You only void the warranty if you tell them you opened it up. They have no way of knowing if you took it apart or not. There are no seals.   I have a ton of internal photo's from when I took mine apart, I just looked at them all to see fuse sizes but I do not see any fuses in there at all in...

Guys, I posted a review on Audioholics for the DAC if you are interested, It contains a little more info and some photos of the dac that you may be interested in. Here is the link:   http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/write-your-own-review/85785-teac-ud-501-usb-dac.html  

Quote:   I do really like them. Putting them on is like sitting down in a la-z-boy they are definitely more comfortable than any other phones I have by a large margin! I have since also received the Lyr and they certainly have more headroom plugged into that amp instead of the teac's...

I received my UD-501  a few days ago, So far I am very pleased with it. I think the build quality is outstanding and sound quality is also exceptional. It did take a little bit of tinkering with foobar and using different settings to get it to play all of the different high res files but I think...

Well, I decided that I would like to get a pair of the HD650's so I picked up a used Schiit Lyr. Still have not purchased any headphones but when I do I will do a comparison of the teac headphone output compared to that with the headphones being driven by the Lyr. Of course, I expect that in the...

I purchased this Teac DAC and it will arrive next week. Right now my current audio situation is that all of my 2 channel system is in storage 5000 miles away where it will remain for another year, I am currently listening to music with some HD280's driven by the integrated sound on my computer...

I always thought those nixie tubes were one of the coolest things ever. I thought about making a clock like that at one time.

Thanks, I could do a headphone related one but It would be a real stretch to try and make an entire years worth of pictures from the limited headphone stuff i have.

I have posted this on a couple other forums but this seems like a good place to do it as well since i would imagine theres more of a geekier crowd here, Like myself that would enjoy them. But anyway, I have put together a 2008 calendar made up of pics of different things that make up our...

Thanks for the replies, I had it apart again lastnight to try and diagnose the problem, So i cleaned all the gears and surfaces where the sled rides and lightly lubricated them with a high viscosity gun oil which probably isint the best but its all i've got. I put my new laser assembly in again...

Ive got one of these I picked up off audiogon about a year ago, And Ever since I have noticed the darn thing doesnt like certain cd's, It will skip constantly on certain cd's at certain time's and will play others flawlessly. And im talking about store bought cd's that are flawless. I have lubed...

Time for a change of pace. Here's the Power strip I built to accomodate plugging my mono blocks directly into my single 20A dedicated outlet. Everything else is plugged into a Monster HTS5300. Both the wall plug and the power strip plug are hospital grade, The power strip plug is housed in a...
