    Recommendations: Pairing Headphones with Mytek Manhattan

    Can you share your experiences in pairing headphones successfully with the Mytek Manhattan (I or II, since they have similar characteristics)? With roots in the mastering industry, the Manhattan has unreal detail retrieval, but can be quite forward when matched with the wrong cables and...

    Jaguar RTOS

    Hello Nagual.  Yes, it's not uncommon for ethernet drivers to not be installed as stock, because there are so many.  I didn't do a wifi setup, because I don't use a wireless router in the Jaguar Listening Studio and didn't have one to use for the setup.  I've got so many new projects going on...

    Jaguar RTOS

        Hello Theogenes.  You will need to contact Lynx or just give it a try.  Some Lynx cards will work with Linux and some, like the AES-16, absolutely will not.

    A first update has been released.  Now with a Mytek Linux driver, an updated M2Tech driver that works with most asynchronous USB DACs like Wyred and Burson, as well as cd ripping software.

    The issue with the website will be fixed shortly, but anyone who wants to get started now can send me an email (the address can be found on the Jaguar website).  I don't post the instructions at other locations on the Internet (and I request that others not do this as well), because I want to...

    Seattle Frye museum January 5th meet

      JPlay is a player for Windows, while the Jaguar RTOS is a full operating system with it's own iTunes-style player.  We're not talking about a realtime player, but rather a realtime audio kernel (the core of the OS).  Windows and Mac/OSX operating systems do not have realtime kernels (and the...

    Seattle Frye museum January 5th meet

    The meet was fantastic.  I give a lot of credit to Big Poppa & Co. and the Frye for enabling such a great event.  There was a lot of people who came through during the day.  I'm definitely going back there to check out the rest of the museum when I have the opportunity.    I was so busy...

    Seattle Sunday New Year Meet at the Frye Museum 01/05/14

      It shouldn't be news to anyone who lives in Seattle, but if you're looking for an inexpensive dinner, Piecora's (next to Seattle U) has amazing pizza and cheap beer.

    Seattle Sunday New Year Meet at the Frye Museum 01/05/14

      I will agree, this is a big-time location.  Very impressive.  Hope you're able to take full advantage of the big score and get the word out to as big and wide an audience as possible.

    I can bring a Bakoon HPA-21 and a Burson Conductor.  I don't have headphones for them at the moment though.

    Jaguar RTOS

    Hello Uncola, the OS is outfitted with the standard network infrastructure, so if your gear doesn't require any special drivers it should work just fine.

    Need USB cable. Does USB cable make a differences

    I haven't experimented with it.  I believe the answer is no, because some DAC manufacturers have told me they didn't see a performance advantage with USB 3.0.  I wouldn't discourage you from trying it if you have the time.  I'm pretty sure all cables are backward compatible.

    Need USB cable. Does USB cable make a differences

      Yes, of course the placebo effect is real, but we're talking about experienced listeners, not random people exposed to speaker sound.  If you can't get over placebo what are you doing auditioning $1,000 USB cables?  Even if someone can show you a measurable difference in a USB cable it...

    Need USB cable. Does USB cable make a differences

      Xnor, you seem to be missing my main point on everything.  If I let my ears be the judge, it doesn't matter how things work.  If your ears are capable of hearing differences in sound don't take anyone's claim on faith, just listen, evaluate whether the result is positive and worth the money...

        Quote:     I respectfully disagree with you guys.  If magnetic fields and quantum physics are indeed real things it's not all that unfathomable that they can have an effect on an electrical audio signal.  I'm not completely objective anymore with Audio Magic, having been selling...

    Jaguar RTOS

    The Lynx AES16 does not work with Linux.  There is a workaround to downgrade the firmware and use the proprietary Open Sound driver, but not worth doing in my opinion.  Some Lynx cards can be used with Linux, but not this one.

    Jaguar RTOS

    I've been getting questions lately about DAC compatibility with the Jaguar RTOS.  To be clear, if your DAC's USB connection requires installation of a special software driver to work, you need to check with the manufacturer about whether they make a version for the Linux OS.  However, if you're...
