    Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp

    Greetings everyone, it sure was one heck of a job reading through this entire thread... yet it made the waiting for my very own Zero DAC/amp much more bearable. I ordered my Zero from Lawrence when I was still only somewhere around page 200 of this humongous thread and only read about his...

    Soundcard with a good digital out

    I've also looked around a bit, and I think I've got a small list of which cards would be suitable (from reading their discription): RME Digi96/8 PAD M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 Hoontech Soundtrack Digital-XG These cards seem to've got reasonable (in case of the M-Audio) or good (RME &...

    Soundcard with a good digital out

    Soundcard with a good digital out

    I'm currently investigating a digital source upgrade, and I think I will settle for a Ack! dAck! and a yet to be decided soundcard. As the Ack! dAck! only accepts 44KHz/16-bit, the card doesn't have to oversample and the card should be able to output 44KHz/16-bit if I tell it to, and nothing...

    Invention turns houseplants into speakers

    I don't care what people will say, I want my plant/speaker-thing to be a grapevine! Therefore giving Creedence Clearwater Revival's song I Heard It Through The Grapevine a new meaning!

    Connecting your amp to the soundcard...I do not know how to do this.

    Sansui z-5000x?

    I'm using a Sansui AU-666 as my current headphone amplifier. Although it isn't designed as one, it does a good job and thanks to the builtin phono stage I don't have to use an external one. And when I upgrade my amp I'll likely also upgrade my phono stage, so that'll be a bit expensive and...

    What kind of water do you drink?

    I drink from the tap only. Water from the tap here in Holland is better than most bottled water, our tap-water is one of the best in the world (right next to some Scandinavian country I believe ). Bottled water is in general a weird concept, because most of the time the sources of that water are...

    Anime OST Recommendations

    Many suggestions have already been given in this thread, but doesn't stop me to back them up! The Noir OST is very nice, I always found it kind of a mix between classical and techno (especially Salve Nos) and is a good score. Crest of the Stars (Seikai no Monshou) is a soundtrack which I...

    Thunderbirds are Go!

    I absolutely love Thunderbirds, but this movie seems to me...unneeded. For crying out loud, it doesn't even have puppets! There are some things you just don't mess with, and Thunderbirds is one of them! Stop ruining my childhood heroes!

    CD3K vs HD650 on vinyl surprise!

    Although I've never heard the HD650 (yes, shame on me ) I'm extremely content with my CD3k in combination with vinyl, it has a certain synergy which has 'schwing'. I always would suspect that a HD650 would be a better match for vinyl, but when I had the money I took a deep dive and went for the...

    25 minutes to audition equipment, what music do you use?

    Well, because 25 minutes isn't much time and I'm such a big Steely Dan fan, I present to you; Ivion's super-deluxe-special-25-min-uber Steely Dan audition! We kick in with Aja! With this song we'll test the synergy of the system, if it's liquid, harsh, fluffy, smushy, whatever. This song...

    What internet browser(s) do you use?

    I use Firefox, it's simply uber-fast on my Linux box. And it's W3C compliant, which is a good thing!

    What are you listening to _right now_?

    Steely Dan with My Old School...on vinyl! Everytime I hear Steely Dan on vinyl I realise why I love my records so much.

    How about a European Head-Fi meeting,

    It really depends when the next one will be, and where. If I have my drivers license when the next one occurs and it is within reasonable distance (like where this meet was *hint* ); I'll definetly be there!

    Vinyl Storage

    Thanks alot for the replies so far. Is there a reason why having vinyl stored horizontally is worse then having them stored vertically at a 90 degree? Because both methods seem to prevent the warping of LP's, or am I missing something? Quote: Originally Posted by Audio Addict In...

    Vinyl Storage

    I think this is the correct forum, but if it isn't I apologize. Anyway... I was wondering, my moderately big LP collection (200 to 300 LP's, haven't really counted them ) is getting difficult to maintain, so I'm looking for a way to easily store my LP's and make them more manageable. Right...

    Darkest Desires PART IV

    Well, sparked by your hospitality () I will try to chat along in this thread. Like DarkAngel already mentioned, I simply love 'Beyond the Veil' by 'Tristania', I don't have any other albums by Tristania though. I'm planning on buying the rest, but are they also good and are they in any way...

    Darkest Desires PART IV

    It's more like that I don't have as much experience as most of those who post in this thread, so my post would add little value to this thread. This thread also seems to be very Dark/Death Metal orientated and that isn't exactly my favorite genre and because of that I don't have much to type...

    So who's getting a WOODY ?????

    I'm currently torn between Lacewood and Zebrawood, both are beautiful, yet I like the appearance of Lacewood more. But according to the description of Zebrawood it'll increase the bass and that is something which I think will definitely add value to the CD3k. But Lacewood is so beautiful and...
