iPhone 4
Yeah, I meant dac. I am not sure that I believe that they "had" to use the micro-sim because of space. I think it's just another one of their proprietary games. The ipad uses the micro-sim as well and it has oodles of room. I am sort of new to the iphone world, does it use the same dac as...- kayaker3057

High End Headphone Myth
well, the way I look at it is: my wife understands the difference between SD and HD, but she could care less. So to her there is no difference. Me however, it makes a HUGE difference. It is just the details that we care to spend time with. Coming from car audio, having demo'd many many...- kayaker3057

udac vs Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
So I already own the udac, and the other day I just got a new desktop with the Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio card in it. I figured I would try out the audio card, just for grins. Well, to me, it sounds better than my udac. MY headphones are a pair of shure 840's with about 500 hours on them...- kayaker3057

where to next?
So, I got the Nuforce udac and Shure 840 for Christmas and I love them! BUT, as I have once again been accustomed to high quality audio(I was a huge car stereo sound quality buff) I am realizing the shortfalls of the 840 with my current setup. Lack of bass("solved" by e-q ing), fairly narrow...- kayaker3057

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Nuforce uDAC USB DAC AMP with line out and S/PDIF out
I am getting much more familiar with this and I am wondering why the udac does not support 24 bit. I know the upcoming hdp does, but have no idea if its even the same chip. Is this a chip based thing or a drivers based thing?- kayaker3057

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Nuforce uDAC USB DAC AMP with line out and S/PDIF out
So far, the udac has made the clarity better on my shure 840's. I've had the shures for like 2 hours now, so we will see how it is after burning the phones in a long while. But I would already say the udac is a necessity.- kayaker3057

stang - For me, it is being able to hear definitive instrument separation. Also, I listen to bands like Mutemath and As Tall As Lions, and quite frankly there is a lot of going on and usually there are un-traditional instruments being played in the background. But that's just me. I went from a...- kayaker3057

I got mine today, ordered back on the 4th from NSL. Initial listening is quite amazing with my udac. The udac makes quite a bit of difference in the clarity, much more clear with. The fit of the headphones is great, very comfortable. The headband is not near as hard as the one I tried at GC...- kayaker3057

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Nuforce uDAC USB DAC AMP with line out and S/PDIF out
Just got my udac in the mail. Wow. I have only listened to a few tracks a/b with my laptop(high end hp) headphone out and then with the udac and it just sounds like a sock was pulled off the phones! My current phones are Sony nc7's. There is so much more clarity. Can say about bass/mids/treble...- kayaker3057
