M2Tech HiFace not outputting 96kHz on the Mac?
I have HM-801 and I am using the coaxial input. I noticed via kernel log messages that the HiFace is sampling at 44.1kHz, not the maximum supported 96kHz supported by the HM-801. Can someone with another Mac confirm or deny this? Can someone with a non-Mac platform confirm it does...- Trogdor

Open source firmware project for HifiMan?
Hi Fang: Is there any reason why the firmware for the HM series of players can not be open sourced to promote development and enthusiasm for the product? I am not sure if you have any real IP buried in the firmware itself that might prevent this. But even if that is the case, why...- Trogdor

Is Coheed and Cambria an emo-band?
Help me out: On a fellow head-fier's recommendation, I have been listening to Coheed and Cambria on and off. So back story, I wanted to hear something off their new album so I made a request to a local college heavy metal radio station (if you live in NJ, guess which one...its... -

Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Impressions
Don't ask, I got really really lucky. UE has made my holidays for sure. Ultimate Ears is still trying to get these out as fast as humanly possible and I just happened to ask at the right time.

How long are you willing to wait for the Triple Fi's?
I'm really upset. I really wanted to have IEMs for the holidays. I never dreamed that the Triple Fis would miss Xmas and potentially not land till March of 07. I really do like the E500's but thought the treble was slightly recessed and that the midrange was a little warm (but in a good musical...- Trogdor

Well its official: UE Triple Fi 10's ship November 10th
Just got a call from UE and there has been a delay. Really nice of them to call. This is really unfortunate, but its only another week! I believe Flavio from EarphoneSolutions.com was the first to report this in the Member Trade area but I figure I would post this anyway.- Trogdor

What is a "hybrid" amp? Raptor, Rudistor?
I've recently been told that the RSA Raptor is a "hybrid amp" and that is has SS and tube outputs. I didn't know this, my understanding is that this is purely a tube based amplifier with a tube output stage. From the websites they seem like pure tube amps. Perhaps my understanding is off, can...- Trogdor

About 10,000 days and a Tool ticket story...
So as like probably everyone on this board knows, last Saturday at 11AM Tool tickets went on sale for NYC in May during their pre-tour rounds.

Music like Tin Hat Trio
I'm addicted to this group. I absolutely love the sort of background ambient music of Tin Hat Trio (infact I am going to see them this Sunday at Tonic in NYC). Any other suggestions of music like them????? I know they are somewhat avant-garde jazz but I am looking for suggestions.
