    Review : AUDINST HUD-MX1 DAC/amp - a promising newcomer (compared to Audio-gd FUN, AMB Gamma2)

    So I brought the Audinst home from work, to my trusty computer... Sounds perfectly fine and never glitches. Didn't even do any tweaks in software.   I'm going to chalk this as a PSU issue. It's always the damn power. Comp at home is a nice Corsair TX-750W, and who knows what the horrible PSU...

    Review : AUDINST HUD-MX1 DAC/amp - a promising newcomer (compared to Audio-gd FUN, AMB Gamma2)

    I got mine just a few days ago, and gave it a short run during work.   While it's excellent, I'm getting that same glitchy noisy thing that people seem to have mentioned. I'm not sure what the cause exactly is yet either. It happened especially worse when I was copying files off my ipod via...

    1 big 48 in monitor or 2 22in LCDS HELP

    1. CPU does not care. 2. No, you probably don't need a special graphics card. At most, you'll worry about connector issues (if your card doesn't have hdmi output and your tv only accepts hdmi, for instance), which is mostly a non-issue anyway due to converters being available. 2.a. No...

    K702: OMG, etc...??

    When I got my K702 initially I was like "woah, where's the bass?". Then some time later, which by I mean a few days of listening, I was like "hey, it's right there, wonder how I missed it, and it's pretty nice too". Some weeks later, I realise I didn't love my old cans since I got the AKG, so...

    Do you believe in Burn-In?

    Did anyone seriously not ever bother doing a scientific experiment of buying two brand new headphones, burn only one in for a hundred hours or more, then play the same music/sound/whatever over both, record the output, and analyze how they differ? Someone ought to.

    sensitive iems buzzing with computer

    Not much you can do other than to get an external DAC. An amp alone will actually make it worse, since it'll be amping the noise too. Garbage in, garbage out, etc. Note, el cheapo USB DAC will power out of the USB port, which itself is probably plagued with noise. Find something with a...

    The Etymotics HF5 Thread

    I owned a pair of 6i and heard 4P. hf5 performs really, really well, I'd say it's pretty much up there next to 4P. And yes, hf5 does indeed produce plenty of bass (as long as it's sealed correctly). Quite unlike what Etymotic usually does with their leaner signature. Slightly too much bass now...

    Matt Bellamy (Muse) or Thom Yorke (Radiohead) is/was a better singer? - Only Voice and vocal abilities

    Demetrio Stratos was here, trouncing. But, if I must choose between the two, eh, probably Matt.

    COWON I9 is out for sale!

    It says 29 hours on the specs list, and knowing Cowon, probably really does 30 hours or so.

    Heed CanAmp

    I just got mine, and loving it :3 Looked at the inside, I feel like modding it further, even though it already has been by the previous owner(s).

    Heed CanAmp

    Cool! Thanks for the help. I kinda get paranoid with electronic stuff.

    Heed CanAmp

    To any Australian owners of Heed Canamp: Did any of you have issues with fact that mains voltage here is 220V~240V, but that transformer seems to want it between 120V~230V?
