    Samsung Galaxy S7 - Best next audiophile phone?

      I'm in the US. I specifically asked the rep -- and this is where lack of knowledge of reps would come in though I tried to simplify -- if the audio chip in the US version using a different processor than the one in asia was also in-house and she stated yes which I figured at the time was...

    Samsung Galaxy S7 - Best next audiophile phone?

    My limited experience from testing at Best Buy yesterday with UE triple fi 10s and the preloaded low quality samsung track was that the bass was too pronounced to the point I couldn't finish the song. I hope that that was just the track.   Anyway, I asked the samsung rep what kind of audio it...

    Samsung Galaxy S7 - Best next audiophile phone?

      Although "required", there is no impediment for a manufacturer to add a separate DAC if they want ala the LG v10 with Snapdragon 808. Anyway, I'll go see what I can find out this weekend.

    Another Null Audio Lousy Customer Service Post

    More fodder to inform your decision to do or not do business with Null Audio:   Essentially sent in cables to be repaired: Kevin received them (see below) but has not responded to my interim emails (sent to sales@ and through null audio's question box) about some sort of tracking information...

    Review: Null Audio Studio Lune Cable

    5 months after arrival -- channels cutting out on an Enyo cable. 99.9% that the problem is related with the connection to the plug. Darn. I emailed from the form on the website, will do the facebook soon.   Fairly disappointed that for $80 the cable didn't last any longer than a stock cable...

    RE: Machinists or Woodworkers in NYC metro area

    Hi all,   I'd like an enclosure for my SOHA and Alien DAC. That is to say--after reading the posts on here and recognizing my own experiences of using a cardboard box with cut outs as an enclosure for the last 3-4 years, I'd like someone to make me an enclosure.   Does anyone know of any...

    HF-1 mods for cups

    Hey, No, not looking for an actual replacement to the cup. Just the foam. I saw Jmoney's ebay store but he was only selling v3s. Also on his website there was really only mention of the v3. It looks like a classy upgrade. Any leather bowls/pads for HF-1s available? Or Grados in general...

    HF-1 mods for cups

    Hi, So I spent 2+ years in Mongolia. I came back somewhat recently and was rifling through my stuff and found my HF-1s. Seems like my brother didn't pack them that well and the foam cups are a bit messed up. The pleather headband is also a bit messed up. Drivers, thankfully, still seem to be...

    Mar. 10 - Message from Rick's family re: Best Wishes And Prayers For A Friend In A Fight: rickcr42

    Hi rick, I haven't posted here in a long time. Long time. I thought this was a reasonable time to post since I'm coping with a fairly aggressive cancer too. Research the **** out of pubmed. Ask your doctors as many questions as possible. Look at threads in imminst.org for non conventional...

    Alien Dac --> Soha volume

    Hello guys and gals, I have an Alien Dac (stock) with a soha (pretty stock, mundorf caps at c2/c14) going to hf-1, ksc 75, or e3s. I use the Asio4vall drivers suggested on alf's site for the alien dac. With these drivers I seem to have volume control via window's internal volume...

    parts store in brooklyn

    So I went to Leeds today. They have stacks and stacks of tubes and misc. stuff. I was a bit overwhelmed. I think they mostly do mail order since the guy was kinda surprised I walked in. Their prices are pretty variable. I got a ge 5963 nos for $7 which is OK considering most online are $4...

    Quote: You may have some solder bridges on the dac chip. Looks like pins 27 and 28 may be bridged. Maybe 25 and 24. hard to tell from the photo. You could try some flux and solderwick and try and pick up some of the extra solder. I'd also check all the pins are connected. I had to...

    Alien DAC v1.1 Construction Thread

    Ok. Unfortunately more problems on my last build. I am getting 3.3 and 4.72. When I connect it to my computer it says something akin to "USB device not recognized...one of the usb devices has malfunctioned..etc." What should I look for? Any other readings I should take?

    Prices of DIY builds

    I'd go with a SOHA, and i'd go with jrossel's kit here @ $91.49 (darn used to be $90) edit: Jerry, i think this jrossel kit is better than the $56 one cause it includes everything. It's great for what you get--includes enclosure, toroid, alps pot, tube...
