    New DAC - distorts when turning up volume on player

    So I just received a Bel Canto DAC 1 and I plugged it in, it sounded good, warm sounding and full of bass. Unfortunately, I began to hear distortion. When I use my other DAC, the Beresford, I keep Foobar2k on full volume and everything seems to sound great. But when I plugged in the BC it has...

    Beresford TC7510 vs BC DAC 1 vs CIAudio VDA-1 w/ VAC-1?

    I know the BC DAC-1 and the CIAudio stuff are old, but does anyone have any comparisons between these at all? I currently have the Beresford TC7510 MK6, and I was wondering if either of their setups would pose as an upgrade? I like detailed/airy but with a full lower end. Also like warmer...

    Sennheiser IE7 Appreciation Thread ~~~

    Who else loves their IE7? I sure do! Soundstage is amazing and they are pretty forgiving on bad recordings... which I unfortunately have a lot of. The bass is very present yet very punchy, but I do still need to EQ up the bass and treble. The warm sound signature makes me happy, I am starting...

    Gamma 1 USB vs Soundcard

    So I've never owned a soundcard before (an aftermarket one). I was wondering how a soundcard, like an x-fi or auzen would sound in comparison to the Gamma 1 via USB. Any comparisons between Gamma 1 and the DAC portion of the Pico as well? Please take into consideration my setup: PC ->...

    Panasonic SL-SX300

    Anyone have any experience with this unit? I was digging around my closets and found this old old CD player still in almost perfect condition! On the backside, it dates May 1998, so that's basically 11 years old! How surprising. I can't find any batteries right now so I can't check out how...

    DAC SQ from 3.5mm vs RCA

    Is there a difference at all if the output on a DAC was coming out from a 3.5mm socket and a RCA socket? Power capacities or anything? Thanks.

    Motherboard output options

    Hey, I'm kind of new to the computer audio scene and I've been trying to get a DAC for quite some time. I have only been considering USB DACs recently, but today I took a look at the back of my computer and it seems like it has SPDIF and optical out as well. I was wondering how these would...

    What's the longest your PK1 and PK3 have run before they broke?

    My PK3's bass on one side seems to rattle after like half a month. Pretty disappointed so I will be sending them in either for a replacement or refund. I also have the PK1, I was wondering what's the longest someone has used these before they stopped working? Just wondering about the...

    Minibox F vs other amps

    Anyone have any experience with the Minibox F and are able to compare them with any other amps? I know the Minibox E+ is an incredibly good sounding amp, but how about its little brothers F and D? If anyone have any personal experience with these, let me know. I've searched around, no ones...

    S639F vs I7 vs H120/320

    Anyone have experience with either 2 or 3 of these together? I currently have the Sony and the Cowon. The Sony seems to play louder and have a slightly larger soundstage. They are both warm DAPs and I honestly can't really tell much of a difference between the sounds of the two besides that...

    RCA to 3.5mm cable choices

    So, I was wondering if you guys knew the differences between these and which ones would be the best. Right now I'm kind of leaning towards the Ultralinks because I like AV123, but let me know otherwise, thanks. Ultralink/XLO Matrix Series interconnects...

    PK2 Sound Signature

    Can someone describe the sound signature of the PK2s? I wasn't really ready to get some earbuds, but I saw a pair for the price of a PK3 so I decided to hop on it. I guess I shouldn't be wearing IEMs at school anyways, people call my name and I never respond. I've seen people see PK3 has...

    1/8 to 1/8 adapter? POSSIBLY??

    Hey, I know this is a REALLY absurd (stupid) question, but is there a 1/8 to 1/8 adapter? I got the new Westone ES cable for my Super fi's and the ANNOYING this is that this new plug wont go in completely with the plastic case on my Sony. So I'm hoping theres an adapter thats thinner that...

    Best amp with DT770 Pro/80

    Anyone know any good amps for DT770 Pro 80 Ohm? Will be running it from my computer. I know these cans might not need an amp, but I'm guessing an amp would always help, not sure how significantly. Either way, throw me some suggestions, thanks.

    Etymotic ER4P better than ER6i?

    So I have a pair of ER6i's right now that I have been using for 2-3 years. The connector at the bottom finally put out, and I have attached a new head onto it, but when I twist the connector when its in the jack, I can hear a lot of static and basically the connection isn't good enough...
