Hi,   I currently own a pair of HD-650's and Shure SE215's. My main source will be a MacBook Pro with a Dragonfly 1.2 DAC.   I'm due to go traveling doing the digital nomad lifestyle, everything I own in a 40lt carry on. The HD-650's are to big to take unfortunately and being open back are...

Fantastic it works for you. Not got any further diagnosing my issue, hopefully can rule out the stepdown transformer if works ok for you. It's possible I may just of got a bad Magni.   Jason did respond to a PM on here and said he'd get Alex to send out a new unit so hopefully all is well...

http://www.squeezeplug.eu/ Comes with MPD support, it should be pretty much work out the box and save you configuring your own distro.   Do you own a pogo plug already? If not I'd probably go for a rasberry pi + cheap ebay case.

The people in this thread with the step down transformers and waiting on the magni to be delivered or vice versa, do you have both yet? Have you had any issues or do they work ok?   Still waiting on a response from Schiit on diagnosing/resolving my issue.

Hi Jason,   I sent a email to support just before my post on here. Not heard back yet but just seen your reply on here. I am using the supplied power adapter with a stepdown adapter. Is the internal fuse something I can check myself?

The power supply arrived today. My Schitt don't work.   Checked the output of the supplied power brick and is at 18v so the convertor looks to be working, must be a faulty Magni :( .

Picked my Modi/Magni up today after paying the customs charges. I've ordered http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000NJ26X2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 just waiting for it to turn up now and hopefully it works.   Looking on ebay looks like HP printer power supplies may...

When you get your dac you can plug it in and get the device name / number using the "aplay -l" command then type Code: gedit ~/.asoundconf Which will bring up a editor if you are running gnome. Otherwise you could use good old vi Code: vi ~/.asoundconf The "~" is a shortcut to your...

In linux (running ubuntu) i set the following in my ~/.asoundconf file to output via optical to my Zero Dac/amp. Code: pcm.!default { type hw card Intel device 1 } You get the card and device number from "aplay -l". Device 1 is optical on my built in Intel sound chipset, device 0 is the...

Blimey, this thread has certainly increased in size since I last looked and purchased my Zero. Me and the girlfriend got our own place recently so not had any nagging parents and thus no need to use the Zero with my HD650's as much. However I got the zero connected to my computer via...

I have just got my first headphone setup based on the info found on here. 99.9% of my listening is done at home while on my computer, the rest using my ipod. I brought some live wire custom mold earphones to use with the ipod when out on my motorcycle. The livewires sounded so good i tried...

Received my free samples today from Linea Technology, not bad since they said up to 14 days and it's been 2. They didn't include the LT1364 for the dac so I am stuck with just the 2 LT1469CN8#PBF in the headphone amp at the minute. I used needle nose pliers to remove the old op amps as it was...

Well picked up the Zero from work. Them blue LED's on the front are bright!!!! It's also a fair bit heavier than I was expecting. It has certainly stopped the noise from my Livewire IEM's when listening back via Computer -> Optical -> Zero. With the Livewires it sounds OK to me (keep in...

My Zero was delivered yesterday to work looking at the tracking info. Didn't have chance to pop in yesterday to pick it up so am going in later on. Also received some Sennheiser HD650's off ebay today with a Cardas cable upgrade to go with the Zero. I've also orderd some samples from...

I am not sure with the soundcard. If you play audio cd's through your computer these are passed straight though the digital out into the dac, your computer does nothing to them. If you look at the alsa docs it has some links to some dts files to test pass through. I'm only using a logitech...

The ZeroDac only has digital input, no usb. This means your operating system has nothing to do with the Zero, all you need is a digital output connector on your soundcard or motherboard. I have a Zero dac currently shipping, it will be used with my ununtu machine as with compiz enabled etc it...

WooHoo, Just got my shipping number, it's on the way. I've got lost in this thread with all the talk of swapping opamps etc. Can someone explain how you swap these? Do you have to de-solder them and replace with a new one or do these simply just slot into a socket? I will probably...

I've just sent a email aswell about ordering one. I asked, If he had any in stock Estimated shipping time Total cost including delivery I got a short response saying cost is $180, no mention of my other questions. He also sent a paypal invoice. Going off the other info in here I took...

Anyone listened to the Virtual Haircut with their livewires? Virtual Haircut The scissor effect cutting near your ear actually had me thinking some one was cutting their.

I am using them on my 80gb Ipod. I get a slight hiss when plugged in with no music, this disappears though when you hit play.
