    Better Sound for Mac Users- Pure Music Player

    Does this work with streaming via WLAN -> an Airport Express router? I remember to have read that the Airport always converts to 44.1khz...   Didn´t get it to stream higher than that - any ideas or is that streaming method not supported?     Cheers!

    So what's the "correct" way to turn on tube amps with headphones?

    I´d like to specify the "preamp question" - is the use of a tube amp which keeps the signal on both the preamp & headphone without a headphone plugged in harmful to the tubes / the amp in any way?

    So what's the "correct" way to turn on tube amps with headphones?

    Hi, I´d like to add a question to this whole issue: What about the tube amp (I´m using a WooAudio WA2) when it´s purpose is also being the preamp? In my case (as the output signal as a preamp is a lot lower than with the phones plugged in) I´ll have to adjust the volume to 12 o´clock...

    Excellent DAC for $500 before shipping?

    I´m quiet happy with the non-OS MoodLab products - sound matches very well tubed amplifying... Just needs a proper power supply (DIY example in black behind the DAC) plus two black gates changed , HQ interconnects & there you are - a really satisfying piece of audio equipment. Also the build...

    Looking for 2.1 speakers (better than my Altec Lansing MX5021)

    Got the Razer Mako too - brilliant & best 2.1 to buy. Worth every penny - you should continue saving some money & afterwards buy these. You won´t regret it...

    Moodlab Concept power supply

    My really well working solution to push the CONCEPT a little further (see pics below). This custom power supply, changing to BlackCaps & using a HagUSB with the CONCEPT (instead of choosing the DICE) and a little bit of damping lets this combo blossom. Cheers Micha

    Best OTL amp / DAC USB / Grado RS combo?

    Hi Eric, there´s not many guys for around here who buy specific headphone amps (& even less with tubes) but I had a nice session with a RSA Raptor which remembered to be less "life staged" & more "sterile" with my RS-2s. More bass? Yes - Tighter? Perhaps too but also colder. Please...

    Best OTL amp / DAC USB / Grado RS combo?

    Hi Kees, as you know - RSA or a DIYed Millet / Bijou / M^3 was on my radar but as always in life you stumble over different options... Quiete a few guys around here use this rather "strange" combo - and when auditioned today (was just 40 mls away) it worked remarkably well... Had...

    Best OTL amp / DAC USB / Grado RS combo?

    Hi, I´m puzzled concerning my home setup. Problem is that I´d like to drive Grado RS-2s / GS1000s using an OTL amp (WooAudio WA2) plus LossLess media coming from my Mac. I prefer USB as interconnect between the DAC & Mac - so which DAC would be a good match? So - Open to any...

    What I think... GS1000 vs RS1 vs RS2... and vs SR80.

    Makes me look for a GS1000 as a RS-2 upgrade... Nah - can´t part with it! So it has to be an additional GS1000 - let the search begin! Any idea where the HF-2 will position in this line-up?

    Pictures of Your Portable Rig [Part XIII]

    @ GreatDane Thanks for the wild guess - the weakest link are the headphones though. The Shure e4s were always okay with the X5 - but now they just are very harsh in the upper regions and produce a rather flat bass. The Grado´s do fairly well with mid volume - nice detailing but with...
