    Differing quality in USB cables?

    Hi, I'm a new owner of an Alien DAC, and was looking for a very short cable that would match the portability of the DAC it would be plugged into, when I came upon this: http://cgi.ebay.com/30-Retractable-U...QQcmdZViewItem There are a decent amount of these cables on eBay, and seemed to be...

    Help with setting up Philips PSC-805 (Aurilium)

    Hi, I recently plug-and-played my brand new Philips PSE-805 Aurilium. Upon testing it out with a CD on my laptop, the sound has very loud, constant clipping in it, and then the music goes dead between 10-30 sec and the lights on the Aurilium turn off and won't respond to anything until I pull...

    Any places left to buy a Beyer DT831? If not, alternatives?

    Without getting into the AT Woodies, which if I did buy one I wouldn't have nearly enough money left to put a decent system around it, I don't see any closed headphone that piques my interest as much as the Beyer DT831. Does anyone know of a place that still sells them? I've done searches, kept...

    Am I missing something here? (AKG K81DJ)

    I've read a decent amount on these headphones before buying them. I've heard lots of complaints about the initial clamping factor, but absolutely nothing about the headband size. Upon doing a search, I've found ONE complaint that the headband was too small. I mean this headband is borderline...

    Need help configuring X-Fi as transport to external DAC

    Hi, I'm having some trouble getting my Entech Number Cruncher 203.2 set up with my X-Fi Platinum as the transport. The DAC is brand new, and I highly doubt the problem lies there. Right now, I'm using the spdif coaxial out on the front bay console that comes with the X-Fi Platinum. I've tried to...

    New computer setup getting on my last nerve

    Ok, so I built my dorm computer with my headphone setup in mind, but so far the results have brought nothing but stress, anxiety, and frusteration. It took me 2 weeks of no music until I could get some sound out of there, and things are hardly better now. Let me go down my list of grievences...

    Please help me troubleshoot my computer setup! (w/ E-MU 1212M installed)

    Ok, just to get this out into the open, I am massively incompetent when it comes to anything audio/software related. That said, my setup is as follows: E-MU 1212M (bought new and sealed off eBay, or was it?) > Headphile CPU Series dual 1/4" to RCA (bought used, maybe broken?) > Headsave...

    Any potential for a portable DVD MP3 player?

    Or what I mean to say, is something around the size of a portable CD player, that can read mp3s off a data-DVD? I've looked around, and I'm pretty sure that there's nothing like that now, but is there any chance that someone will try manufacturing something like this? I, for one, would love...

    Dell DJ Coupons - anyone get them to work?

    There's a listing on Techbargains.com (it's in the archives at this point) that lists a $194 shipped price on the Dell DJ30, after a 25% coupon and a "$30 off $300 electronics" coupon. I can get the 25% coupon to work, but not the $30 off one. I added an item to push it over $300 (one of the...

    Presonus HP4 vs. Pimeta (Maxed Out)?

    Does anyone have any idea how much better the pimeta is than a Presonus HP4? I'm trying to put together a setup to complement my K271S (I might switch to a dt770 Pro, dt250-250, or A900 in time.) I'm thinking that I might be able to get an e-mu 0404 and HP4 ($200 total retail) for $150 if I...

    Need help deciding on a closed circumaural pair of headphones

    I've been looking for closed circumaural headphones around the $100+ range since I've been growing really tired of my $30 Aiwa's purchased at the local Best Buy. Before finding this forum, the most I've looked at is Headroom and Amazon reviews, and it seemed that the Senn HD280s were really...
