Thanks for the response. I'll give it a shot and see if it works.

I haven't been able to google up any good info on this myself for some reason, so I turn to head-fi... I'm working on a project where I want to repurpose a digital output. I have a device that has a dock with an optical out. I'd like to intercept the digital signal before it goes into the...

So I got my 7000s yesterday, and I have to ask what feels like a total n00b question: Are the wood cups supposed to feel like... well... wood? These things almost feel plastic when I tap them with my finger nail. If they are wood it seems like it's about half a mm of wood with about 1 mm of...

Rockabilly, DooWop, 1950's, christmas music, rap and trance.... what, no polka? That is a pretty diverse set of tastes you have there.

ROFLMAOWAFFLES w/ syrup This is just comical now. Your thread got BANT because nobody wanted to hear it, so you just start up an identical one? Take the hint. Cease thine douchosity. Reclaim what shreds of dignity you have left. Also, you want to know something that is genuinely ironic...

Okay, shut off the Zune software and connect your zune to your PC. Open your start menu, right click on "computer" and then select "properties". In the window that comes up there will be a link on the left called "device manager", click this. In the window that pops up you should be...

Are you running vista?

okay go to device manager, select the zune (or unknown device), right click and say "Update Driver Software" Then select the option to browse your computer for the driver, and point it to C:\Program Files\Zune\Drivers. Does that make it work?

I actually just picked up the 7000s from J&R for $699. Be here on Wednesday. Now I'm trying to talk myself out of the m902. How come I never hear Creek headphone amps talked about on head-fi? I've got a couple friends that love them... are they not considered to be mustard cutting?

Okay, just ordered the 7000s from J&R for $699. Be here Wednesday... I'm all giddy. Now I'm trying to talk myself out of getting that m902... Couple friends of mine like Creek headphone amps quite a bit, but I never see them mentioned here... what's the deal with that?
