I had an almost identical problem with a Juli@ card, and was able to solve the problem There was ground interference traveling up the ground wire of my monitor, down the DVI cable to the onboard graphics card on my mobo which must have been poorly insulated, and from there to the vid card...

I just ordered a pair from J&R - they quoted me $250 over the phone, and I talked 'em down to $230 including shipping. So clearly it's still possible to get them for a lot cheaper than list, it just seems that Denon may have smacked people around regarding the published price.

I second the recommendation for active noise canceling like the Bose QCII. They suck in all conditions *other* than on a plane, where they really shine. Another option might be a pair of Senn HD280s. They've got some of the best passive noise reduction out there, and I've used them on many a...

Is it even worth trying the D7000s with the LDIII, or am I just going to end up disappointed and questioning my purchase? I really like my current setup, but need a closed can. Are there any other decent closed cans which will pair better with the LDIII? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm looking to pick up a pair of closed cans to avoid sound leakage issues when the wife is trying to work. My existing system is a Juli@ -> LDIII -> HD600 I've also got a pair of HD280s for work, but those aren't in the same league. I'm looking for a closed can with equal (or...

I highly recommend a little program called Speedfan: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer It allows you to automatically adjust the speed (and thus the noise) of the fans in your computer (CPU, chassis, VGA, etc) based on various temp readings. This allows you to...

I need toslink, since that's what I've got free on my Yamaha home theater system, but it would also be good to have coax, since I plan to eventual upgrade to an external DAC, but for now intend to use the analog outs to feed a LD MKIII. I can't find anything confirming or denying passthrough...

Quick question for 0404 PCI owners: Does this card support AC3/DTS passthrough on the SPDIF out? I've read conflicting reports, some say yes, others say no. It appears that the 0404 USB definitely does, so I'm wondering if that's the issue, or perhaps the new version of the 0404 PCI now...
