    JVC HP-DX1000 Owners Unite!

    I bought replacement earpads from audiocubes, but they have no instructions. Is there a video or web page somewhere that explains how to replace?

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    Everything's set to full volume.   I get an immediate "error 4" in both Chrome and IE when trying to play mp3s on Amazon.   I get no audio with videos in either browser on youtube and various news sites.

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    Spoke too soon. All that did was make the test tone work.   Still can't get any sound when playing mp3s on Amazon.   I'm about to move to a different PC. Maybe it will work better there.

    THANK YOU! That was all it took. And it explains why it had worked, then didn't, then did, etc.

    I'm shutting down JRiver, not just minimizing it.   Currently in control panel -> sound -> manage audio devices the only device listed is:   Speakers 2 - OPPO HA-1 USB AUDIO 2.0 DAC Default device   In device manager -> sound, video and game controllers, these are disabled:   High...

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    I only have one device for sounds, and it's the HA-1. All other drives are disabled.   Volume is set to 100% on all sliders.   JRiver is shut down.   I had assumed that Windows would use the ASIO driver, and sent sound to the HA-1, same as when JRiver sends sound to the HA-1.   This has...

    It's baaaack.   Nothing changed in settings, back to not hearing any Windows sounds, no youtube, yet JRiver plays digital audio files without a problem.   Changing the HA-1 driver to non-exclusive has no effect.

    Odd. I clicked around in some of the sound-config dialogs and it started working. No idea what I changed.

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    Ran into a bizarre problem with sound in any browser on my PC.   For example mp3 samples on Amazon, which I use (or used to use before this problem) to decide what CDs to buy.   When I click on a sample, in Chrome or Internet Explorer, it immediately says error 4, and there is no sound.  ...

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    Let me see if I can correctly summarize, with questions:   Case 1:   -- Start with unit unplugged from USB and with volume turned off (unit turned off).   -- Plug into USB.   -- Turn on unit.   -- Unit will draw power from USB.   -- If using USB port with sufficient power, battery...

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

      Makes sense.   Is the idea behind running off battery that it produces cleaner power? If so, it sounds like NORMAL mixes battery and USB power, so whatever improvements could be had from just battery are forfeited anyway.   Regarding the iUSB power supply, I didn't see anything on iFi's...

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    Interesting! I want one...   What are the cable connections for a laptop with the audio files and JRiver, the iDSD, and an iUSB. Is there a diagram somewhere? None of the manuals on their site seems to show how to hook it up.

      What is an iUSB power supply?   I have been connecting the iDSD to my work laptop with the supplied blue USB cable.   Is there a different/better charger I should be using?

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    It was not turned off before storage. Didn't think of that (forgot it even has a battery).   I had accidentally moved the switch to Eco mode, which is when the light came back on.   So now it all makes sense. Thank you!   I wish there was a way to bypass battery entirely, because this...

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    My iFi iDSD Micro no longer works.   I plug it into USB and the little blue light on the top near the back goes on for about one second, then goes off.   There is no sign anything is happening.   If I try to play music, JRiver says it doesn’t see the device.   I had the Micro in a drawer...

    Oppo PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphone Impressions Thread

    I have some of the same trouble. It's unfortunate.   The most comfortable headphones I own are JVC-1000s. Make you look like Princess Leia, but the bass is excellent, and you can wear them all day. They're closed-back, and I use them at work. They're thick enough they work about as well as...

    The stand from Oppo fits perfectly, and looks way better in person than in any photos I saw online.

    Oppo PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphone Impressions Thread

    I have a pair of these excellent headphones. Now I want to get a stand for them. Has anyone tried a Sieveking Omega with the PM-1s? I like the way it looks better than the plastic stand from Oppo, but (presumably) the stand from Oppo fits the contour exactly.   The measurements for...

    Why can't I create a want-to-buy classified post?

    Oh. I've been a member for more than 30 days, but only have a couple of posts.   Thanks for the explanation.   By the way, in case anyone's interested, there's a seller on ebay for the item I wanted, and he says he has more than ten of them.   It's the Shanling PCD3000A.

    Why can't I create a want-to-buy classified post?

    As you can see, I can create a post in this thread, which means I can create posts in general.   But for some reason, when I attempt to create a post in the "source components for sale or trade" forum, it says I'm over the limit for creating posts in that thread. But when you look in...

    JVC HP-DX1000 Owners Unite!

    Finally the DX-1000s I ordered from Japan showed up. Played them at work today. Sounded okay--better than what I'd been using. Then came home and plugged them into our SACD player and thought I'd died and gone to paradise. Unbelievable sound. Now I need to figure out how to get that same sound...

    Simple inexpensive foolproof organizer for headphone cord

    That's what I love about the Internet--it fosters useful, adult, diplomatic, supportive communication. Like when someone says hey, this is really cool, I'm stoked about it, thought you might be interested too, and someone replies hey, thanks for sharing.
