Based on my night of googling and experiments it looks like there is no way to get YouTube Music to use wasapi/exclusive mode. Chromium had exclusive mode flag added at one point but looks like that has been broken for years (tested and confirmed broken). There is an unofficial desktop client...

Has anyone been in contact with Rockhopper/Stephen lately? I ordered a B22 from him last year, it was supposed to be ready in February but after I emailed him back then, he said he had to rebuild something and that it would be delayed. I emailed him in May again and after couple tries he...

So, here I thought that I could finally stop tweaking my setup.. then I get some very low volume material to listen to and find out that once I turn volume past 12 on my Singlepower amp, I can easily hear very annoying hum and beeps. Setup: Computer -> USB -> Stello DA100 -> Singlepower...

I'm sure there are people here with both open and closed V3 Darths. I'm probably going to order my second pair of Darths some time soon and was wondering how the "new" open version affects the good old Darth sound? I'm leaning towards going with the open design, it looks really good to my...

Is anyone else having issues with Vista and USB audio devices? I have a Stello DA100 DAC and use foobar for playback. After listening a while the playback starts to glitch and I get a fairly annoying pop/crackle maybe once a minute or so. This box has 2GB RAM and an experience rating of 5.1...

I need to connect one more coax cable to my DAC and since the only free inputs are optical a converter looks like the only option. Are there any such converters that are worth buying or do they all pretty much kill the sound?

Ok, so I got a spanking new Stello DA100 (which sounds awesome), hooked it up to my computer using usb and to Creative X-fi through coax. Configured foobar to use usb ds playback, everything works fine as expected. However, when I switched X-fi from Audio Creation Mode (tm) to Game Mode...

Another head-fi newbie here begging for help, sorry to say.. Since I have finally managed to accumulate decent amount of various greenish paper pieces, I decided this would be a good time to waste it on something that'll completely piss the wife off. I'm almost completely listening to...
