I was browsing some sites and came across this http://text.ivory.ne.jp/hph/ Only link seems to be on right bottom but wow. a headphone centered manga (of course its a doujinshi, 3rd volume it seems) Sorry if this was posted before. I guess I'll go find a copy in a month or two while in...

Version 1.

Rockbox is quite possibly the most amazing firmware ive ever seen.. well. coming from the M-robe it isnt hard to be the best.. but I got video to work on the iHP-120.. that was pretty fricking impressive.. very slow (8fps) and 4 color grayscale... but its a movie and it played through one...

I'll start this thread since Daniel's shipped off all the boards.. and some of you have already gotten them ( Filbuuurrrttt) This thread is for any and all troubleshooting of PPAS, and to document compatibility with different parts and opamps. All standard SMD build procedures apply...

Cetoole and I have been talking about making a portable, completely over the top DAC.. TBH, the PCM2704 sounds slightly better than my sound card, worse than my CDPs and worse than the M-Audio transit..I'm not too thrilled with it. We're currently gathering our ideas so contribute if you'd...

Finally finished my DAC101. but there's one problem.. no sound. Now, I think its my optical cable.. is the opto-cable supposed to light up visibly on the end? i think my optical cable may be disconnected somehwere in the middle.. Also, does anyone know the pin-layout of the TORX177? its...

Explain and appreciate your avatars! I see so many avatars.. yet they're so un-explained... like edwood, why the hamster? Mine, its a Orca eating a penguin diving into the ocean..

http://www.fedex.com/Tracking?cntry_...itial=x&mps=y& Fedex 2 day service actually takes 6 days to get to me... What mate? slightly not happy since these are the prototype boards I've been waiting to get my hands on for my new PPA in a Tin design. So is there anything I can do? go to a...

NOTE - This is the development thread, to just find out info about the PPAS, click here last night, got a bit bored, and combining my obsession with SMD components (so tiiiny!) with the PIMETA schematic, here's what I got.. 470uF x 4 rail caps, No C1 Capacitors No class-A...

I just got a Makita 3 HP Compressor and some assorted tools (drill, angle grinder, shear ) ... now the question is.. whats good pneumatic tools to get? (if any that is..) I need it for machining 1/8th wall Aluminum (some Robotics stuff..) so drill, angle grinder (for cutting) and shear (for...

Its 7:10 and I realized I have both biology and physics finals tomorrow.. definately not fun since I've been slacking in physics the whole semester.. So, whats your favorite study / sleep plan before finals? and for those of you having taken ap physics, what's the worst part of the...

The title is fairly self-explanatory.. I was going to go to the post office today, but couldnt this will probably be my last night with the 650s before they get traded for the RS-1s.. What should I listen to? thanks =)

Wow. are portable players allowed to sound this good? I just played my HD-650s out of the headphone outputs, this thing drives it quite well, of course the detail and the treble region seems to take a backseat compared to my PPA, but the D-33 isnt a giant brick... the sound also comes comparably...

[.. nvm..]

Quick question- Is the UA-25's "Balanced output" a true balanced out (ie inverted digital signal to DAC) or a driven balanced output like via a DRV134..

Next project - Balanced Millets.. but I'm wanting to check to see if what I'm going to do will work. First, I'll take two millet boards, fully populate them. Then the left side jack will have L and G connected, to the left board. right side jack will have R and G connected to the right board...

My issue is this.. I thought this was a source issue, but apparently not. Doing listening comparisons with a friend's M^3 I noticed that the PPA v2 has a loud, audible static hiss at loud volumes.. with or without source plugged in. I think this is a grounding or wireing issue, but since I'm...

I've been reading up on S/PDIF and been getting conflicting information.. First, is the data protocol always the same? http://www.andrewkilpatrick.org/mind/spdif/ ,<<-- says it is, but then why do PMP's specify "SPDIF, AC3 , DTS out" if the digital protocol is the same.. So this leads me...

Christmas is heere in, from a white truck labled "hengehold truck rental".. at 10:18 AM.. Look what came Inside... Yes.. Christmas will be here till I tell someone how much that cost =p

I'm planning on getting a PMP as my mobile source.. (and a CD for home) Neuros 442 (not V2) Generous upgrade program ($99 for upgrade to V2 when it comes out) 40 Gb for cheaper than others (no idea about sound quality) 16 bit color, 320 x 240 resolution. battery life of (5+ hrs) Im...

A simple question, and for me, Real Analysis.. taking it along with 2 other Juniors and suffering on the proofs.. argh.. (heh just finished up with the Cauchy condition.. annoying as hell) So what was (is) your hardest math course? Pre-alg? Alg? Geo? Trig? Calc? Analysis? Stats? Edit: aw...

I currently own the 650s (de-foamed it for the time.. I like the highs like this..) Anyway I'm considering new 'phones, and I need comfort for extended listening.. and the 880s arn't really my thing (though I guess I'd consider it..) I'm considering the SA5k and selling my 650s. So.. opinions...

Weird problem.. NiMH battery charger board has the following config.. R1 - 270 R2 - 4.7 R3 - Open R4 - 100k R5 - 10K RLED - 3.8K R6 - Short R7 - Short R8 - Open With a 6x 2 AAA battery holder configuration of 900mAh batteries.. here's my problem Fast charging seems to be working...

Hmm.. slightly worried. Last night I was soldering hte PCM2702.. I was doing flood and suck + braid (to remove bridges) and I heated it up repeatedly (was tired, kept making bridges where I'd already removed it.. probably shouldn't have soldered late at night..) my question is .. how heat...

I layed out the schematic and layout for sijosae's MHHA. 2 potential layouts, 2 layer and 1 layer. I'd rather keep it 1 layer (so its possible to etch) but 2 layer seems much cleaner.. I'd HIGHLY appreciate any advice on the schematic as well as the board (I'm unsure of pin-layout as well as the...
