I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this to but considering the offending device is part of my HTPC and is sound related thought this would be the best forum to go with. My external Viewsonic N6 TV Tuner is hooked to my LCD Projector and the audio out goes straight to my amp...

All the Canadian online stores I have been to seem to only sell Sennheiser or Sony, Bose etc. I already have Sennheiser HD595 and want to try another brand like AKG, Beyer Dynamic, Grado etc. but no online stores up here seem want to sell those brands. The retail stores where I live are even...

I saw this DVD in my local music store and almost bought it but then thought I better get some opinions on it first. What's most important to me is that ii has good sound quality. Anyone have this that can answer my question? I know it's a sort of documentary but there are a bunch of live...

I really like her voice and only have the one song "Angel" on mp3. What would be the best album of hers to buy with a similar style to this song?

Anyone have an opinion on vUUm tube amps? I ask because I see London Drugs in western Canada has just started to sell one of their amps for a grand CAD. Will probably pop down to give it a listen but want to know if anyone has any of their equipment and what they think of them...

OK, I want to use the XLR out on the EMU 0404 to my amp RCA in as the unbalanced out I want to use to feed a powered sub. I have RCA cables of decent quality so really just need adapter to XLR. Is the below what I need? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...LR_Female.html

I've seen time after time people claim that Sennheiser HD595's don't need an amp because they are only 80ohm. I was using an EMU 0404 USB which has a ClassA amp in it but I wanted to see if adding an Audiolab 8000A made any difference. Well, it did. The bottom end opened right up and the sound...

...the musac at the supermarket store are old faves like New Order, Gary Numan etc. Seriously, lately the grocery stores I go to are playing songs from the 80's that were cutting edge in their day.

I have my EMU 0404 hooked to my X-Fi via coax SPDIF. When I want to listen to my headphones on the EMU 0404 X-Fi is sending the signal to SPDIF and analog out at the same time. I have to turn down the volume to off on my analog out so I don't hear it over both SPDIF and analog out. This is how...

I have an EMU 0404 USB connected to the X-Fi digital out and it works fine in XP but in Vista the EMU 0404 is never recieving a signal from the X-Fi. Vista shows SPDIF working and I can see the volume levels moving up and down to the music over SPDIF but the EMU is recieving no digital signal at...

Anyone know if EMU will release 64bit Vista drivers when they finally get around to releasing 32bit Vista drivers? If they don't I will be seriously pissed. I like Vista but I have three devices that don't have drivers and I would prefer 64bit drivers too. Luckily I dual boot XP/Vista so it is...

Just got this in my email. Hi, it's Tim from Pandora, I'm writing today to ask for your help. The survival of Pandora and all of Internet radio is in jeopardy because of a recent decision by the Copyright Royalty Board in Washington, DC to almost triple the licensing fees for Internet...

What's the best replay gain setting? Is none best and use the advanced limiter in dsp settings? Or should I use replay gain with clipping prevention and not use the advanced limiter? Or maybe both? I want to avoid clipping and have the best audio quality.

At this url http://www.ttvj.com/index.php?main_p...roducts_id=329 it says the following, "The HD 595 is the latest high end headphone delivered from the folks at Sennheiser. I recommend upgrading the cable with the Cardas or Stefan Audio Arts cable to even better the sound of the 600!"...

There was a post a while back asking for progressive rock recommendations. I can't find the thread now so started a new one. I have been listening to Pandora Radio and they played this band called IQ with a song from the album called The Wake. It's similar to Marillion and is quite good so any...

If anyone knows a crossfeed plugin for WinAmp/MediaMonkey I would appreciate the link so I can get crossfeed on my EMU 0404. I know I can get one for Foobar but I like MediaMonkey. MediaMonkey can use WinAmp plugins.

I'm using digtal out on my Santa Cruz to an EMU 0404 USB and am using directsound output because Santa Cruz doesn't support Asio. You think it would be worth it to get an AV-710 so I can have Asio support and bit perfect playback to the EMU 04040? Will that soundcard give me Asio in WindowsME or...

Finally got my hands on the EMU 0404 USB in Canada. They are not easy to find up here either. Had to order from Steve's Music in Montreal. I'm listening to Magazine on it right now via digital out of my TB Santa Cruz. Sounds smooth and clean and is a nice upgrade from both my Santa Cruz and...

I can't find one online Canadian retailer that sells EMU soundcards. Anyone know any with decent prices?

Anyone here have this DAC and would like to share their opinion of it's sound quality? Good price if it is decent. http://www.aegophile.com/products/minidac.htm

When I have my headphones on and no sounds playing through them I can hear my mouse when scrolling in my web browser. I can also hear the HDD when it is downloading a file. It is very faint but it is there and it bugs the hell out of me. I'm using an X-Fi XtemeMusic soundcard but I'm thinking...

I see posts saying they got the Heed CanAmp for $340.00. When I talked to Dan at Blackbird Audio via email a few days ago I was quoted $360.00+$20.00 shipping to Canada. Is that the current price you are all getting? Yes, I know it is "being" and not "beeing".

Any truth to this article? http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut00...vista_cost.txt I am mostly concerned about this part. "Vista's content protection mechanism only allows protected content to be sent over interfaces that also have content-protection facilities built in. Currently the...

I have the X-Fi ExtremeMusic version but have been thinking of upgrading to the Elite pro for the better DAC's and the breakout box. The breakout box would really help with my connectivity options. Does it sound much better than the X-Fi I already have though? I will be using it with...

Anyone know if this amp is decent for headphone usage? I can get a used one from a friend for a good price. http://www.artech-electronics.com/us...000amkiii.html
