    Corrupt data or am i doing something wrong?

    Use something like Daemon tools to mount the CD image. Then you can start ripping the individual tracks.

    Emergency!

    Do you have a soldering gun? Just solder together the broken off copper wires together, then cover the exposed parts with some electrical tape.

    Benchmark DAC1 balanced output level?

    Oh bummer. Those trim pots are calibrated so both channels have the same output. Now you need special instruments to recalibrate the those trim pots to achieve the same output on both channel. I played around with the trim pots one time, had to send them back to Benchmark to get them...

    How to rip to Apple Lossless just the audio of a DVD-A disc?

    At least I haven't heard of anyone able to copy an SACD disc. This is mostly because computer DVD drives cannot read SACD discs. As to DVD-A, do some google search. Apparently people have been able to digitally the DVD-A discs. But, is 4 or 5 GB of space for less one hour's worth of music...

    Morph, if you are not affiliated with JenaLabs, why even get yourself involved in this whole mess. Stay out of it, and let JenaLabs deal with it.

    headphone amp or receiver?

    I am not an expert on this either. Just guesses here. I thought the whole point of a switching power supply forms the basis of this new class of amps called "digital" amps.

    Benchmark DAC1 now available with USB

    Thanks for the answers! I am going to use the coaxial connection because when I was placing my order with monoprice, I was too cheap to order that premium optical cable, I ordered a coaxial cable instead. Quote: Originally Posted by little-endian Hi furball, the following...

    Benchmark DAC1 now available with USB

    Hi Elias, I have 2 questions regarding the SPDIF/AES BNC input. The manual says that the DAC1 comes with a BNC-to-RCA adapter. It also says, "TIP: Shielded 75-Ohm coaxial cable is highly recommended for stable performance. Do not use 50-Ohm cables." My questions are, 1) do...

    headphone amp or receiver?

    I thought class D is the same thing as digital amp. Quote: Originally Posted by tfarney Furball, I just linked from Cary's site to a review of the Class D integrated. Nowhere, in either place, did I find the word "digital," so I suspect the Cary is a class D design, but uses...

    headphone amp or receiver?

    That Onkyo integrated is the second place winner in that stereomojo shootout another poster posted earlier. It is a great integrated amp. And with this integrated amp, Onkyo did something different. Instead of using a switching power supply, Onkyo used a traditional power supply to supply the...

    headphone amp or receiver?

    Cary makes tube amps, class A/B amps, and a class D amp. Yep, that Cary class D amp lists for $1,400. Cary even posts a picture of the inside of that amp on their website. After having looked at that picture, I have been wondering how that $1,400 price tag is justified. Maggies require...
