Thanks to Niall for putting together the meet. It was a great event with a good turnout :) was very cool that we had a few guys travel great distances to get to the meet.   My favourite pair of headphones are still the HD650, I always seem to go back to them. Favourite setup would be Jeff's...

My lovely sister was kind enough to lend me her laptop, but I won't have access to all my FLAC. Should be able to bring about 900 FLAC tracks though :)

Hey everyone!   Will anyone be bringing a laptop to tomorrow's meet? My work laptop is unreachable for tomorrow, so I won't have anything to feed the DACs!     Cheers John

Hey guys.   I don't follow the forums much these days so when the location and date are finalised, could someone shoot me an email to let me know? :)   I would be more then happy to help out with any costs involved with the meet, it's great we can get an event like this organised!  ...

I'm definitely interested, and know of 3 other people who are also keen (wow Aleph plus K1000!!!)

Hi Wixy, Some links for HK Hi-Fi shopping: http://www.tnt-audio.com/tours/taohkshopping_e.html http://www.hktubeaudio.homestead.com/shops.html In China, stop by ShenZhen. There are many many Hi-Fi shops here.

A customer pointed me to this thread We'd love to attend and bring along some gear.

Thought I'd share my opinion Shigeru Umebayashi's composition of 'Curse of the Golden Flower' OST. IMO the movie isn't so great, but Shigeru Umebayashi has done amazing work on some tracks. An example of this is in a few tracks which are devoted to certain characters in the movie...

Not too sure, but something like the Creative DDTS-100 may work.

I think you would notice an improvement over the standard analog outputs. I've had some customers do this for headphone setups connected to their STB. However some of my customers have experienced problems with some DTV channels because the digital output is Dolby Digital/AC3/DTS and a lot of...

hello redrich2000! the Trends UD-10 isn't a DAC, it only outputs digital signals.

I received my MD10 today, and I'm liking the sound already. I'll try take some pictures later tonight.

the smell is usually the paint heating up, should go away after a while.

this amp is very interesting. something that compares (in size) to the amps from Xin.
