    hd25-1 impressions thread

    Hmm, I was interested in getting a pair of the HD25-1's, but all I could find was the HD25-II. Is there a difference between 1 and 2?

    REVIEW (in progress) - Nuforce HDP 24/96 USB-Optical 24/192 Coax DAC Preamp and Headphone Amp

    Interesting. I'm curious -- why is having a higher output impedance more desirable, i.e. why is the rear RCA output better than the headphone jack for computer speakers like the promedia 2.1?

    Quote: I use the HDP with Sennheiser HD650s as well as the same speakers, Klipsch Promedia 2.1. I connected both through the front stereo jack. WIth the HD650, just disconnect the 1/4"-->1/8" adapter to plug it in. With the Klipsch, I use the 1/8"-->1/4" adapter to plug it into the same...

    I've noticed that my unit stays warm to the touch even if it's turned off while plugged in to the power supply. Is this normal?

    REVIEW (in progress) - Nuforce HDP 24/96 USB-Optical 24/192 Coax DAC Preamp and Headphone Amp

    Quote: The nice part is that there's only channel imbalance between 8:45-9:00 on my HDP. I usually listen anywhere from 9:30-11:00, depending on the recording. I can always reduce the volume on my media player (winamp/foobar) and increase the volume on the HDP if that ever happens. I do...

    Sansa Clip+ owners --- can you put 2 Clips on 1 computer? Do I need the Rhapsody software?

    Quote: Yes, you can you use 2 clip+s with 1 computer. No, you do not need the Rhapsody software.   I use Windows Media Player to sync my songs with my clip+. Once you connect it to your computer, it'll show up on the sidebar on your WMP. You can delete files off of there as necessary...

    The one listed on etymotic.com was $65   ER4P-24 Cable : Converts ER-4P to ER-4S BUY NOW - $65.00 Eac   Is this the one that you use? Does it completely remove all background hum/hiss? Are there any other in-line resistors available? I had trouble finding them.   Quote:

    I was a little hesitant about the Audio-GD products because of that distance/size factor. The Dr. DAC prime looks promising and very feature packed. Are there any reviews on it? I haven't found any. I'm curious as to how it compares to the Nuforce HDP.
