CD changer or my laptop, and out to the either the DRA-395 or...

    Little Dot I+ Tube Rolling

    I will do some tests when I get home, just to verify, but I will tell you this now - I can eliminate the static & distortion (for less than a second at a time, mind you) simply by playing around with the position of my interconnect cables. The left-channel rca jack spins left or right when I...

    Little Dot I+ Tube Rolling

    The left channel rca jack doesn't stay tight.

    Do Budget HDMI DACs Exist?

    I do not follow hi-fi audio so closely as I used to, but in three weeks both my iPod and DCM-280 have expired... I'm thinking it would be really nice to use the bitstream from my laptop's HDMI port -> DAC -> analog receiver / LDI+. Is this an option without spending many hundred dollars?

    Glasses and headphones, a bad combiniation?

    Quote:   This is what I do with my RS-2's, as I cannot really wear them for more than 1.5 - 2 hours before discomfort sets in.
