I just popped in the thread to say that my E1 Muses is now giving off a burning smell. I have narrowed it down to the headphone amp, as when I pull out my headphones the tip of the jack gives off quite a strong burned smell. The audio also seems to be crackling in and out on some occasions...

Hey Sk1n5, Thanks very much for the tip! I keep getting occasional BSODs and I can tell it's due to foobar and ASIO :( . Just yesterday I got a corrupted foobar theme file after the BSOD. Had to remake my layout and theme out of nothing (I think I got most of it right, but what a headache; it...

I would have to disagree on that :P . Volume depends on the source. Yes it can drive 600 ohms easily and most modern music will be blaring at 80% (the fun kind of blaring, not the ear splitting "JesusChristIhavetoturnthisdownori'llgodeafholyheck" kind of blaring) but I have a few oldies with...

I completely agree. It's moronic to have a 1000 dollar product exhibit such ground level faults like this. It's inexcusable and I would not have bought it had I known of this beforehand. But seeing as I am stuck with it, I still enjoy it very much with my T1's and Audioengine speakers.

Hi derbigpr. It shouldn't, but it does. I have one and it's hard to use low impedance headphones with the unit as you need to bring the volume dial up past 9 o' clock or so to get rid of the imbalance. Also, I can swear the issue was more prevalent on the first couple of weeks after I got it...

OK, I set the foobar buffer length to around 6000ms (anything higher and the spectrum visualization was reduced to 10fps) and messed around with ASIO control panel. There is a bit depth option there. It was set to 16bits. I set it to 24/32. The delay and crackle/pops when switching songs or...

After installing the wasapi component, I get 2 options in foobar output options: either wasapi (event) or wasapi (push) . I have no idea what to pick and since I don't want to break anything, I thought I'd ask here first. EDIT: yeah, the bit-perfect feature does not work when selectin wasapi. E1...

Swolern, if you select ASIO: E1 as your output device then you are already running bit-perfect. Since you said you were running foobar with ASIO, then you must have the bit-perfect feature up and running. I have no problems running foobar with Direct Sound through the windows mixer. The problem...

Thanks for the reply TJ Max. Yes, exclusive mode enabled. I use the regular ASIO driver. Is ASIO4ALL the same? I've heard of it and read that it can help some issues where regular ASIO driver is causing problems. I've also read sound quality is inferior with ASIO4ALL. Is it not a user-made ASIO...

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but does the E1 support wasapi output? I've been using foobar with ASIO but I get frequent BSODs with "irql_not_less_or_equal" messages. Furthermore, audible pops when starting or stopping a song and a clear delay (1 second) when moving the song...

  I see no reason why it should be better. Still, I was under the impression that the muses had a gaing switch at the back for lower impedance headphones (like my AD700x's). Apparently not so really I could have made the upgrade myself, I guess. No big deal. It's here now and sounding stellar.

  True enough. I live in Portugal and could not find the muses anywhere. It was on sale through amazon.uk for a while and I was eyeballing it for a couple of months but never did make the decision to get it (partly because of financial capability, partly because of uncertainty) but once...

Great point, Anarion. I also didn't know I could check db by right clicking. Thank you.

I can only imagine. Although I'm not the biggest fan of Pink Floyd, David Gilmour solo stuff is exceptionally well produced and I enjoy it very much. I will look up the DVD you mentioned, although I don't have a nice surround setup and doubt I will anytime soon. Not a lot of room to acommodate it.

Hi Swolern, Yes, I am on the same boat. Blown away at how good this combination of mine sounds :) . Very glad you are enjoying your HD800 and E1. I was on the fence between the T1s and those but since I'm european and most of my online purchases are made through amazon.uk, these were just...
