i dont think there is a need to have "skills" to buy DAC's.. Im sure a newb can get a $3000> DAC if he wishes. I think is a good buy, you can read the 'zero dac' thread and try to do some tweaks on it!

lol so ya i was stupid and ordered the wrong part NEWB . instead i got this -> LM4562MA SOIC 8 what can i do with this LOL

thanks st3ve , do i only need one or two? i will get it and see how it goes!

i ment 4562 .. ops. i opened it, is this basically a "plug and play" kinda deal? really new to this and dont wanna fry my new toy haha

anyone have a pictural guide as to how to change opamp? and how many i need? Im interested in getting the LM4526. Oh, and if i need to change any of the jumpers? thanks

i have the LD 1+ too. im considering getting the MUSE DAC , is the same design as the AUNE DAC but cheaper. Im getting it cause is more compact compare to the Zero. + i like the idea of having a switch so i can select between DAC or preamp. I think if you plan to do opamp rolling, i...

uDAC will be best for the buck ( and probably a part of the cheapest DAC's u can get) But if you can fork 500, then i suggest looking at Littledot's DAC.

I just recieved this amp with stock tubes. It sounds great , but im sure with new tubes and opamp rolling I can get more out of it. I have been noticing a lot of static noise after reaching 40+ in volume. The unit is next to a monitor , but it still produced small static noise when i placed...

not just audio gear, most electronic/hard goods in canada cost a lot more than down south. (e.g. Cars, Appliances, Televisions) themacgroup sells NuForce gears and other audio gear at a good price. Personally, if you want to actually save money, wait for used equipment here on the forum or...

the one on your link is a dac/amp. is the AUNE copy. this mini one is just a DAC. it seems like a simple build with the features I need (USB/SPDIF) just wondering if the sound quality is par with uDAC which is around 30-40 dollars more

Im looking for a DAC to use for my new desktop setup. I wish to use it with my LD 1+ and also with both my ATH iem's and SR225's i saw this on ebay by MUSE MUSE HIFI USB to S/PDIF Converter USB DAC PCM2704 on eBay.ca (item 280442659991 end time 27-Dec-09 10:35:17 EST) the prices is very...

themacgroup sells it for 109$ , they have the black udac.

ya . i emailed them about this issue. this is what a rep from their stored wrote (sent at 7:00am PST or 10:00am EST) Quote: Hi XXX The total price would be $99 for the uDAC and then $10 for shipping. If you pre order now you will receive it at $99. When we receive them next week and...

for canadians. my friend called themacgroup.ca (canadian based), they are taking pre-orders for the uForce for $99 + applicable taxes shipped. After pre-order is 10$ shipped to Canadian cities! Just preordered mine now they said it should arrive and be shipped in before first week of new years

has anyone in Canada purcahse this through NuForce? was shipping cost decent? it seems there is a canadian distributor for the uDAC, but they haven't replied me for a shipping quote for the past 2 days.

um, call me a newb, but how come i don't see the SPDIF output? I know it says "turn off volume to activate" but where is the actually output plug? Also, do you think this setup of ... netbook -> udac -> LD 1+ -> headphone (SR225, ATH CK300H) is a good setup?

the lack of a power switch in the Muse is definetly a negative for me. The idea or unplugging and plugging is not too appealing to me. But at that price point, it is very tempting.

I saw that MUSE was selling this.... 60W Linear Power supply.. 60W Linear Power supply for T-AMP TA2024 TA2020 - eBay (item 280424776710 end time Dec-16-09 12:00:29 PST) what is the purpose? It seems it is paired with their amps , but why would they need an external power supply for such...
