Last month I bought a 5.5g 80GB iPod on eBay and it arrived two days ago. After the recommended initial battery charge of 4 hours I started to rip some of my CD's to the harddrive using iTunes and apple-lossless. I must say that iTunes is really handy and easy to use, and I just love that it...

I have been looking for a dac for a while that will suit my needs, but there is one thing that I'd like to have which I haven't seen on many dac's at all, dual outputs. That would be great since then I could use it with both speakers and my headphones at the same time without having to unplug...

I have had a pair of these lying in the closet for some time but I've never tried them actually. I don't know very much about them except that they are from the 70s and many think they are quite good (on another forum someone said in 99 that he had heard hp's in the range of $8000 (!) and he...

I found a pair of for sale on a German audio gear market. Click here So if someone sits on 8500 EUR which they don't know what to do with, now is the chance.

I need an interconnect between an amp and a dac. They are probably going to stand right on top of each other on my desk so I don't need a cable longer than 1-2 feet. I'm willing to spend $100-$200 on a good cable, preferably copper as I don't want any bass/warmth loss. What are my options...

Mods please delete this thread

Is it and can it output the dvd-a sound to a dac?

That would me possible wouldn't it? I am thinking of buying an X-Fi but I don't like the lack of a real s/pdif out. It has a mini s/pdif out but then I cannot use a regular coax without an adapter. Or will the adapter still sound better than adding an output of my own? I found a pinout...

Are there any DACs that have the PCM1792? I have searched but didn't find any, except for some high-end cd-players. The specs seems really good. Or is there better dac-chips?

I'm in the business for a DAC AH and need a digital interconnect between my soundcard and the dac. I have read almost all threads I could find on this subject but all my questions still aren't answered. In every thread where people ask about digital mini to rca interconnects, they all get...

I'm on the verge of buying a 1212m. (or maybe Juli@) If one would compare it to the X-Fi using digital ONLY. Would it be any difference in sound quality, and would I be able to hear it using my setup? I may buy a DAC in the future so that is why I'm asking about the digital out ONLY, I...

I was browsing the Internet and found this. http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/en/n...ound+card.html Onkyo SE-200PCI Seems to be the successor of the 90 and 150. It looks really interesting imo, it even has 7.1 surround sound through the optical out. I hope Audio Cubes get some of these.

I have not been in the market of a dac before an have not read anything about them, but today I was browsing the forum and found this DAC. How can it be so cheap? It cost like $300 when it came. (how long ago was that?) (Edit: I noticed that it's about 8 years old or more so that may explain...

Ok here's the new poll with some added and fixed alternatives. The question is the same: How do you pronounce Juli@? (@=at) (I won't say my opinion since it could affect the result)

Was browsing audiocubes and found these http://www.audiocubes.com/product/El..._Eardrops.html Have anyone heard them or anything about them? If they're good maybe I'll get a pair for my sister for cristmas. Edit: Here comes some nice pictures

A person I know have always claimed that the stereo sounds better when the power cord is connected a certain way. I was at first sceptic but we tried listening with the power cord connected first one way and then unplugged it and put it in the wall upside down. It actually sounded better one...

I'm very close to buying an RS-2 for $375 + $15 shipping. At first I thought that the rs1 may be better but considered it costs $200-250 more than this, I dunno if it's worth it. I'd like a hp that portraits metal better than my a900ltd's, but at the same time I want a slight warm full bodied...

I was searching around on the net and stumbled upon the site at the bottom of this post. Some kind of price matching service I think, from Korea. There seems to be many places that still sell the LTD there. So if you're interested in buying one they may be available for purchase (if you could...

Exactly what the topic says. When I received my amp earlier today I just tried it with some alkalines and the amp distorted big-time. I went and bought some Ni-MH batteries but the distortion/crackle is still there albeit less. Maybe I'll have to charge the batteries for a while first? Are...

I just checked ebay and saw this http://cgi.ebay.com/PA2V2-Headphones...QQcmdZViewItem look at that price... . You could buy them directly from Gary instead for $60, including worldwide shipping. Edit: some things

I am interested to see if I get any better sound with an amp, and the PA2V2 seems to be a good and cheap amp to start with. I’ve read that it has a rather narrow soundstage. Is that compared to other amps or will I get even less soundstage than unamped?

I have the A900LTD. They are great headphones but I decided to try the blue-tac mod to help with the recessed mids, and to make the guitars sound less thin. They got better and the male voices had more "body", but other than that I didn't like it very much. The sound became less airy and the...
