    USB soundcard for Linux

    I have a few headphones including Senn HD600s but would probably be using mainly Senn PX200s as they are what I travel with. I guess I am willing to spend around £100. BTW wasn't the link you posted a list of DACs rather than USB sound cards ?

    Paul is Dead, Just Do It..... The backmasking thread

    Quote: Two teenagers came to the logical conclusion of 'double suicide', and almost destroyed the heavy metal community in the process. Not really, perhaps in the Bible Belt of the USA but in most other places in the world people just thought that that was a ridiculas excuse wether...

    Greatest Present-Day Band?

    It was the Stones for all of the 70s and the 80s and now it has to be U2. Personally I can take them or leave them but no one else has the stadium filling power combined with longevity and talent that's recognised world wide. There are definately more arty bands and you can say that some band...

    Kate Bush's new album is a work of genius...

    Buy it its fantastic. The second CD is like a Kate Bush / Pink Floyd / Trance crossover album. Truly outstanding.

    Senn PX200 v PMX200

    Thanks. I will mainly be using them for listening to when on a train or plane or in a hotel room. I therefor don't need the jogging abilty etc but have concluded that whilstr lying down a headband on the back of the neck is a bad idea so have ordered the PX200s.

    Difference in sound between optical cables?!

    People really belive that they can detect jitter induced by optical cables ! The speed of light in an optical cable is so fast that it would be impossible for the human ear to detect any slight variation. The transmitter on the other hand could induce jitter. This is a digital signal stream...
