Quote: I'm a little concerned as the sound from the e10 to the Denon is really clear and nice. The sound from the headphone output is nothing as `clear` due to distortion. At your suggestion I tried the E10 -> denon then the headphone out of the denon and the distortion is not there...

Dont really know what thread to post this into, but see if any one can help. I am new to the HiFi world but have been discovering new stuff. My current setup is a Denon m38DAB, Seinhesser hd 595, Fiio E5, Fiio E6 and now a Fiio e10. At the Girlfriends place the computer -> Fiio E10 ->...

i have an elite pro, purchased it mainly for the external break out box and the games stuff, but also beocuse it had a vinyl input. my old setup was: RPM4, MC15 turbo II, Project phonobox SE inot the line in ( the decent socket ) on the elite pro card. i was not too happy with the sound i...

my current vinyl recording routine is thus: RPM4 & ortofon om10 into Creative X-Fi elite pro vinyl input record at 24 bit 96 khz resolution normalise one side equal to the other ( it`s not to bad, but just in case ) Do a noise reduction on the floor noise using a sample from the begining of...

DSD? Im recording into a computer for archive/cd playback.

when recording vinyl, is it better to record at 96khz 24 bit to capture the highest detail and downsample to cd audio and risk introducing artifacts on downsample, or is it better to record at 44khz 16 bit direct, therefore capturing less detail but not having any down sampling atifacts? i`m...

Yes i know it`s over priced, but i believe when some thing is exactly what you want, the price does not matter. so the personal review firstly the card. the Nice dacs sound nice, lots of details, and i enjoy listening to stuff via headphones from the DAC on the headphone out. it`s a lot more...

read the title back, it rhymes! anyway i currently have a lovely ProJect RPM4. i traded the orginal cart (510) for a Mc15 super II, and bought a ProJect phono box SE. the sound was ok, but not what i was after. now i`d like to move back to MM as i bought a Creative X-FI elite pro and it has...

hey guys. i`m intrested in a creative x-fi ( top`o`the line one ) but would only need it for the better ADC/DACs, vinyl record input and the gameing features. so question is if i get the lower model ( £99 ) of the X-fi and spent the spare £150 on a dedicated card, what is best to get. i`d...

so has any one tried the riaa inputs yet?
