    Cambridge DACMagic, anyone?

    Cambridge DACMagic, anyone?

    Quote: Originally Posted by StanleyB1 I heard that it only has two digital inputs, but the rear of the unit has a multitude of sockets. I wonder if that means that only two types of inputs can be utilized. i.e. one USB and one optical, or one coax and one optical. That would mean that a...

    Beresford 7510 MK 6 Mini Review/comparison

    Quick question... Right now I'm using my receiver's built-in DAC (Denon 2105), mostly listening to a pair of good speakers and sometimes my DT-880. The receiver is fed by 192+ kbps mp3's. Would a TC-7510 make a noticeable difference in this setup?

    Cheap Digital Transport options?

    Asio4all works for my on-board soundcard. I haven't measured if it's bit perfect, but it sounds fine and bypasses Windows' mixer. Do a search for asio4all and you'll find a great how-to. I'd suggest that you buy the Beresford and use it with your mobo, then try it out with other sources if...

    New Portable Amp/Dac: iBasso D1 **with updates on the first page**

    USB is enough to power the Move, but according to the Move thread, its sound improves quite a lot if you power it with batteries or 12v AC. To my understandning, the D1 has a better DAC, which could need more juice than the Move, therefore making it too heavy a load for USB. Amp only, then...

    I am picking up a TC-7510 MK6 after work,

    Herandu, thanks for your detailed comparison (or not, I was perfectly satisfied with the internal DAC in my Denon 2105 but now I'm leaning more and more towards the 7510)! I've read quite a few threads on the 7510, but haven't found that much written about the integrated headphone amplifier...

    Alessandro Music Series MS1 FAN CLUB!

    After waiting for more than a month since ordering my MS-1's, and 24 days since the money was withdrawn from my account, I had more or less lost hope of ever receiving mine, but today I finally got them; seems the delay was due to the Swedish customs getting hold of them (had to pay 250 SEK...

    Windows or OSX?

    I've used PC's+Windows since 1991. Been regularly annoyed by them since then (chronologically: IRQ errors, driver problems, registry *****ups). Got a Mac in November, and now that I know that a computer can "just work" I've gone from being irritated by my PC to loathing it. Still use it for...

    Need help selecting headphones for electronica music within an office setting

    I would not want to wear IEMs in an environment where people would want to talk to me; the E3c's I had took quite a bit of time so insert/extract. Also, people might find your deafness annoying. However, the UM2's might be easier to use (and maybe you don't have much interaction with your...

    hd25-1 impressions thread

    I'm using the Sennheiser 414 cable (IIRC). as it's pretty thin, I can still route it through the headband. by wrapping the left cord around the base of the cord holder (as seen on the picture), I can shorten it to the right length without having to cut it. excellent! this was a tip I found...
