    Peete! Is there a part 3 to your epic review coming? Did I miss it?

    Hey Peete. I don't want to be a bother but is part III of your review still in the works? Did I miss it? I didn't see a link on the FAQ thread for it if you did. Thanks for taking the time for the rest of us.

    Marantz 1060 multiple speaker setup

    I believe that the amp puts the speakers in parallel when using both outputs. This would make your speakers incompatible to use at once. Most of the vintage amps I've seen say you can use one set of 4 ohm speakers but if using two sets they must be 8 ohm. www.audiokarma.org is a great site to...

    Many AV Receivers/Stereo Integrated amps do NOT use opamp powered headphone jacks

    Deoxit D5 to clean all switches and pots. Deoxit Faderlube F5 to lube the parts after cleaning. I got mine at Guitar Center. There is a good pictorial on Audiokarma Home Audio Stereo Forums

    The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)

    I remember cranking the dial with my dt-770 80 ohm a couple of times within the first two days. I never go above 11 or 12 on any recording now.

    Stock Zero Dac or Upgraded Zero Dac?

    The one you mention is $220 while the Compass is $258 and FAR superior in every way. The $258 for the Compass is also an introductory price that is pretty much the cost of parts and labor only. At the end of May they will go to full price which many think will be over $400.

    Good headphones for Trance and other electronic music for around $150 or less?

    Do you have an amp? What is your source? I use Beyerdynamic dt-770s for electronic but they need some power. An ipod or laptop won't do them justice.

    What did Dire Straits do to their amps to get that sound?

    Looks like the members at AK like Mark more than they do here! What did Dire Straits do to their amps to get that sound? - AudioKarma.org Home Audio Stereo Discussion Forums

    The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)

    This is what I am talking about. I have the compass oriented like the diagram shows. The diagram shows the jumpers being vertical. On the jumper settings pic to the right the jumpers are horizontal. I now understand that you have to turn the compass sideways with the headphone amp section...

    The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)

    Under the lid the jumpers are horizontal. On the board they are vertical. The pic that was just posted is also a little misleading. The chart shows jumpers 1 and 2 being next to each other but on the board they are on top and bottom of each other. I now notice that the jumpers are...

    The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)

    I have a question about the jumpers. When you take off the lid the jumpers are shown going from left to right while on the board they run up and down. If I have the compass in front of me like the diagram under the lid shows, is the correct neutral setting to have the jumpers on the left pins...

    ASIO quit working in Foobar AND Winamp

    I am having a bit of a problem. Last week I had installed Foobar to go along with my winamp to try it out. I had been reading about ASIO and decided to give it a try. I downloaded Otochan's ASIO for winamp and ASIO for Foobar. Both had been working fine until today. Now in winamp, when I...

    The model for sale is indeed the upgraded version. They have changed the "super" button to "bypass" instead.

    DT770/80 + what amp? HELP!

    If you purchase the zero from the ebay seller wsz0304 you will also get a usb to optical adapter if you don't have optical or coax on your soundcard. This is how I am using mine and it sounds great. Yes the Zero can be used as a preamp. I have my computer going to the zero for headphone use...

    DT770/80 + what amp? HELP!

    I had wanted an amp for my dt700's for a while and started reading up on them. I stumbled across the MASSIVE thread on the Zero DAC/amp combo. It can be purchased with upgraded parts for under $200. I bought one and was absolutely floored with what I was listening to. I was once again hearing...

    Amp for going with the DT770/80

    I am in the same situation. I have a pair of Beyer 770s and a pair of Alessandro ms-1s. I am looking to get an amp in the $200-350 range to compliment these cans. My budget is really $250 but I know how this hobby can be. I currently use an X-fi Extreme Gamer card and 320 kbps mp3s. First, I...
