Do you guys turn off the amp after each use? I notice the magni gets warm even when it's not doing anything.- emperorpwl

Amazon DT880 woes
So I purchased a pair of 600Ohm DT880 on Amazon for a decent price last week. Yesterday I received the headphones only to find that they shipped out the 32Ohm version :( Amazon has amazing return/replacement policy, but it looks like there's going to be another week of waiting. Does anyone...- emperorpwl

Soundcard vs Amp - which one should come first?
I second the E07k recommendation, for the price you are getting a decent DAC and an amp that's portable and versatile.- emperorpwl

Please help with my system config
if your sound card is a better DAC than E17, I would just go with option 1, there's probably no audible difference between all the listed options.- emperorpwl

The Home Network Media Server / NAS / etc. Superthread
I ended up building a NAS/HTPC hybrid and have it hooked up to my receiver and TV in the bedroom. It runs Windows Server 2012 and files are shared using Samba. I also have XBMC installed on it for HTPC needs. The server is on 24/7 and serves music/movies/pictures etc to every computer on my home...- emperorpwl
