Android phones and USB DACs
My experience with HibyMusic's developers has been nothing short of phenomenal. They quickly worked to get the app up and running with the DragonFly and recently added hardware volume support. I'm using a OnePlus One under CM 11 S, which is supposed to support native USB audio, but it won't...- cheul

Anyone managed to have the Dragonfly 1.2 work with HibyMusic ? I get a constant I/O Error, though the DAC is recognized by the app.- cheul

Mindprint TRIO USB audio interface as DAC/Amp ?
Hi, Has anyone had any experience with the T.R.I.O. USB audio interface made by Mindprint, which sports 2 headphones amps, using it as a headphone DAC/Amp ? It has plenty of gain, but I suspect it is lacking in frequency response, as I'm getting a constricted sound (as opposed to...- cheul

NEW! Focusrite Forte USB DAC Interface for Mac & Windows - Apogee Duet 2 alternative?
Quote: Thanks, however TC interfaces are Firewire based so it's a no-no for lots of musicians using laptops because of latency issues. It's hard to find people comparing headphone outputs between interfaces of the same category. The Fireface 800 is known to have a higher gain on its...- cheul

NEW! Focusrite Forte USB DAC Interface for Mac & Windows - Apogee Duet 2 alternative?
Quote: Yes sorry about that, it does sport headphone amps. I indeed read from a RME representative one the dedicated forum that there is indeed a hardware limitation due to USB powered operations (+/- 5V) as compared with higher end units (+/- 15 V) - I guess they mean units such as...- cheul

NEW! Focusrite Forte USB DAC Interface for Mac & Windows - Apogee Duet 2 alternative?
I gave up the idea of buying the Babyface because of the lack of a built in headphone amp (digital volume control instead) and the weak headphone output. Does the Forte sport a decent headphone amp ? Is the headphone output powerful enough to be able to drive most headphones (let's say up to...- cheul

Flat response for less than $100?
Since the Brainwavz HM5 were cited, there's also the cheaper alternative, Studiospares M1000, which share the same OEM design it seems. Problem is : do they have the same FR curve ? Even then I don't know if they're available at your place.- cheul

Flat response for less than $100?
And why no suggestion about modding the Fostex T50RP to a BMF DBV #3 ? It seems to be an affordable mod of a model with a stock price around 100 $. Some users seem to report them as being in the same ballpark as the Paradox mod neutrality wise, only a touch more coloured. I am still...- cheul
