Hi, I plan on building a skeleton dac, and I was wondering how important are the smd resistor/cap values?  For instance, the BOM asks for a 20 pf cap, but would a 22pf cap work in its place?  What about resistors, would a 100 or 120 ohm resistor work in place of the 110 ohm resistor in the BOM? ...

For those who have a sansa fuze LOD, (or any LOD for that matter) and a fiio E5, how much volume do you need to use on the fiio to get acceptable volumes? Does it produce any hiss when using the fiio with an LOD? How loud is the max volume of a fiio e5 with an LOD? Please help!

Just two days ago my NE-7m was working perfectly, but when I put them in my ears to listen to some tunes yesterday, the right channel was completely dead. I think it might be a cable problem, because if I wiggle the right channel back and forth quickly, I hear music through it, but just for a...

Hello I am thinking about getting a D1001 and pairing it with an ibasso T4. I already have a sansa fuze at home. Do you think that the T4 would have good synergy with the D1001 or would a cheaper amp suffice? Thanks ahead of time.

Yesterday I accidentally got a couple of drops of water on my NE-7m. I took the tip off and let it dry out, and it seems to be working fine, but I was wondering if a little bit of water could of hurt the driver. I don't hear any difference in sound, but I just want to know if I could have...

Hello, I was wondering if I would get any SQ benifit from buying a FiiO E5 amp to go with my sansa fuze and NE-7m iem. Will I get any better soundstage, SQ, or clairity?

What is the best IEM I can get under $60? I was looking at the V-Moda Vibes, but I am still not sure. Please help me.

I am going to pair one of these with an AD700, and I don't care about the detachable cable. Is there anything sonically different that would make me buy the HOTUSB1 instead of the HOTUSB2 ?

I have $100 to spend, and I was thinking about the AD700, but I am afraid that it might be too big. I am only 13, but I do have a fairly large head (22" around my eyebrows across the tops of my ears and to the back of my head). What do you think?

I am planning on getting an AD700 soon, but I am unsure whether I should upgrade my soundcard too. Should I get a Refurbished X-fi Xtreme music for $50 or should I just keep my Soundblaster Audigy SE?

Hello, I have a question about the x-fi cards. I can get a recertified Xtreme Gamer on newegg for $51, or a refurbishied Xtreme Music from creative for $44. Which one should I choose and why? And by the way, I will probably be hooking up an AD700 to one of the soundcards mentioned above. I am...
