Hi,   The 0404 USB is good as long are you buy it from a respectable reseller so the warranty is in place. I use it mainly for analog output with disregard for S/PDIF input and output, and MIDI. But remember, you are looking at pro audio gear so it would be best to buy gear best suited for...

May be a bit off topic but I have finally gotten uLilith to play ALAC to work. I've tested with uLilith 1.0 pre-Beta.4 (2010/05/21). I use K-Lite Codec Pack for DC-Bass source 1.2.0 (where do I download it seperately?) and I added M4A extension in uLilith for "File extensions" and "Direct Show...

I've had them for about two years, and I've noticed that the the left side vibrates/buzzes with low end or when there is a good amount bass. Not all instances, but it does occur during some songs. I do listen to a lot of electronic music with bottom end but I'm not sure what went wrong. Has...

Take a look at the link. Look at the green dongle with the cables The breakout cables use 1/8" female(correct me if I'm wrong) so you can try using your headphones with those. You'll know for sure when you get the card. I would recommend a good headphone amplifier, but it's up to you.

You can use a RCA to female mini adapter but the impedance may be too high for your headphones. So, you can also try the multi-colored breakout cables that come the sound card.

uLilith (Unicode OS, I believe Windows 2000 and up)looks to be in test phase so if you want to check it out. There isn't a configuration/preferences section as of yet. It also requires Visual C++ 2008 Redist before you can run it. I'm not sure if you need Visual C++ 2005 but it won't hurt...

I may have voted for the MS-1 but I must say that the MDR-V6 go well with classical, pop, hip hop, house/deep progressive trance.

In foobar2000, try using the limiters in the DSP section if you haven't gotten around to doing that. Which software build are you using for foobar2000? Are you applying replaygain? About ASIO, try using asio4all if foobar2000 won't interface properly.

Your source is fine and your headphones are very pratical. I have never used a Audigy 2 but I have tried the Live!(quadrophonic), Live!5.1 and and Audigy. At the time, I enjoyed gaming, subtle music listening, and internet browsing. They worked fine for regular usage which was great. So, if...

The quality is transparent to me. I'm not too familiar with headphones and it doesn't surprise me that switching between 6.14 and 6.06 are noticable. I'm primarily using an MDR-V6 model for general playback amplified by Gary's amp. I want to say it sounds more natural but I would be just lying...

Does the Alessandro MS-1 come standard with a 1/4 in. plug unless you choose the mini-plug adaptor option? Or does it ship with a 1/8 in. plug even if you don't choose the mini-plug option.

Should this benefit Indigo IO and Indigo DJ? Or is this intended for the original Indigo? It definitely works with the Indigo IO. Thanks for the trick. Works well.

In my opinion, the amp is great but integrated sound with amplification isn't ideal. But if doesn't matter if you truly like the integrated sound codec. Both sources are good to use the amplifier with. The PA2V2 has excellent battery life so the portable solution would be perfect.

By enabling ASIO output(plug-ins) at high frequencies such as 88.2kHz and 96kHz through resampling causes pops and clicks(artifacts maybe?) through music playback. Quintessential player Mediamonkey Winamp Foobar2000 With those players I've experienced similar results. Mediamonkey still...
