Used the M50 for a while and I like it. Headphone amp is the JDS Labs Objective 2. I'll be sticking with that. So obviously my whole setup is focused on detail, to the point of being analytical. Which works quite well for me with a near perfect recording. But it picks up every possible...

Ah, ok. Thanks.

Such as this one. http://fredsamplifiers.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_31&products_id=66 What does the "3 channel" actually refer to? I've only heard that term used for amps with three headphone outputs. But this is just a single output amp. Presumably they're claiming that...

My criteria. Good noise isolation. I work in a fairly noisy environment and that's where I would be using them primarily. Comfortable, although I'm not one of those that is really picky about IEMs. Even cheap crappy ones don't bug me. Retention. I'm on my feet moving around at work, so I...

Oh, and I do think it sounds better using WASAPI.  It's not a huge difference, but noticeable.

Fooling around with J River media center and it seems pretty nice.  I may just buy that if it can do everything that WMC can.  I still find it amazing that Microsoft's media software won't support their own codec.    Oh well.

I've been trying to get windows media player to work with FLAC files for input, and a bit perfect output codec like ASIO.  I managed to get FLAC working but the output is giving me trouble.  I've heard that Windows 7 no longer uses kmixer, so is it ok to just use the standard output from media...

At my local independent record store run by a bunch of hippies (ok, that's not fair, only a few of them qualify as hippies) I found a box with STAX on the side and a $30 price tag.  They're old, model SR-X mk3.  Also in the box was the adapter thingy to hook them up to your main speaker amp. ...

Didn't read the whole thread (63 pages OMG), so sorry if this has been covered. I'm planning on making some mono RCA-RCA interconnects. Would be used for pre-outs to amp. Anyway, I've seen several types of cable used for this and I don't really understand the difference. The cable I was...

Yeah I'm using the latest version. That stinks, I guess I'll set it up with DS. Don't really want to go back to an older version since I've just now got FofR tweaked how I want it.

My problem is every time I reboot the computer my settings go to hell. I have foobar setup to output through the E-mu ASIO drivers. It works fine. Until I shut down and reboot, then it gives me an error saying that the specified ASIO device can't be found. So I go in, delete the driver from the...

With my 0404 I didn't hear any difference between DS, KS, and ASIO4ALL. Once I figured out I didn't need ASIO4ALL and got it configured through the E-mu drivers it sounded a little better. So that's how I left it, but there's not much difference between the various options.

Don't know if it's still running, but there was a rebate applied to my recent order from music123. I got the 0404 usb for $124.99 shipped. It's priced $149.99 on the website but when you check out they applied a $25 credit. Shipping was still free and it was pretty darn fast too.

Yeah, I'm assuming you mean your songs don't show up in the Library panel after adding them. Are your files on the local PC, or do you map a network drive to get to them? I was having the same problem and then I discovered that Foobar will not open the drive itself, even if you have it...
