Quote: I have a Monitor 02 US with a ProLine 750 (40 Ohms), it sounds great for music, could be a little more agressive for movies (it's due to 5.1->stereo normalized downmix matrix, the sound is not louder enough).

Quote: I knew it! However i've lost my manual, could you tell me, which one is for low-impedance (32 Ohms)?

Do both heaphones output are the same on the 02 US?

Each time I disconnect the power plug, the amp shut down. Anyway, the USB specifications are too tight for the MM02US(5,0V, 500mA, it's 2,5W MM02US need 3...) Or maybe it could be operational but with somme features disabled (like spdif output)? It seems to me that only the DAC function...

I think this DAC/Amp is one of the best quality/price you will ever see. Every days since I've bought it I enjoy. Maybe the only thing that could be improve without increasing the price, could be a separated power supply in order to put the MM02US on battery. Could be usefull for laptops.

With my Ultrasone PL 750 the volume is very loud at 1%. (I can't listen to music over 15%, unless I'm drunk) However this is good for movies that are downmixed with normalised matrix, and for music I ajust the volume with the software if I want to. (But 1% is perfect actually) PL 750 is 40...

Indeed, it's very difficult to make a difference between drivers for the audio quality. However, with ASIO in foobar2000 and flac sources I found the 1.0.8.4 better, maybe more "spacious", but it is a slight difference, and with placebo effect for sure

I've juste updated my drivers 1.0.3.2 to 1.0.8.4 beta (found on musiland website); and the ASIO output is now working better! Also some improvement in the sound level control. Under Vista x64 (1.0.7.0 are not working for me)

@debitson: Yes, my driver disc is 1.0.7.0 too and under Seven x64 it works very good! But, unfortunately not under Vista x64. With the 1.0.3.2 WDM works under Vista x64 but not ASIO. @angle_sh00ter: I found the musiland too powerful for my Proline 750s, and I use the right output (PL750s is...

Hi! I've juste recieved my Musiland Monitor 02US. But I'm having some troubles using it under Vista x64... I can't have a clear sound, I've many "scratches" or "clicks" like I was listening to a vinyl disc very used. Especially when a select anything over 44.1kHz and 16 bits. But even in...

I've also spotted this miniDAC+headphone amp for my computer, at 99€ (80£), and I was wondering if any one have tested it? I noticed, that NG 98 uses OPA2604AP for headphone amplification and Cirrus CS4398 for DAC function. Maybe this is a good combo for my Ultrasone Pro Line 750?

Hum, maybe the best thing to do, is to get an affortable portable amp, and a separated cheap speaker amp (Or maybe a DIY ?) that don't need to be portable. Or a non-portable amp that can do headphone and speakers, small size, light weight, and I would bring batteries to power him during the...
