I was greatly disappointed to discover this week-end that 2L, probably my favorite recording company, will no longer be selling some   of its albums for download on its site. The only way to download some of its albums is to download each track individually . At $6,00 a track for DSD256, thats...

I am able to upsample my PCM files to DSD 256, but have not been able to upsample my DSD files. Can this be done in JRiver??

Received these today and have had them playing for a couple of hours.  Its so much fun when you make changes in your system and wind up with BIG results. I have replaced my Schiit Bimby MB with a Gustard x20, and have given up on USB for 2IS with the SU-1. The soundstage, treble resolution and...

I have decided to upgrade my Schiit Bimby and put it up for sale. Since it is only a few months old, I assumed the warranty would be transferable, as my Emotive components are. After contacting Schiit I was informed that is not the case. Bummer!  Certainly reduces the price of Bimby. It my view...

Been trying to set up JRiver to play MQA files with no success. Had to go to Audirvana for a bit perfect program that worked. Anyone had success with MQA in JRiver?

For years I have downloaded music from Linn records, I love their recording and have never been unhappy with a download. Lately however they have joined the ranks of most other music download sites  HD Tracks ). They have started taking their older 44.1 recording  putting them in a 24/192 bucket...

I've been using china as a parts source for a few years with great success, but no more. China is pricing themselves right out of the market with incredible greed.Fitear IEM connectors that two months ago were 12.50 at Lunashop, are now 25.00 . Another ebay store has them for $31.00. Wow! Plus ...

Just downloaded " The Power of Handel" from Hd Tracks and love the notes about its history and production at the World Heritage Site Maulbronn Monastery. Unfortunately these notes are not included in the download, so I have copied them to a folder on the Desktop. Now is were I get really...

So what is it with 1964 Ears. I've sent them two e-mails from their web-site over the past month trying to audition stage 6 and v8 CIEMS but receive no response. I love my Fitears but would like to try a custom. Anyone have experience with them. I'm getting a bad taste about this company.

Finally had a chance to test out my two week old 334's and my one week old X5.  Used Joshua Bells Thaikovsky's Violin Concerto 24/192.  All the combinations were fabulous, but of course, some more fabulous then others. The 334's on the deck with the X5 was a real thrill. Best outdoor sound Iv'e...

When I bought my 334 from ALO last week I never realized that there are't any connectors to buy for it ,so your screwed if you like to make cables for your head gear!  I assumed ALO the company that sold me the fit ears would sell me a set or two. Nope. To busy to even rerun my e mail. After...

Received them on Friday from ALO Audio. Seems like it took about 6-10 hours for them to do most of their burning in. A huge change in SQ  over that time. Put on my HD600's a few minutes ago, for the first time since Friday. Been wearing the Fitears's most of each day. My first pair of IEM's...

Well I was set to order a pair of 1964 v6s today, but when I got home there was an email from AOL saying they had the 334 in stock. Before I knew it I had spent an extra $ 550 ! I was looking forward to my first pair of customs. Someone tell me I made the right decision. I'm having a bit of...

I was running out of space on my Macbook Prro so I moved all my music files from my Macbook pro to an external hard drive.All new music downloads now go to this new external drive.  The problem is that since new downloads don't go on my computers hard drive my new additions are no longer backed...

Wow, Went to Blumensteins web site to order some orcas and see the price has gone from 400 to 900 for the new model. Only thing I can see is they changed from 1/2 in to 3/4 in Bamboo. $ 500....must be some expensive plywood. Too bad I have been looking forward to getting them for a over a year...

I have just discovered the Sony Hi Res music site. Oh my, I want to buy the whole catalog. Absolutely fabulous recordings. Hi res music as I have never heard it before. 

I'm going to give up on HD Tracks. The downloads I get from this site more often then not disappoint. I have never gotten a disappointing download from Linn Records, while I always feel ripped off by HD Tracks. This morning I downloaded Joshua Bell and the Berlin Phil playing Tchaikovsky Violin...

I was sad to see that the Gary's 2013 midlevel Dac thread has been buried and locked. At the time the thread was being written it was my feeling that that would be the case. The tread threatened the livelihood of too many Headfi sponsors for it to be allowed  further exposure. I thought it was...

Can't get myEmotiva  Dac1 to play high res files with Jriver. Everything keeps getting converted to 48K. Using USB on a macbook pro. Have gone into DSP Studio and set it up for " no change" but it keeps converting to 48K. Any help would be greatly appreciated!..........Max

Just ordered a Topping D20 DAC for my recently completed Crack amp. But I just noted in their specs that it only allows 16/48 for USB input, while 24/96 is reserved for co-axial.  Do not most good quality DAC's use USB 24/96 ?  Ordered from Amazon so I can just return it if this is the case. Any...

I'm about to solder on some Cardas plugs and just want to confirm that the small plug is hot, big is gound.....Thanks. First time out for a noob and would prefer not to scew it up.

Will this work, and will it give me better SQ then just downloading directly from my computer via USB? My first post and just trying to figure it all out using an IPhone, HF 3, and Sennheiser 558.........Max
