anyone?   leaning to the musiland 02, partly because I think the Aune would induce some incremental upgrades (Power, adding coax out to my PC, etc) that would really bump the effective price.

There is some chatter comparing these two but it is scattered on here. I've done a LOT of supplemental reading and have narrowed these two dac/amps as the best < $150. USB is necessary, although I do have a TOSlink out....   ** not looking to get a separate headphone amp, so the...

Can you comment on how the uDAC handles having speaker and headphones connected simultaneously? (do they both work at once?) Saw in another thread that disconnecting headphones enables volume control on the RCA out, but with headphones in audio is still output to the RCA out or not? Thanks!

It was just the filter! After searching here I thought I had a bad cable. Randomly today I decided to look at the filters. Nothing looked wrong but I took off the 'covering' green and white thin plastic disk and noticed the sound instantly was 10x louder from the side I thought was 'broken'...

Just completed this took about 10 mins. Managed to do it all with my bare hands. Didn't have too much trouble with the glue, a few patches of pleather came off but most of the glue actually stayed on the original pads not the foam. they do seem more comfortable, 'surround' my ear more, the...

No One? I mean I could just use 2 soundcards the 710 is only 25 bucks. But I don't like the hassle of switching, or can you use both at once?.

This has been asked and partially answered in slightly different froms but I haven't gotten a concrete answer on it. I'm considering the following soundcards: Revo 7.1 Revo 5.1 Chaintech EMU 0404 I have a set of klipsch 2.1 and a pair of 7506's so decent output, not amazing. What I...

Ok, I finally got my jack/plug yesterday.... Long story but basically They were ordered and shipped the 28th of Jan, got here the 2nd, were "out for delivery" according to the UPS tracking system, then they weren't delivered. I waited till the next day and when they weren't delivered again I...

The plug is the 30-319 and the Jack is the 30-319-F, found on pages 5 and 2 in the PDF (labeled on the catalog as 37 and 34). I didn't find a good 1/4 jack, but Neutrik makes very good jacks. http://www.neutrik.com/content/Produ...2id=204_281451

Quote: Originally posted by JML It doesn't have the Canare name on it, the knurling is a little bit different, and the spring strain relief is bright and not matte, but the thing looks like it was made by Canare. The one I pictured is a Calrad Plug AFAIK, and judging by what you've...

Does it look like this?:

Did some more digging on that Calrad Jack, and found they make a better version, the 30-319-F, and also a plug version, the 30-319. Both look very solid, come with strain releif (yay!) and are relatively big which is good for DIY soldering and larger cables. Looking at the pictures I think I've...

Thanks Demolition, useful information. I've seen that Switchcraft jack and a few others like it, but they're mono jacks. It's good to know the brand of that Calrad jack, I'll look for some places that have it at a reasonable price.

ok, I found the thread you refer to from about a year ago but a conclusion was never really reached and the only concrete reference was to the tecnec connectors which didn't look that great. However, I did some more digging browsing through a bunch of parts sites and found a mystery (as in...

I've found a couple of quality 3.5mm plugs from neutrik, canare etc but I can't seem to find a quality stereo inline jack to match. Does anyone know a good source of these? I've done a good amount of searching on the web and in these forums but I can't come up with anything. I called a local...
