    Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)

    Hmmm, weird. Both the DAC and the amp pots are of the B10k variety on my E1. Wonder if mine has been repaired??? Could this cause any issues in your opinion?

    Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)

    Would I be correct in assuming that that pot is a (combined) "pair" of 2 10k pots that simultainiously controls both left and right channels? Or does it have something to do with how this amp achieves its "balance"? I ask because I'm wondering if I wired 2 decent stereo pots up to the main...

    Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)

    (Did a couple searches in this thread for my issue but came up empty.) I run a balance M-stage amp off of the XLR's in my E1. When I adjust (and ONLY when I adjust) the volume I get a crackle. It is not present on the hp amp side nor the RCA output. Is this a known isssue? Is there a fix...

    I bought them from digikey. They should be genuine. Any muses 01 or 02 opamps I get, I install in a riser socket. They're so soft that I'm afraid of snapping a leg. If they're that sensitive (connectivity wise) perhaps that could be my interference...

    Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)

    Hmm, maybe I'll switch'em out. I've been having this issue where I get a bit of static after using the built in headphone amp after about 2 hours. Odd thing is if I tap the (2nd from right) I/V muses 01 it goes "bzzzzzt" and stops. I take it this is the grounding issues spoken of??? Thanks...

    The WickedSchiit Meet - New England - Nov 18th, 2018

    awww hell, I really wish I noticed this weeks ago. One day before the meet is not enough time. This is an anual thing right??? I've always wanted to go to a Can Jam, but Maine does't have too many.... Westborough however, is only about an hour & a half away!

    Beware: Red Pill ahead! - ABX test: Asus Essence STX II soundcard ( $220 new) vs. Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme (from $5 second hand): they sound *EXACTLY THE SAME*.

    I don't think you have very good ears. I have both a soundblaster audigy fx, an an STX II with burson v5's, and an Asus xonar essence one...... With the SB both the jitter and noise floor are borderline unlistenable. Looking through this thread, I saw nowhere where you express being able to...

    Sorry about the double post, I can't seem to edit for some reason.... Hopefully, the Burson audio guy will pop in and enlighten us. I can tell you though, I have 4 V5's that make a sizzling noise from running in the Voltage section of the EO. $240 that I can't even use as a paperweight...

    No no no.... They're different units using different voltages. The Play was designed around the V5's specs.

    Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)

    I'd take those V5s out ASAP. They're %100 NOT recommended for use in the I/V section of that dac. It's just more voltage than they're designed to handle.

    Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)

    Unfortunately, it came to me with that problem. I bought it used, and the seller happened to forget to add that small detail. Like I said though, it's not too problematic because both the SPIDIF and the optical inputs work just fine. I've been thinking it could be one of two things, a failed...

    I did give that a shot as well as a BIOS update to no avial. It's also worth noting that I have this problem on any computer. I have access to 5 in my house, and after testing on 3, I was convinced it wasn't a computer issue.

    I also have a mkii that is undiscoverable via USB. (USB)1, 2, or 3. It matters not. I've searched around, but I can't find much mention about this issue. Both the SPIDIF and the optical work fine. I just happen to prefer the sound of the USB, I know this only because I bought a second...

    you need to buy the upgrade kit to do that. amazon sells it for $125 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LHT73L2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A353W46UC1RVYH

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    I think these may become the new T50RP.  I wonder if Mr Speakers is trying to develop these at all???
