Im also interested in the comparison between an o2+odac vs the c5d

Considering looking at a c5d as a portable dac/amp combo. But based on what I've managed to read from this thread, most of you are c5 owners and generally people have not noticed too much change going from source to source with the c5d. Any of you c5d owners can comment on the built in dac vs...

Twisted Pear Opus?

ive been digging around looking for an answer and skimming this thread... but cant come to a definite conclusion to the answer to wither the Buffalo can be be hooked up directly from the base buffalo board to the output without the use of a ivy/ballise? if it could would i need output caps like...

im still debating over spdif or usb.... but im leaning towards coaxial, the Spdif transceiver board should be able to handle that duty right? And the 15VA transformer is the proper transformer to use? will i need a switch for 115v or 230v?

Yeah the SPDIF module im thinking of runs off of the wolfson chip. So all i will need without a ballsie or a zapfilter (for now) are caps? any reccomendations?

What is congee? i know it more as "chook" if they are the same thing... but thats probably because all my relatives are cantonese

I figure ill threadjack instead of making a new thread. Lets say i buy a kit (LCDPS, DAC module, and SPDIF board), all i need is wiring, a case, and the appropriate jacks? I assume ill need a 15A transformer that twisted pear sells. And that should be it to get it running on the ground?

im pretty sure youll need a power amp if you want to run the little dot on speakers, unless they are really low resistance speakers. im curious about the little dot vs millet hybird though

Really? No one?

Whoops will someone move me to IEM's?

SO i did it finally, my fingers are raw and gritty, ive got boogers made of soder in my nose. But the shure e4's have been... RECABLED! So basically you dissasemble the earpeice including the small rubber washer and the metal "spacer/hold" ring, get a small screwdriver and where a crack is...

Can anyone comment of the differences between a lightly modded Zahalou vs a stock Twisted Pear Opus? And I assume that the opus will have more headroom for modding and additons in the future due to the modular nature of its boards? Currently running HD600's through a Sansui SS amp. Looking...
