For sure, I'm the biggest fan of the DAC1, owning one from the very beginning on. I switched three times and I think they changed the sonic signature over time...... but still.... why don't they offer a remote????!!! There was even a time, when I thought about modifying my DAC.... but...

For me, the Stuttgart-system seems perfect, faster and more comfortable than bike (loveley Focus Mountain-Bike) or best car (Porsche, Mercedes or Smart)...... .... still, I use the car, because music-installation is nice

seems a configuration-problem: Do you use Asio with foobar? If so, it is possible that your soundcard does not offer direct-sound and asio-playback at the same time... Kind regards

I also thought about a mac-mini with an external hd for some time.... but I kept my well-equiped pc with RME etc.... A better player "could" be the mplayer, which offers good quality with linux at least http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html maybe vlc-player is also an option?

I love this device, because setup is easy and it has everything needed: http://www.netgear.com/products/details/SC101.php cheers Andreas

wow, few months ago a few shops still offered it.... still, I found one German online-shop having it listed: http://www.computer4music.de/index.html?P_281.htm Maybe this helps. In any case shipping over the channel will be easier then over the atlantic, I guess. cheers, Andreas

the best way I know, is to play it back as a copy, which might be illegal, depending on the country someone lives in. Andreas

Hi, what do you think: is it possible to enhance the DA10 by a remote-control for the volume? Andreas

I am a lot working with changing sample-rates and that is why, I search a better driver: if it doesn´t work, I will get another card. cheers Andreas

anybody tried?

Hello together, I am proud owner of a DAC1, which I am very happy with... today I bought myself a new amplifier and sold my integrated one: Now I am controlling the volume directly with the DAC1, which works good, but I miss the remote-control: Is there any DAC with a remote-control out...

Hallo, did somebody of you ever tried to replace the potentiometer in the DAC1? I already built a little preamp in the past, but used for this approach some remote-controlable alps and I would like to to the same thing with my DAC1. cheers, Andreas

Hello Head-Fi, for something like a year I am working on my PC-jukebox. I even programmed my own jukebox-software which controls foobar of my palm and pocket-pc. Only problem I was worrying, was the soundcard.... I tried Ap2496, tried 040, ESI Waveterminal... everything was fine, it...
