The output on my DAC designs is so much like a tube in SQ, that I started planning a headamp that is truly balanced based on the same design. It think it would be nice to have an alternative to good tubes, that is not tubes. I like tubes and even have tube SET monoblocks for my speakers, but...

I am a manufacturer and I usually dont do headphones, but I have been invited to a local high-school to exhibit for their science fair.  I am excited to teach a little here and encourage more students to pursue science and math careers. I plan to demonstrate the differences in SQ between MP3...

AudiogoN Forums: WAV or Apple Lossless Encoder? Those that are ripping thousands of CD's using iTunes to Apple-Lossless might be wasting their time. Steve N Empirical Audio

A Customer of mine has been doing a lot of experiments for me to determine the best-possible computer playback, both at 44.1 and upsampled to 24/96. His early testing with 44.1 tracks showed that ALAC files streamed WiFi to an AirPort Express or Apple-TV were inferior in sound quality to the...

I am curious how many use only the S/PDIF output and dont use the analog outs on the 0404 USB 2.0 module or the add-in card. This would be to drive an external DAC. This is an interesting product because it evidently uses a different protocol for USB than most USB converters, with an...

Is there a headphone and head-amp site that delivers reliable reviews that you can base your purchase decisions on?

I have relabeled all of my .wave files so they play with WMP. And yet, when I accidently double-click on a .wav file in Windows Explorer, the current playlist in Foobar gets deleted and replaced with the one .wav file. Blows away the playlist. Really irritating. What do I need to do to stop...

This is a first for the internet. 24-bit/96kHz remastered tape-generated files available for downloading. This music is a MUST download. Some of these tracks are famous performances that are highly sought after. If you have an Off-Ramp Turbo or Turbo2, Off-Ramp I2S or a Transporter, you can play...

Anyone know if there is a player the can be installed on MAC that passes 24/96 data or upsamples to 24/96?

I tried this yesterday and the light just stays yellow. The laptop indicates an active network...

I can play 24/96 through a Transit using Foobar and ASIO4ALL, but it seems that no matter where I set the buffering settings, after 5-10 tracks in my playlist, it starts to pop. It seems even worse when I run 16/44.1. If I play just single tracks or a couple of tracks, no problems. Has anyone...
