    Headphone amp/dac that can be controlled via Mac keyboard +/- volume buttons??

    I am thinking about buying a tiny little DAC to replace my not-so-good headphone out on my MacBook. The Dr.Dac Nano / JAVS NanoS comes to mind because it is essentially all I need, USB in/minijack out. No buttons to push, no drivers, no problems.   My question is though, do any of you guys...

    Desktop USB headamp for Denon AH-A100 - nuForce?

    I have a setup were I store all my music as FLAC on a Mac. For that I currently use a big traditionally stereo system as DAC/headamp but want to make it simpler.   I have a wired Apple keyboard with USB 2.0 out and was thinking of getting a good quality USB simple USB amp, without paying...

    Witch is better... One WM8741 DAC or Two WM8740 DACs in serial of each other?

    Me and a colleague had a talk yesterday about witch solution should theoretically give the best sound:   One Wolfson WM8741 DAC chip as in my Arcam rDAC or... Two Wolfson WM8740 in serial as found in the upcoming DACMagic Plus from Cambridge Audio?     Another thing, what is the...

    Questions about improving the sound in Arcam rDAC?

      I have had my Arcam rDAC for quite some time now and think is a really good contender for a reasonably price. But Im wondering if it could be even better... First up, I would love to be able to play 192KHz files, but as Im doing it now thats just not possible, USB only allows up to...

    RCA Caps - great or waste of money?

    I'm currently using my NAD C165BEE pre-amp as my head-amp for a pair of Denon AH-A100. When I'm playing at very low volume I hear a little bit of cross talk and it really annoys me.   Had a talk with Greg, the head of product development at NAD, the other day and he suggested to use RCA...

    NAD C165BEE for Denon AH-A100

    I have the NAD C165BEE pre-amp I also use as a headamp for my Denon AH-A100's. The trouble is the A100 is more revealing than my Denon AH-D2000 was, so now I can hear there is some hiss/static in the C165...   Is there anyway to modify the C165 to get rid of that?   Im not into change...

    Sleeve the AH-A100

    I recently got the Denon AH-A100 headphone as a replacement for my almost 3 years older AH-D2000. One thing that stroke me at first sight is that the cable applied looks not even close to the finish of the overall product finish on AH-A100! Shame on Denon...   Made me think, is it possible...

    NAD C565BEE - is it a good DAC?

    I am the proud owner of a modified Mac Mini, the Black Mini, were I store my complete music library in both Flac and as AAC - AAC for the iPod and Flac for my Denon AH-D2000 cans. I recently upgraded my head-amp from a The Zero 2007 edition DAC/pre-amp combo to a NAD C165BEE pre-amp. Because...
