I got a new set of Denons for X-Mass, and after about 3 days of burn-in they start to improve from their initial (quite messy) state, but the bass is still quite bloated. I'm hesitant to go for the full markl mod, but I BluTack'd all my closed cans (HD201, HD280) and I know it takes 15min and...

Hooked 'em up today - out of the gate they suck big time, but that's expected. My brand new HD580 were even worse when I got them, and a week later (post 150 hours burn-in) I wasn't able to believe it's the same headphone. Boy, HD201 with the right mode is such a great set of cans ...

Spent 1.5 hours with Orpheus at one of the Boston area meetings (thanks Single Power). Best ever. You have to hear it for yourself to believe, with a quality recording.

Wow, I got 'em today ...even though Amazon told me Dec 28. I'll keep 'em under the Xmass tree for now ...

Problem solved, and the credits go to Linuxworks. Thanks a lot. Head-Fi works. I'm not sure what was I doing wrong, but the DAC somehow wasn't locking to the TBAAM. Following your post I tried that again and wow it worked! Windows XP, FB KS to TBAAM @ 16-bit, no DSPs - and the DAC locked...

Nope, TBAAM won't work. That's what I have now - it can't keep redbook pristine, it resamples to 48KHz. I went through a lot of pains to get my DAC bias in check without having any caps in the signal path, and I want to keep the DAC, but it won't process 48KHz I'll get one of the $25 dongles...

Thanks guys, but considering I'm not interested in anything above redbook fidelity is there "a plain and simple" solution along the lines of buffer-clock-decoder/encoder which can be DIY'ed for a day and cost less than a $100. I guess I'm asking for too much ...

Got 'em for 201, new from Amazon. The gear I wanted for the price that I wanted, let's hope they'll stand for all the hype ...

Problem statement - how to deliver bit-perfect KS/ASIO from Compaq 6910p notebook to Entech Number Cruncher DAC. 1) My notebook doesn't have digital out, only USB, and I'm not even sure if I can transfer non-oversampled, bit-perfect redbook thru it ...but that's step one 2)How to apply the...

Bump. Anyone dealt with TBAAM before?

I can't get Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro to work with my DAC. Even with FB2000/KS, TBAAM outputs at 48KHz (i.e. resamples), and my DAC can't swallow that. Any ideas?

I was suppose to see him in a month...and we were looking forward to it...that sucks...well, life is worth losing indeed. Pease, Forever
