Hello, A dumb question: how do I know if I need ASIO4ALL when using Foobar2000 v0.9.1 with the foo_out_asio.dll component? For example, I'm using an M-Audio Firewire Audiophile (I have other cards, but this is what I have connected to my desktop speakers) and everything seems to work as...

Garbz, They added the diode going from rev. F (the one I just received) to rev. G (the one you see in the pics). Regards, Bryan

Any idea what D1's purpose is? I just received the next Transit to mod... it's a rev. F, with the only noticeable difference being the diode. Thanks, Bryan

Are there any ready-made solutions for USB-to-I2S? Does anyone sell PCBs for such a task? Thanks, Bryan

Garbz, From what I hear, a new PSU improves sound. I'm planning on using a Jung dropped to 5V on my new one... Also, I was planning to use a Tent XO3 on the new one as well. From my reading of the datasheet, you can simply disconnect the 24.576MHz clock from the TAS1020A and insert a new...

Actually the $38 was from Welbourne for the Bullets. It looks like Partsconnexion has the Bullets for $36 and the Basis for $27. BTW, why doesn't Eichmann list/describe the Basis on their site? Regards, Bryan

Who sells the Basis plugs cheap? I think the bullets go for $38 per set of 4. They are ugly as sin, but they are the only ones made of plastic... Thanks, Bryan

Maybe I should have clarified. I want the part that grips the shield (ground) to be plastic... like the Eichmanns. Quote: Originally Posted by firefox360 Well umm.. I'm guessing Radio Shack might sell a few? Can you provide a link? Quote: Originally Posted by...

Hello, Are there RCAs other than Eichmanns that have plastic housings? I'd like to get a list going if possible... Thanks, Bryan

Count me in... I look forward to it. Regards, Bryan

Dan pretty much summarized it... I usually go to HSC (Halted) near Central Expressway or Excess Solutions on Brokaw near Frys. ES seems to have more mechanical-type items (e.g., cable tie-downs, rubber feet, small heatsinks, etc.). Also note that there is a bunch of stuff overhead at ES that...

Dip16amp, Since you refuse to listen to theory, I suggest you let your ears be the judge. Where in CA are you? You are welcome to A/B the coaxial and optical inputs to the DAC1 fed by my Transit... see here: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=131150 As I mentioned in that...

So no one has made a switchbox, etc. that required quite a few cheap, isolated RCAs? Anyone... Thanks, Bryan

This is getting a bit O/T, but so are the last few posts, so why not... If you have access to a drill press, the most valuable tool you can purchase is a center drill (KEO if possible... EBay has quite a few). Use calipers to scribe an X at the desired location (a $15 set from i.e. Harbor...

Hello All, I need to source roughly 10 pair of cheap (i.e. under $3 a pair), isolated RCA bulkheads. The jacks must be well-made... i.e. make good connection to the center conductor. I want to skip all the gold-plated crap, because the coating on most RCA bulkheads, like Cardas to name one...

If you have the drive and money to build a Dynalo, I'd say go for it. It is probably the best bang for your buck. That being said, I haven't listened to the M3 in great detail, nor do I know how much it cost to build... hopefully I will experience both in the near future. So the M3 may be a...

It wouldn't hurt to read through that link I mentioned in my previous post... the time, pressure applied, and temperature are functions of the board size used. The smaller the board, the less you need of all three. Pressure is force per area, so the larger the board, the more force you will need...

Thought I'd include some pics of my etching tank... ~95% Walmart. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...9/Bubbler1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...9/Bubbler2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ttingClose.jpg Don't forget your latex gloves... Bryan

Rob, I posted my experience with toner transfer here: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showp...4&postcount=24. You can control toner flow by regulating heat and pressure with the iron. If you don't like it, then remove the toner with acetone or MEK and reapply. It's that easy... Regards, Bryan
