Hi, My set up is the following. I rip CDs into flac format using my CD drive that came with my DELL 8300. They are output using ASIO and winamp to an external DAC and then to an integrated amplifier. I'm thinking of buying a new CD-ROM drive for my computer (external) and I wondered how...

sure guys. Ok I recently purchased a DAC (USB Plus Dialogue II from mhdt Labs in taiwan). I connected it to my computer via usb and it recognised it finally as a c-media usb audio device. Then i pluged the DAC into my NAD integrated amp from the DACs analogue out. I left plugged into the amp...

Ok Here is the setup: USB DAC > Aux input on NAD C352 int. amp Soundcard > Disc input on NAD C352 int. amp When im listening to the amp set to aux it sounds lovely, you can hear the DAC nicely at work. However, when i unplug the RCA connections from the (pc soundcard jack to 2 x phono)...

Hi, I purchased a dialogue II usb plus from mhdt labs on ebay. Connecting it to my PC windows xp cant recognise the device and wont install the appropiate windows audio driver for it. Anybody else had this problem, or any ideas on how to remedy it? Thanks, vB

Hi, I want to buy an integrated amplifier to go with my DAC (i.e. Dell PC > DAC > AMP). My budget is £100-£200 (GBP). Currently I think perhaps a seond hand NAD 304 or a Denon PMA 1500R is a good option. Any suggestions? Thanks, vb

Hi, I recently purchased a USB plus Dialogue II DAC from mhdt labs. Considering on the website they state (in poorly translated english) that the "Dialogue II is very musical and natural sounding with best sound stage; however with lesser current and higher impedance (1.6K) so it may not...

Ok, but in terms of pure DACs: am I better off with a Dialogue II or an Arcam Delta Black Box 5? Thanks

I'm thinking of getting a Dialogue II. If I link it to a fairly decent amp (a cambridge audio midrange i guess) and listen to my Grados, do you think it will be better than getting a Dared MP5? Thanks, vb Oh and i forgot, the dialogue II according to MDHT labs says it "is very musical and...

I forgot to mention i want to power speaks AND cans hense the dared MP5...

I want to get a new amp so I can listen to (mainly classical) music off my computer. Do i choose the Dared MP5, the T-200MKll (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-EL84-TUBE-...QQcmdZViewItem) or another in this price range? Bear in mind I live in London, UK. Thanks! vb

Would a Dared MP5 from the US work ok in the UK, what with different voltages and all? Thanks, visualbenjie

Do NAD do usb amps??

what do we think? Looks slightly dodgy coming from Hong Kong and all... Plus i cant find any reviews on google. hmmm.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-EL84-TUBE-...QQcmdZViewItem vb

Anybody got an opinion on this usb amp? http://www.russandrews.com/lookup/1/...ifier-4604.htm Benjie

I have the standard soundcard that came with my computer, so there is much feedback. Btw the speakers were Kef cadenzas. vb

Hi, I have a pair of westone UM2s, grado SR125s and a couple of nice KEF speakers. Now i want an amp which will plug into my comp where I store most of my music, (eventually in loseless formats). Can you reccomend a 'usb' amp to buy (£100-£200 would be ideal) to power my headphones (and if...

The iPod seems clearer, but I could be mistaken.

why

I have an Ipod nano 4gb and a dell axim x51v PDA. In terms of 'sound quality' which should I use?

Why a ER.4S not ER.4P? I want a portable set of earphones, and P = portable. And if i get the Shure model then obviously I wont use the PTH feature.

Hi, I'm looking to buy some earphones to go with my Sony walkman D - NE300. After buying some Grado SR125's last year and being so impressed with what audio should sound like, I want to get some portable earphones this christmas. I will be using them on the train and bus etc, basically 'on...
