Im also interested in the comparison between an o2+odac vs the c5d

Considering looking at a c5d as a portable dac/amp combo. But based on what I've managed to read from this thread, most of you are c5 owners and generally people have not noticed too much change going from source to source with the c5d. Any of you c5d owners can comment on the built in dac vs...

Twisted Pear Opus?

ive been digging around looking for an answer and skimming this thread... but cant come to a definite conclusion to the answer to wither the Buffalo can be be hooked up directly from the base buffalo board to the output without the use of a ivy/ballise? if it could would i need output caps like...

im still debating over spdif or usb.... but im leaning towards coaxial, the Spdif transceiver board should be able to handle that duty right? And the 15VA transformer is the proper transformer to use? will i need a switch for 115v or 230v?

Yeah the SPDIF module im thinking of runs off of the wolfson chip. So all i will need without a ballsie or a zapfilter (for now) are caps? any reccomendations?

What is congee? i know it more as "chook" if they are the same thing... but thats probably because all my relatives are cantonese

I figure ill threadjack instead of making a new thread. Lets say i buy a kit (LCDPS, DAC module, and SPDIF board), all i need is wiring, a case, and the appropriate jacks? I assume ill need a 15A transformer that twisted pear sells. And that should be it to get it running on the ground?

im pretty sure youll need a power amp if you want to run the little dot on speakers, unless they are really low resistance speakers. im curious about the little dot vs millet hybird though

Really? No one?

Whoops will someone move me to IEM's?

SO i did it finally, my fingers are raw and gritty, ive got boogers made of soder in my nose. But the shure e4's have been... RECABLED! So basically you dissasemble the earpeice including the small rubber washer and the metal "spacer/hold" ring, get a small screwdriver and where a crack is...

Can anyone comment of the differences between a lightly modded Zahalou vs a stock Twisted Pear Opus? And I assume that the opus will have more headroom for modding and additons in the future due to the modular nature of its boards? Currently running HD600's through a Sansui SS amp. Looking...

Ok that makes me feel MUCH better. its being shipped out of orange county and the US. Id rather not deal with ebay over the lake. thanks mate

I was surfing around ebay looking for a replacement for my dead 80gb hdd, and all the replacement parts seem to come from china. Has anyone bought one from these guys and have a vendor they reccomend? i was looking at elechina but im quite hesitant to order parts from outside north america.

Ill be riding a Reign X Full Fox suspension, Saint podless shifters, with Code 5 brakes pretty soon here if all goes well ^_^

My title basically. I need to recable my headphones... theyre good from above that Y joint so i was thinking of hacking it off a bit above there and just simply joining it with some new cable all the way down to a new jack. Anything wrong with my idea? And i was reading on that guy in japan...

I actually heard that a Zahalou Modded a little outperforms a Bresford....might want to double check that Another option is an Opus DAC by Twisted Pear Audio. Its supposed to be a really really awesome dac for a low price of 200$ (base kit + Case and Jacks, etc.)

My shure e4g's do the same thing occasionally...though im less adamant about cleaning them...swapping ports also alleviates the problem for me

I definately hear that the highs dont have that bite to it....but thats about it...i dont hear any better highs or lower higher impact bass...nor do i hear the famous organic, wide, deep soundstage, and this is testing with multipule vinyl's Queen, Bad Co, Eagles, Foreigner, etc.

Supply and demand, same for tubes, when they were manufactured they probably costed 70-150% less
