I did a search in FS for apogee mini dac and found very old post. I did the ebay and google fs and current prices were all over the place. Can you guys give me reasonable suggestions on current price for used like new apogee mini-dac? This would be the model befor USB. Thanks! 

I want flat response monitors more for personal High Fidelity listening. Vinyl rips and 24/96 recording. Think I will go for Ultimate Ears or Etymotic Monitors. I assume the custom inserts should feel the same and comfortable as far as them being created by an audiologist. Looking for feed...

I am looking to buy the best issue of the first 4 or so queen cd's. From what i can tell doing a search there are the used original release, the hollywood re releases with the Xtra tracks (which i don't care for the Xtra tracks anyway) and then there seem to be some Japan remasters that sell...

I have only been having time to listen to DVD-A disks since i put this card in my computer. Straight out the box the card is sending and my apogee has been locking onto 192/48 and 192/96 depending on disk. No time to play with M Audio control panel but do have it setup to run comp sounds...

Whats the general concensus on these two formats? Are they still here but just niche or are they already gone but we just still have the disks around that were produced but still in stock. I also noticed the spec of a blu ray player said it output 96/24 audio. Is it possible things may go...

This would be brushed copper with polished copper knob and yellow led.

If the dual disc says it has the enhanced audio on the DVD side, Is this the high res 96/24 stereo track? Reason i ask is looking at dual disc online, some descriptions say that full DTS 5.1 or DTS 96/24. Of course that is very clear but some say entire cd in enhanced audio on dvd side so...

I decided to put this here since for me these are now my dedicated pieces of audio gear. I decided to just dive in and get some higher end equipment instead of the constant upgrading to something better. I had already purchased the Grado 325i. After a few weeks i found that they were a...

I have a few DVD A disks. Along with the 5.1 channel mix they also have the 2 channel stereo mix. Is it posible to get the stereo mix off the disk and on my hard drive so i can just play it from there?

Extreme Standard arrived round 3pm today. Not a very good photo but well, you know. Buzzing off my 32 ounce 190 Octane daquery, listening to my apogee Mini-Dac/Extreme/Grado325i. I will have comments and questions tomorow when i am not under the influence. I don't condone drinking and...

I was wondering what the concensus is on the speakers i am using with my computer. Of course it is not for intense critical listening but just everyday while surfing or reading forums. I use Foobar with lossless. When i bought these speakers i did so because i thought they were realy cool. I...

Just recieved my Apogee Mini-Dac. Ripped it open and just listened to two songs. Coax in then straight out the headphone out to my Grado SR 325i. All i could think was WOW! What a difference. What stood out imediately was the clarity and soundstage. I am already hearing small wayback mixed...

So i have the portable amp covered. I think i would like to just purchase an awesome amp to stay grounded for serious listening. I want to make one purchase and will live with it for many years I think i want to go tube, unless strong suggestions otherwise. Can spend one thousand USD...

I want to buy something!

How do you send digital data to the Micro DAC usb input? Can this be done with a direct connect usb cable from computer to Micro DAK, or do you need another piece of hardware between? Thanks Ok, so after searching for info on the input, the only thing i found was..... " Attach to...

My flat pads arrived today. Tried with unmodded pads comfort was good but sound changed too much for the worse. Modded pads with quarter size holes. Comfort and sound is awesome. I should have tried this sooner. I am a modded flat fan!

I am using Windows media center edition and Foobar 2000 v 0.9.4.2. DAC connected to the onboard digital out of the HP media center pc. I belive the onboard sound is realtek. foo_out_ks.dll is in the foobar component directory. Under foobar preferances the kernal stream out is listed...

I saw mention on another thread of Stax Headphones. Made me think of some stax I inherited in 1999. In 1997 at an old friends home, I had noticed a pair of headphones and said, "Wow those are Stax electrets. I never heard those before!" At some point in the following months I connected them...

So was flipping through some of the satelite radio music. Some songs souned like pretty bad ripped mp3's and others sounded ok. This was with headphones on. So what do they use as thier source material? Do they compress dynamic range at all like fm stations? Do they compress for any...

So i was searching for a current DAP with digital or line out to go next step above regular headphone out. Then i realized i own an original Nomad Jukebox 6g with line out. Works just fine and i can do a HDD upgrade. Wondered if it is worth it to upgrade the HDD and use it for it's line out...

Looking for suggestions on amp for Grado 325i. I guess this would be a portable amp. Mostly listen to rock, indie and top 40 from MP3 at 320. Also listen to satelite radio. Amp would be connected to Zen xtra and archos 604 Thanks

Yeah, Like you never saw this question before. :-) I am looking to purchase some headphones with the intent that i will get a headphone amp also. I would idealy like to get some local so i can just get them now but mail order is ok. Most all my music is MP3 at 320. My music taste is...
