I don't think the OP was talking about upgrading his computers power cable, just that he abbreviated power cable to "PC"   I don't really have much advice about choosing a power cord as I am skeptical to their effects.  Maybe if you have some sort of power conditioner, but take a look at the...

Sorry meant to post this in the Full Size forum.

I'm looking for a combination Preamp/Headphone amp.  It will be used with DT990s (600 Ohm) and a few IEMs and easy to drive headphones.  I'm also hoping to replace the Preamp in my speaker setup.  Budget is flexible, cheaper is better, but lets say $500 for now.  Also I want something that looks...

Quote:   CD is usually my second choice after AUX.  Some amps like my NAD 304 have nicer connectors for CD (and phono) than the rest.  Given that yours is a 302 it may be similar.

Many surround receivers have analog inputs as well.  My dad's Denon does.  What are the specific models of your receivers?  Also they wont be 3.5mm, but RCA.   Here's an example of something that would work:   http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/2987097077.html

I own a pair of HD595s and HifiMan HE5-LEs.  Since getting the HE5-LE I have used them exclusively and wouldn't miss having the HD595s.

Just saw it at 14.99 before I went to class.  Figured I would come back and order a pair, buuut nooo. . . .

I've been wanting to try a few DIY amps, but need a little bit of advice on where to start.  What are the essential tools and where is a good place to buy them?   I want to start out with something simple, but eventually want to build an amp for my HifiMan HE5-LEs.   Thanks to anyone who...

I just picked up a pair of HiFiMan HE5-LE headphones and was wondering was all of your opinions are on my amplification setup.   I currently have it hooked up to my AMC 3050a speaker amp LINK HERE and to my ears it sounds really good.  It has plenty of power, and at normal listening levels I...

In the browser I could hear all of them, but now after reading the post above me, I'm not so sure.   19 and the ones above 20 didn't sound quite how I would expect.

Quote: Thanks, that chart gave me pretty much all the information I need and I got them rewired correctly. 

I have a Little Dot DAC_1 and it has both RCA and XLR inputs.  I was under the impression that the RCA-XLR cable that I bought off of monoprice would work fine, but all I get is some static and very poor quality audio.  I then saw a post on a different forum saying that they were incorrectly...
