Looking another web forum, somebody has discovered that the iD100 will work with a ipod video 5.5g, with the same functionality as an ipod classic.   Has anyone had any experience with the iD100 and an ipod video 5.5g?? looking to buy, without the extra cost.

Hi All,   I've looked thought various posts, and I am asking can anyone recommended where or who should I buy the above mentioned Headphone Amp(s).   From my research, Its seems I should avoid 'shenzen audio store' because he/she dos not sell an authorised version, I thought about taking...

Does anyone remember iems costing $8000, which contained 20 drivers?

I would like to copy my vinyl to computer, and apart from a soundcard and a very expensive studio dac and balanced interface card, what options are there to transfer from a phono stage to a computer externally.   no more than $400

I read earlier in this thread that the pcm56p's are 16bit?

is there a burson type upgrade for the opamps? i realise the bursons are 8pin and the ones in the stockholm 20 or so?

I have had a look at the wyred dac1,but compared to a dac by audio-gd vastly more simplified internals, whats people thoughts on component count in a dac, more or less which is better?

Hi all,   I have a RSA Raptor with Grado RS-1's, I am looking at a dac with asyncronous usb. I have looked at Musical Fidelity's Vdac II and Mhdt's Stockholm can anyone recommend any other dac's preferably with a valve stage.   I am vinyl man heart an all my music is lossless, so...

I know of the burson op-amp upgrade board, but the mhdt stockholm has a 10 or so op amp chip, does anyone know of a similar thing to the burson option that can be fitted?   Look like I have my heart set on a stockholm.

Thankyou for everyone's reply, but I was looking for a dac hopefully without headphone support.   Burson's own dac looks interesting, with a nicely populated circuit board(s), looks a lot better value than wavelength's options, especially with their near empty $6500 tube dac.

the etymotic filters fit!!

does anyone know where i can get a replacement set of the small white filters??? shure u.k. are no help

As per Ray's advice, he recommended that I try and contact U.K. 'Raptor' owners concerning an abnormal hiss that i am experiencing at very low levels with the raptor. PM if you want. any help or u.k. feedback from any raptor owners in the U.K. would be a big help. yours hoping, stuart.

anyone in the U.S. experienced what i'm hearing??????

lucky me bought a raptor a week or two back. one problem though i am experiencing a lot of back ground hiss. i changed the all the valves and still its there. Is it me or am i expecting too much. I have spoken to ray about this but i would prefer to sort this out without sending it back...

are people jealous of RSA's products. o.k. it could do with some black gates capacitors here and there, but whats is like compared to an earmax, or is every thing in the 'mind'

i was looking initially for a separate power supply, thats why i was drawn to the raptor. source i'm going to listen of is my vinyl, with a shurev15vxmr

would like a valve amp stage for my rs-1's, thought about a raptor or x-can V3, but really looking for a warm relaxed valve sound.

I started this thread to see other peoples experiences buying from our U.S. cousins if its good enough i'd pay,

well i phoned up hmrc, they refered me to another company, found out the classification and was quoted 2% import tax + VAT.

Has anyone from the U.K. brought anything from ray samuels, in particular the 'raptor'. Concerned about customs thats all mainly, plus is it really better than a musical fidelity x-can V3 and other valve headphone amplifiers. all the best. RS-1 - HD565 - IPOD 5G 80GB

Hi all, When i play lossless 24bit/48khz, the ipod 'skips' now and again. Any ideas anyone. I'm recording vinyl records with audacity recording software at 24bit/48khz, then saving under AIFF at 24/48 signed pcm 24bit on windows 2k. Then Itunes, converting the files to lossless...
