Need Dynahi power supply. Preferably just the pcb unless you have a populated on you aren't using. Thanks

Just got a pair from Buy.com and I got to say they aren't bad at all. Lets put it this way, I've heard < $50 iems that sound worse (and if you include the Bose iem, then these sound better then $100 iems). At first they were gritty and a bit peaky in the upper trouble but they settled down with...

ASIO4ALL are my settings right for winXP?  

I need your opinion for a truly balanced integrated amp (not one that just accepts balanced xlr and converts it, balanced all the way through). Hopefully something < $600 used. Just don't know what's out there that is balanced and sounds great.

1. Connecting the grubdac to the carrie, do I connect the OG pads of the grub to the OG pads of the carrie (2 located next to the caps)? 2. aside from the 5v usb to the carrie 5v in, do I need to connect the 0v from the usb (which is located on the grub) to the carrie? Thx

I built it with the wima caps. I think it sounds a little thick/dark, missing air. Is this how it is? Vista -> Foobar -> ASIO_4_ALL (also tried just whatever windows recognized it as instead of ASIO) Here are my ASIO settings. Are they correct?

Every so often I’ll be walking through the audio aisle at the local electronics retailer to see what new products are available. On one of these visits, I noticed a pair of Monster Cable in-ear monitors (IEM); could it be, Monster was now in the business of producing IEMs? I guess so. As many of...

Funny how things work out in this hobby. When I first came to head-fi.org all I was after was finding a decent pair of headphones that cost no more then $50, which at the time seemed like an outrageous amount for a pair of headphones; oh how true the old head-fi adage, “Welcome to Head-fi.org...

found it in the carpet!

looking for the latest rev Grubdac unpopulated grub board. Thanks

Wondering if anyone one has a functional spare PCM2707PJT. Cant get it from mouser as they are out. Shipping at digikey is about the cost of the part

Try to decide from a sound perspective which is better. Assume the default good output caps on the Bantam (I think Wima or Vishay MKT).

I've searched and couldn't find anything concrete. So what's a good optical out sound card < $50? Trying to avoid buying a hi-face for two reasons, cost and my dac's coax input is used by my cd transport.

Looking for a somewhat affordable IEM that has the following characteristics: 1. Does not sound bloated (i.e overly boomy and/or rolled off highs) 2. Has very good to great detail in the highs 3. Mids that are not recessed but not too forward or honky sounding 3. Tight punchy bass. I'd...

Can anyone give any insight? Trying to decide which is a better iem. Never heard either.

A friend of mine needs to post a help wanted ad for his oil changed shop. I suggested posting in the local newspaper but he thinks thats too old school. Any online websites you recommend? Or other effective alternatives?

Can new BluRay players that play MP3 output via coax or optical? Just a thought, as this can potentially save one from having to buy a teradac/hiface. Anyone know?

Any way to convert 320k MP3s to WAV without it sounding like total rubbish?

Does anyone know how its terminated? Do they use 2 wires for ground or 2 for hot? Also what color wires did they choose to make ground (there is a red/blue/black wire)?

Anyone know anything about this thing? ESI - Dr. DAC nano

My JRC 4556AD based portable amp has a very high noise floor (I can hear quite a bit of hiss). Can I reduce this somehow or this inherent to this particular Opamp. Schematic similar to the following, too lazy to draw the exact schmatic I made for this thing.

I believe some of you may have heard or own these dacs, can anyone coment on them? I was going to splurge on a Audio-GD Ref1 until I got my tax bill . So back to the cheaper route . So just based off either your listening impressions or from a circuit technical aspect (like which is superior in...

Need affordable stereo stepped attenuator, any ideas? Even if it comes from Asia as long as its fairly good. <$45 unpopulated is my budget

Intro: After purchasing my Ipod, I quickly realized that the stock ear buds weren’t so great, so I was on a quest to find some earphones that sound decent and didn’t fall out of my ear every time I moved around. Unfortunately, however, my father became ill, and had to put my search temporarily...

I had the chance to hear a new pair of K701 using a RA-1 amp (battery powered) and IPOD and thought it was very bright (sometimes piercing) and had a lot of sibilance. Is this really the characteristic of the K701? Using the same songs on a pair of Koss KSC35 and HD650 didn't sound this way at...
