my DAC design - pup1 DAC
Would I run into any issues extending the USB lines to something like this mounted to a Hammond case? I'm looking to put a PupDAC in the same case as a Pimeta V2 so I can save some space using only one enclosure and forego the RCA cables, but I've read that using wire to increase lead...- Mikael109

Any point to upgrading my E10?
I've been thinking of building a DAC to replace the Fiio E10 that I have currently but I'm not sure that there would really be any reason to do so given my situation. (outside of the joy of a DIY project) It would be used strictly at my work where I only stream Spotify through a USB...- Mikael109

DIY Cable Gallery!!
Quote: Pictures of said cases? (I build them too) Nice cable though, I really like the braided paracord look. I ordered some black, purple, and blue for my next stick's wiring. I'll probably use it to build another shorter cable for my AKG's too.- Mikael109

THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD
Do you notice any weird stretching on the headband of those akg's when they hang like that? I left mine hanging from the headband like that overnight and it looked pretty oblong the next morning when I removed it from the stand.. Nice solid construction though! I like the two support bar look.- Mikael109

No worries, I appreciate all the help. I checked out eBay and it looks like they have some imitation ones from china for ~$8-$13 as liam was saying.- Mikael109

Quote: Sorry to quote something so far back in the thread.. But where is everyone getting this panel mounted LED? I checked all over mouser, ebay, ect and I couldn't find one that covers the center of the LED and makes it light up in a ring-like pattern.- Mikael109

++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum
Thanks Doc, I don't know why I didn't just look for that graph in the first place.. It answers everything I was looking for.. sorry. Compared it to my K240's just for a reference and I'll definitely be going with the 990's.- Mikael109

Can't seem to make a decision on this one.. With the DT990's (prem) recessed mids I'm worried about being strained to hear lyrics in some EBM recordings. Not quite the best example, but you get the idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67BnviTCBlc This is pushing me...- Mikael109

I actually think it looks good! I really like the shape of it. The colors match all the Apple stuff pretty well too.- Mikael109

THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD
Thanks everyone, I think I'm going to get rid of this one and build another out of mahogany or dark walnut though. (I'm ocd and the non-uniformity of the grain bugs me a little) I'm hanging the AKGs from the upper cable now and they're only about .5" above the base.. Next one...- Mikael109

THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD
I had a few chunks of zebrawood laying around so I built a quick stand out of them. Crappy photos since I'm at work.. Pretty simple but I like the way it turned out.- Mikael109

Just what I was looking for, thanks for taking the time to go over everything. I have a diy project amp and dac coming up so I was planning on upgrading headphones at that point as well. It's going to be a hybrid tube amp.. so it's not running off 240V, but I think it should still...- Mikael109

++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum
I'm happy with the amount of bass from my AKG K240 MKII's but looking for something that'll benefit a little more from amping in the future.. and maybe a little more mid-range as well. I'm stuck between the DT880 and DT990 (both would be premium, and both would be 250/600ohm) I'm...- Mikael109

SOHA II Builders Thread
Thanks so much for pulling that up! Can see the 15-0-15 clearly and it looks like I had it right. I'm pretty new to everything so if this is a completely incorrect thought feel free to ignore it or have me delete it.. but I noticed that in glass jar's kit "non-insulated" chassis...- Mikael109
