Quote:   That's my only grumble really. Is this likely to be 'fixed' at any point or is it not possible / not being worked on? zeitfliesst, a a temporary alternative, I bought a cheap FM Transmitter on eBay that plugs into the 9v socket in my car and has a 3.5mm cable that connects to...

  I have a playlist that's 25'000 in size ... it's a dynamic playlist of all my music shuffled. That way I cycle through a good chunk of my music and surprise myself with some long forgotten gems.   Of course, the flip side is I sometimes have to skip about 30 tracks in a row to get to a...

I don't want to spam this thread with an irrelevant query - and I think this is relevant as I've read through all (so far) 47 pages. I wondered if someone could give me any advice regards iPod accessories for an iPod Classic 160gb (older, fat version) using Rockbox.   I've currently got...

  Quote:   SPOT ON middachten! - Now I get it  Regards your advice - do you know of something like the X2 that would be worth looking in to? I'd be happy to try the X2 but the Airport Express (although it has a USB port) only outputs through optical.  Thanks for the info though...

Thanks for the reply ninjikiran, So with your comment:   Quote: and earlier comment:   Quote:   So......Delta Sigma based DAC's such as the D1 reclock, BUT according to attenuated 3db's assertion   Quote:     ....the D1 DOESN'T reclock. I'm confused ...

Sorry ninjikiran - you lost me  lol   If you can dumb-it-down that'd help  - in essence, are you saying that the D1 is an R-2R based design and as such would need something like attenuated 3db's Teralink X2 to reclock the jitter from the Airport Express (Optical) which might alter (improve)...

Following middachten's post above, I've ordered an OP249. Should have it in a week or so. I'll post how this goes and maybe a follow up post with the OpAmps and Tube combinations I have for reference.   Anyway, regards JITTER and the TubeMagic I've read a few posts on other forums...

Wow, never used imageshack - good call Ultrainferno  I couldn't use the multi-uploader (think it's my companies proxy server) so uploaded one by one:   http://img714.imageshack.us/i/5670cv4013madeinengland.jpg/ http://img171.imageshack.us/i/superradiotron031.jpg/...

I recently bought a tube on eBay but I don't know what it is - in terms of manufacturer / quality / rarity etc - I can't seem to find it listed anywhere. Sounds good though! - Very warm and silky smooth treble.   Anyone have any ideas? I tried to attach a picture but got a message back...

Hi Guys,   I've so far swapped the stock chinese tube for 1x cryogenically frozen Russian 6N3P (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CRYO-SUPER-LIFE-6N3P-E-Hi-Fi-AUDIO-TUBE-2C51-5670-/300353336777?pt=UK_Consumer_VintageAudio_RL&hash=item45ee7435c9#ht_4674wt_1334). The seller said it was up there with the...

Anyone know the difference between LME49720NA and LME49720HA. I can source an 'NA' one in the UK cheaply, but am struggling to find a HA - is there a sonic difference? Similarly, is the OPA2107 sonically the same as the OPA627 - again I've read a few things on these forums but don't really...

Quote: That would be fine. Since the D1 has a 0.25 inline fuse then any power cord / fuse combination should work fine. I had an old IEC cable with 13A fuse and it works a charm for me!

Hi uelover   Quote:   Ahhh, I see you have updated your post as I was typing a reply    Thanks!

Quote:   Actually I use my Receiver for a lot more than stereo music - I watch films and TV through it so not a total waste  It's just for music I prefer a nice warm stereo sound, but don't have space/money for a stereo amp - not without getting rid of my movie surround sound!   I...

WOW, I've just looked at the OPA627 here in the UK. It seems to be upwards of £25 ($40). I've found two OPA627's and am not sure of the difference between the AP and BP suffixes (except one is more money).   http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/displayProduct.jsp?sku=1212318&CMP=e-2072-00001000...

Thanks uelover,   My understanding is that if ANY sound processing is performed that the signal has to follow a digital path (ADC?) and then of course be converted back to analogue. So what I was saying (and I may be wrong) is that if I add an audio effect such as increasing bass or...

Haha.... interesting links, although at present I feed my audio through optical, so am not sure I would greatly benefit, but thanks anyway!   Slightly off-topic, but .... personally I know little about OSX either, I have 2x Apple Airport Express's as they're a cheap/convenient was to stream...

Wow, cool. Thanks. I guess that answers the heat question sufficiently. Now to the REAL troubleshooting..........   Having now plugged it in and played with it, I have to say I'm a bit disappointed!!  I seem to have an annoying and constantly present static /clicking noise. It's...

  Quote: LOL.... I checked and it reads 230v (I think), and I didn't flick it to the other-position, but I'm guessing that would read 110v or something. I'm very cautious ever since flicking the input-supply switch on an old VCR years ago. The result was purple smoke (capacitors?) and...

YAY! I got my D1 today. I've been unable to try it out so far for two reasons. First, I zipped back home on my lunch break and only had 5minutes to unpack it and take a look before I had to get back. Secondly, it come with a non-uk terminated plug. I believe it simply requires a UK IEC...

Just to add, I was originally looking at the Beresford 7520 and the upgraded 'Caiman' version. It's hard to find many comparisons between the D1 and the Beresford units.   There is one interesting article...

For anyone else in the UK that wants an LM4562   http://markgrantcables.co.uk/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=48_31&products_id=111   At time of writing £6.09 delivered (as a comparison for our US cousins, that's about $10)

WOW, Thanks again for the responses attenuated 3db and ninjikiran. You guys ROCK!   Taking the advice you both mention I think I'll go for some LM4562's, as you said attenuated 3db, there's no point buying one if they're so inexpensive, and as you mention ninjikiran if the LM4562's give...

  Hi All,   I just ordered a stock D1 from Ryan and am looking at replacement tubes and opamps. I'm in the UK and have found a local(ish) supplier of suitable tubes (see an earlier post) but just need to know what opamps to swap out - I've made notes after reading ALL 148 pages of this...
