Cheap DACs with 192kHz sampling rate
I got my Aune T1 MK2 today. It sounds amazing and is still breaking in. As for the question over whether it will resolve up to 192kHz or not, in the settings I can only get it up to 96kHz. So either I have something wrong or Aune is falsely advertising. Either way it is still very nice.- PhoneLover94

Cheap DACs with 192kHz sampling rate
Ah. That makes sense then. And with the MK2, it is advertised as such because they upgraded some internals of it. I guess we'll see. For some reason, I can't find a ton of info/reviews yet on the MK2.- PhoneLover94

Cheap DACs with 192kHz sampling rate
That's not the point I was trying to make. I am trying to say that generally you would think there would be a correlation between quality, price, and performance. As the price and quality goes up, you would expect the performance to go up as well. As another guy pointed out, just the simple fact...- PhoneLover94

Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***
I actually just ordered some Voskhod Silver Shield NOS 6n23p. I have heard some people consider them to be at the top of the range and provide a fun listening experience. if they don't do it for me, I'll take a look at the Amperex 7308. Thanks for the suggestion :)- PhoneLover94

Cheap DACs with 192kHz sampling rate
Yeah I understand the sampling rate of the music. I am saying that the cheaper, lower quality ones can decode up to 192kHz but the more expensive ones can only to up to 96kHz.- PhoneLover94

Dedicated Computer headphone amplifier
I don't know about the 10 ohms part but it has an adjustable gain on the bottom that apparently can handle most headphones up to about 600 ohms.- PhoneLover94

Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***
I just ordered the Aune T1 MK2 with the stock "upgraded" 6922 tubes. Are there any specific aftermarket tubes that would be well suited to my modded AD700? These headphones are pretty balanced and neutral in sound. If I had to be honest, they lack a little in bass and have a well defined...- PhoneLover94

Dedicated Computer headphone amplifier
I decided to spend a little more than I was originally planning and just get a DAC/Amp: the Aune T1 MK2. We'll see how good it is when it gets here :) It is supposed to be "warm" and less critical than Schiit (another DAC/Amp combo I was considering), which should be great to go with my AD700s...- PhoneLover94

Cheap DACs with 192kHz sampling rate
So I am looking around at all sorts of amplifiers and DACs and noticed that there are a few cheap DACs that can go up to 192kHz: Orei DA21x Fiio D03K Muse PCM2704 Then I found a bunch of highly regarded, more expensive DACs: NuForce uDAC-3 Schiit Modi Fiio E10K Why are the more...- PhoneLover94

Dedicated Computer headphone amplifier
Long time guys. I currently am running my AD700's through a Fiio E6 which runs out of the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E sound card I have in my computer. I am looking to get a stationary headphone amplifier to replace the E6. I have narrowed my search down to several different...- PhoneLover94

AD700 Recable Issue
Thanks for the tips. The 3.5mm connection seemed to be the best that we soldered yesterday, so we didn't think the problem was there. Tired of not having my AD700's working properly and confused on what the problem was, last night I took the headphones apart again and put the old cable back on...- PhoneLover94

AD700 Recable Issue
Also just noticed that on some songs and youtube videos the vocals are only coming out of the left side. However, when I pull my plug out a little bit then the sound comes out of both sides- PhoneLover94

Does the cable just need time to "burn-in" like headphones?- PhoneLover94
