Looking for the cheapest and smallest usb DAC. Thanks!

still haven't gotten mine yet. said they would email me my tracking number when they shipped it, still haven't heard from them. will send them another email now!

try some random ones off ebay. i dont get how you're breaking them. i have a couple DIY cables and a ohlebach. i carry them on my metal belt, outside my backpack. always rubbing on jeans and well, i haven't had any of them die on me yet. perhaps you can look at getting some 90degree heads if...

still waiting for them. they said they would forward me the tracking number when they shipped it. still haven't heard anything.

sometimes makes you wonder why some companies like UE can sell their IEM's at 1000+ while others can sell them ~200.

still waiting on livewires. and a tomahawk

definetly! I only found the line outs. plug the plug into your zen, and flip it so its back side up. counting from the back. From the left, 3 - Left 4 - Right From the right, 2 - Ground Thats all folks, just find a ipod dock connector and repin it. That simple.

nothing in the intraweb works! lol. had to do it ol'school with a ohm meter, volt meter and my good old ears. SUCCESS!! I have created my own Zen Sleek LOD =) it sounds niiiice. Maybe cuz I used silver wire ^_^

how do you tell esr rating? is it written on the caps? i noticed u said uF and Volts, but didn't mention any number regarding esr.

according to epizenter forums: "I have the dock at work. I like it because I am not plugging into the head phone slot on top of unit to my table radio. Also, you can use the vision m adapter. the remote however I have no eed for." sounds like the vision m might work?

so where do these cap replacements typically occur. Because it seems like many ipod's get modified with "black caps" are those just faster or bigger?

Wondering if anyone knew the sonic difference in exchanging current capacitors for ones with a higher farend rating? thanks

lol. 3 options 1. fix it urself 2. ask another uk head-fier to fix it 3. send to rsa and wait. i dont see much choice

Hey guy, I just bought a zen sleek and heard it has a LOD. Wondering if anyone knew the pin-outs or is it the same as the ZVM? Rumors say that its the same as the IPOD.. any insights? thanks

still waiting on livewires! zen sleek and case. also mogami cabling.

So I'm guessing these little T-amps wont really stack up to my Onkyo 7xx series eh.

partial hijack: but considering the price between the m-audio are about double the price of the m200's and the new swans 1080mkII are half the price of the m200... at about 79. perhaps its the bang for buck?

dissapointment! no livewires today. gave them a call, and they said they'll ship it out today... wonder how long now

btw. what is OTOH?

perhaps try login in first? it'll be there. not the red arrow, but the button that its pointing at.

i'll get my livewires monday ^_^

I'm hopefully getting mine within 2 weeks. I'll post my impressions on another cable when I get them burnt in, hopefully before the new years. Think its worthwhile to document the recable and sonic differences?

im sure someone can provide a more technical explaination. but basically spdif is just another way of outputting a digital signal to your dac. Its a format developed by sony and phillips hence the first sp. Its not really a hybrid of either, just another format.

I'd go with a fuji finepix. The quality easily rivals canons and sony's. Canon's tend to be more expensive, and I can't stand the delay on the shutter of some sony's.
