does anybody know if the 01USD can "bitstream" dts/dolby digital to a "decoder"?

Quote:   thank you for your insight. :)

@brokenthumb   between the HE500 and HD650, if you need to keep only one, which one will leave your house?

i had both HD650 and HD600 at the same time at one time before, i agree with @tdockweiler with:   Quote:   one guy from Jaben also said to me that the HD650 is more forward while the HD600 was more laidback... i have built a system around my HD650 and my system i think can power the...

Quote: i'll dream about the high-end amp/dac then, what i have now is what i can afford for now... so given the set-up i have now, would you reckon the HE-500 will be have the upper hand over to the HD650?  

Quote: no problemo amigo sire, enjoy your new toy =)  

Quote: can be either, you can set as fixed or variable...

Quote: Thanks a lot, now your comment rattles my curiosity on the HE-500 even more...  

how is the HE-500 compared to the HD650 hooked up with the Lyr? =)  

Quote: just wow! i have a HD650 running balanced through matrix mini-i and quattro amp, i'm planning to buy an HE-500 too... but reading this, i might not anymore, since i'll be using the HE-500 on the same balanced setup as the HD650...   would you like to elaborate more on...

i know they output signal at the same time... if you want to toggle between your speaker and your HP, just turn-off the one you'll not gonna use =)

probably JTam audio can enlighten us if there will be an updated version of teh lovely Mini-i..

have not tried yet, will do in when i have time then will report back =)

hi, just started to use the 01USD with Win7 64bit to matrix mini-i... i just noticed that the windows default is to send 32bit/44.1khz to the 01usd, i have to click 24bit/192khz everytime i restart my PC... is there a way to make 24/192 as default? it will not affect foobar because i'm using...

as mentioned in the last page, i have tested the AES/EBU vs toslink through the 01USD... as expected, the aes/ebu has more sparkle that the toslink, around 10% better i would say... for the price of the 01USD, the monoprice USB and AES/EBU to RCA cables, the subtle improvement is very...

yes, i reckoned the benefit from the usb/spdif from this thread as well so thank you guys for threatening my wallet hahaha   but i realized that the Stello U3 is a bit steep after the mini-i/quattro pruchase so i settled for the 01 usd, which has received favorable comments in this site as...

Currently burning in my Matrix mini-i, it has clocked around 50hours so far With the 4 digital inputs available, i'm currently using toslink connected to my Acer 3820tg. I have a musiland monitor 01 usd as well for future use in case my next laptop will not have spdif connection.   Now...

Quote: it's a spare packing stuff similar to the protective packing stuff that came with the mini-i and quattro... the blue is an anti-slip mat haha  

just did a DIY feet from scrap materials from the house     

i'm actually thinking of isolation feet or DIY spacers as well... will give my combo those as soon as i find/do some =)

^thanks, it contributes to the better sound quality :) btw, will it be a concern putting the Mini-i on top of the Quattro?

my balanced setup just arrived from TamAudio yesterday... that is the Matrix Mini-i, Quattro amp, high quality XLR and balanced HD650 cable... very nice guy and good seller... out-of-the box, it seems like my HD650 is on steriods! the soundstage has widened significantly, the bass is tighter...

just want to report that the N8 is compatible with the FiiO D5 USB DAC =)

from these: to these home mini-setup: FiiO D3 Hippo Box+ amp Nokia 5800xm interconnect (free haha) hmmm i dont' have golden ears!! there is no significant difference in sound using the same burned-in HD650, to my ears... except for more noticeable sssss and 10% less punchy...

@liamstrain @robzr   thanks a lot for the response and informative posts =)   Balanced FLAC (BFLAC) FTW haha
