My father made me this for christmast. Love it         Sorry about the mess, I am moving.

thanks for sharing your story. Definitely not going to buy any Audio-gd equipments any time soon after this horror story! (removing an amp from my list of possible new purchases)

Quote: Aaah. I guess my assumption was wrong then. Thank you for correcting me :) Couldn't figure out why in the world anyone would buy the Wavelenght ;)

Quote:   If the DAC is noisy, wouldn't that change the sound? Making it sound worse? (just asking,because I am not sure how it would affect sound)   Does that mean that the sound would be fine if you do not "dampen/lower" the input signal?

Here are some interesting graphs about how a DAC can change sound. If you look closely on som of the graphs you can se that som of the DACs actually recreates a 11,025hz signal as a aprox. 11,1k signal, thus pitch the original signal aprox 100hz . (Look at the arcam and HRT dac)   (the thes...

Have been browsing on the stereophile website, looking over the measurements for different DACs. Got to say that the M51 measurements are amazing. I don't exactly know how important the shape of a recreated 1k sinusoidal wave is, But I would guess that he closer it resemble it look like a...

regarding it the dac should be asyncronous or native.  This is review of 11 usb dacs done by a norwegian magazine.  It showed thet the asyncronous dacs (in this test) had the highest level og jitter.  ...

There is no option "I DON'T OWN either of these headphones, and I HAVE NOT TRIED either, but I still want to press something"

Did you rip your CD to 256kbs as well? it might just be a poor rip. Do some A-B listening and see if the difference is still huge.

I use: Denon D2000 (LA2000) Head direct EF-1 amp Devilsound USB DAC Very happy with this set up

Devilsound usb DAC and Hotaudio supreme works for me with Windows 7 64bit

Which of Elekit TU882 or Decware Zen Select CSP-2 would you recommend to use with denon "LA5000" 32ohms phone?

great review! Thanks. look like a terrific product

I am not able to spot any re-clocking crystals on the pictures. Aren't there suppose to be 2 in this DAC? They could be hiding under the board though

no, I posted a few days back, but the post never came up. So what you mention is probably the reason then cant see past side 60

Copied form an article in stereophile. The Technical Director from Cambridge Audio writes about jitter in the USB signal when the laptop runs from the batter vs charger/PSU. Thanks for the excellent in-depth review. There were a couple of points that we thought were worth commenting on...

Do anyone know what USB receiver and DAC chip that is used in the Beresford 7520 DAC???
