    Massdrop x THX AAA™ 789 Linear Amplifier - Impressions Thread

    The input rca's are parallel linked to output pass through rca pair. A nice convenience if your DAC of choice has only one pair of rca outputs. This allows running a DAC with only one output rca set to another device without plugging and unplugging cables The pass through rca pair output on...

    Creative Sound blaster E5 - Headphone amp + USB DAC with OTG + Toslink + aptX + recording + more.

    Finally it's portable [enough]. So nice having SBX/EQ and profile save files at the tablet instead of handing off to a laptop or desktop. Next a 'micro to micro usb and see how that goes.

    Creative Sound blaster E5 - Headphone amp + USB DAC with OTG + Toslink + aptX + recording + more.

    Yes, thank you. Maybe Creative could give more details on that X7 rig too. No snark at all intended. More power supply and capability maybe a next or additional unit step.

    I'm new too. Same stuff, E5 / HD 650 / AT M50x. When my HD 650 was shipping, O2 was next but confusing on builds and price spreads, then I grabbed a deal on E5. Little later some portable headphones. I have to ask, do you feel you're missing something from the combo? Both those headphones w/...

    Manufacturer participating in thread? What steepness are slopes for 'Bass Cut-off' setting? Is 'bass cut off' a crossover? How many custom equalization curves can be stored? Is there any full tuorial on SBX? [Short ones on youtube say little]

    Creative Sound blaster E5 - Headphone amp + USB DAC with OTG + Toslink + aptX + recording + more.

    I could only apply equalization via the 'Poweramp' app on my Android tablet. The adjustment only applied to music from internal memory & spare SDdrive. Poweramp allowed me to preset each IEM & Headphone with its own custom curve ... yet again .. limited to music from tablet + SDcard. I really...

    Creative Sound blaster E5 - Headphone amp + USB DAC with OTG + Toslink + aptX + recording + more.

    Thanks HotIce, thanks CZEddie. Used a Vista machine to try out SBX. SBX is like the Poweramp app on my Android tablet, whereas the Poweramp is limited to 128 gig onboard library. The SBX allows anything usb access to EQ and soundstage manipulation. I could use that on a lot of listening here...

    Hoping for manufacturer participation in these few threads of which this is the best. Soundblaster E5 SBX to Windows XP? Does it exsist? Will it exsist? Both still very new. E5 is driving HD 650 cans so cleanly to have experienced listening sessions where I discovered I had listened too loud...

      Never tried the Insignia's small curved side wall 2 way .. was it just cap on tweeter? The Pioneer BS-22LR IMO is the best value book shelf from A.Jones Pioneer partnership. Happens maybe twice annual and they go quick. So I just snapped up a warehouse set since I didn't open my email to...

    Heh, all natural 1/2 past sleepy brain.   I missed a quote grab for reference. Late study HD650 + HP amp archives ... easier late during holidays. Occasional refresh on 'deals thread'.. I didn't want to repost the large images. That HiFiMan amp just struck me a bit James Bond or Austin Powers...

      IMO, Aurvana IEM3 deserve more attention, a $60 bargain. Got some for $60 last blk friday and have been thinking a spare set. I like them enough to have the ''what if they break'' anxiety. The skinny cord [no volume or pause] has held up so far. The dual BA easily beat my former Single BA UE...

    OJdaJuiceman   Thanks for the heads up, I may have picked up the HD650's deal from your cart feast6   HariBhushan   Thank you both that's where I'll start my search. I want to get optimal performance on the cheap, or stay under Mjolnir budget range. I could make the balanced cables...

    The waitlist might not be long. On it at 5:18. Previous poster posted said going to drop the deal from cart. A page refresh showed 96% instead 100%. Another refresh and a wait-list pop-up box said less than two minutes available. Supposed to be on the way now... it's been all IEM's up to this...

    Cambridge DACMagic, anyone? (THREAD II)

    Yes that'd work too. Right now it's on dedicated lines with a breaker box just a few feet away.

    Cambridge DACMagic, anyone? (THREAD II)

    I used to power up roughly an hour before. However due to a very finicky power switch and my resistance to send it back for warranty repair I leave it on now. Consistently good sound this way.
