Quote: Nice, they've got a location right by me. I'll have to stop by sometime this week.   And Your LCD-2's are a newer model one, like mine, but the wood on yours does look better.  

Quote:   DUDE! Nice work. I knew it was only time until someone took my idea to the next level.   Where'd you get your hands on that wood? It looks awesome.   PS. The wood casing on your LCD-2's look really good too. Are they from a newer order batch?    

Quote: I'm not sure about your source, because I don't know much about it, but I had a similar situation as you BEFORE I got my DAC.   I was going without a DAC for a while, to fund for the StageDAC, and even with the high gain on my Concerto alone, I had to go real high on the volume...

Quote: HAHAHAHA! I know me too, but for some reason I caught my self bobbin' my head, and then a second later, I start to think, "Oh crap..."

Akon - I Wanna **** You

Hey guys, I just took a look at the DI, and I don't want to be ripped for asking this, but I'm not sure what it's use is.   Looking at it, it almost seems like a usb to spdif converter, which if it is, that definitely seems like a good value when compared to the hiface.

Before, I really disliked Jack Johnson.   But after hearing how good some of his songs sound through headphones, it's hard to avoid listening to him every now and then.

I wasn't asking to base any decisions on opinions, just out of curiosity. I've decided to just stay with both pulse and oversampling on the bottom.   One thing I did change, after some good listening, was my tonal balance setting. I used to keep it on the top setting, but with the LCD-2's...

Quote:   I love Bizarre Love Triangle, by New Order! I haven't really ventured to deep into the new wave genre though. Any suggestions?    

Gosh, no love for this thread?

Quote: That wasn't a direct quote or anything. I just remember it saying something like that, while having the two on the middle settings is supposed to sound most analog.  

Just like the title says... I've got two of them.    First, America - Only In Your Heart. I remember driving around with my dad, when I was a kid, with him listening to America, and out of all the ones I remember, this one I somehow forgot about. I heard it today and I was so happy to...

What settings have you guys found yourself using for Pulse and Oversampling?   I went with both on the bottom, just because the user manual said it would give it that tradition dac signature...   So I was just curious to see what other owners have been using.

Quote: I think you should be just fine. When I had mine, I would always leave mine on to avoid having to warm it up and it never got too hot.

I thought I had heard enough of Katy Perry, with that "Firework" song playing on every commercial EVER, but I stumbled upon something...   Noisia took her song and did a great remix of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTzQ2APsJXk   (Just wait til it gets to 1:20 into the song...)  ...

when you're able to tell a male that he's got a nice set of cans.

Quote: HAHA! Well you have an awesome rig, so that's not doubtful. I've gotta hear that Omega 2 someday...  

Quote: HAHA, damn that's a good one.   Here's mine:   When you've managed to spend close to $2500 on audio gear since losing your job.

Quote: Good point. This is where, I think, a lot of the subliminal head bobbing stems. These songs get slowly embedded in our heads, and then one day, we find ourselves singing back, and saying, "Oh god, I just knew the words to this song".   

Quote: Yeah man! And you're wallet won't hate you for it either.   

I also wanted to add that in terms of sound leakage and interruption, the LCD-2's are both quite leaky and easily interrupted. I know at night when I get to listen to my LCD-2's, in complete silence, I do believe that they demonstrate nice headstage and clarity. It's when I'm in a room, where...

Quote: Thanks man! I'm hoping to see someone take my idea to the next step. With the creativity of some of the guys on this forum, I can only imagine what's next.  

Quote:   You're right. The StageDAC can't be set on the bottom setting while listening to 96khz, and that's what the fuzz was about.   I'm wondering what the best setting is (considering 95+% of my music is 44.1khz, not 96khz).   My guess is to leave computer outputting 44.1...

Quote: Gosh man, that's one of those ones that's not necessarily a crappy song, but when I find myself enjoying it, I just think of the goons singing it at the top of their lungs.   But hey, hopefully you're not saying Blonde Redhead is crappy. I enjoy a lot of the stuff they've come...

Hey guys, another question for you.   I was listening to some music today in 96khz through the StageDAC, and realized that my computer was outputting 44.1khz, so I went to my MIDI setup to change the output to 96khz, and the song became fuzz. Than I looked over at the StageDAC and I realized...
