Asus Xonar Essence ST

Will an audio switcher degrade audio quality?
i am using this one for switching between headphone amp and speaker amp (didn't pay that much for it). i don't have the feeling that there is any audible degradation of sound quality. edit: close up pics here.- fromatoz

Review of the Audio-gd DAC-19 DSP & C2 amp - The ACSS connection
...with audio-gd earth / burson opas and i like the music much more ... more body, more soul (listening with grado 225i/325i). what i mean: even with *okay* interconnects it already sounds nicer than acss. well, that's just me. and since they are pretty cheap, i would recommend to buy the...- fromatoz

Pictures of your computer rigs! Post them here!
me too, i love tatami smell. my kefs are probably the same as yours - q1. i'd like to give them a proper amp, but the problem is space. btw, same room again, 1 year ago, after a little earthquake ... (i was lucky not to sit there when it happened) Quote:- fromatoz

...more appropriate, but it's ok for the moment. (since you also happen to have kef speakers - what amp would you recommend?) and yes, the tatamis *are* my desk. i used to sit on them for years until my aging legs started to hurt ... below: same room, same tatamis, 8 years ago (my...- fromatoz

To Grado. Or not to Grado?
i do love and hate my grados (sr 325i) at the same time. i absolutely love their airy sound, but ... since they are rather heavy (metal housing) i have to take them off after an hour or so. yes, they really hurt. so much that i am unable to enjoy the music after a while. this hasn't changed from...- fromatoz

Review of the Audio-gd DAC-19 DSP & C2 amp - The ACSS connection
Quote: i bought the single version, which is much cheaper. around 70 usd if you buy direct from burson audio. it was well worth the money, i think, but most people here are rather demanding, so i don't know what they might think.- fromatoz

Review of the Audio-gd DAC-19 DSP & C2 amp - The ACSS connection
burson opamp arrived today. what a surprise: no muffled, but very dynamic, full-bodied, warm and mellow sounding music flowing through the rca connection. now the acss connection almost feels anaemic ... well, let's see, no, listen again tomorrow. 楽しみ。- fromatoz

Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.
Hello, I am new here. Is there any chance to have 220-240V as well as 100-120V? Or to change it somehow from one voltage to the other? Unfortunately I need both, for usage in Japan and Switzerland. That's why I am considering the Sheer Audio HA-006++ ... How would they compare soundwise...- fromatoz
