    AudioQuest Dragonfly Review : Affordable, Outstanding, Tiny DAC / Amp

    Because I'm using WASAPI with Foobar2000, it makes no difference if I turn ON or OFF Windows default sounds? It also does not matter how I setup any of the Windows Sounds settings?

    USB external sound card recommendations w/ a DAC & digital-output. ($0-$150)

    Hi guys I am looking for advice in achieving the best 2-channel audio possible from my newly purchased Windows 7 PC.   I don't think my new computer can output digital audio, only analog. It has a Sandy Bridge Intel i5 with integrated audio. Probably not the best in terms of sound quality...

    XP won't recognize my D2.

    I did a complete reformat of my XP Home based computer this week and now when I connect my D2 via USB cable a little balloon pops up on the bottom right of my desktop saying "USB Device Not Recognized." I have tried it in all 6 of my USB 2.0 ports. Nothing. I tried switching my D2 from mass...

    How to set up ASIO w/ AV-710 and Foobar?

    Okay I read the guide and have came across a problem. When I go to edit my ASIO Virtual Devices over on the left under the column "Device Channel" it says Not Connected. When I click to bring up the pull down list it only lists a bunch of speaker positions. How do I tell it I want my AV-710...

    Does Rockbox upgrade the D2? Any news on the D3?

    I just bought a new 4GB black Cowon D2 off Amazon and am going to put a 8GB SDHC card in it for a total of 12GB. I don't understand how the SDHC card works. Do I insert it into the D2 then transfer music to it just like transferrring music to the D2's internal memory? Or do I have to buy one of...

    I need a FLAC playing DAC and was thinking about getting a 4GB Cowon D2. I'd love to save some money and get the Sansa Clip is only it supported FLAC. Ugh! I can't justify paying for the 8GB D2, or even the 16GB with the 80GB and 160GB Ipod Classics not much more. I'll be using this for mainly...

    How can I rewire my PortaPros and KSC-35?

    The left channel in my KSC-35 cuts in and out. I don't know how to fix this. My PortaPro's left channel speaker wire looks to have dry-rotted and snapped exposing the tiny speaker wire underneath. It continued to work like this for a few weeks but now the left channel is out completely...
