Ok. After reading a lot of information on the internet and use my dictionary to translate some words now I know what I need to DIY. Thanks!

I've been enjoying the ODAC a ton. It's my first external dac. But are there any comparable DACs that have the same amount of resolution but are maybe a little less bright? Perhaps its that I'm pairing it with the O2/HD600, but there are times it can all get a little too much for me and I'm not really treble sensitive. I've had the O2 and HD600 with my Ipod classic and not noticed this as much... If that hadn't been the case, I'd consider I need a warmer amp, but I've been happy with the O2 in the past.

dude, why not use an EQ instead of using your dac or amp as an EQ?

what media player do you use?

Okay, I need some help here with my odac. I've had mine for about two months or so and it's performed absolutely flawlessly. I've had it plugged into a usb header direct to the mobo. 
 
Today I needed that header to test with another pc. After I finished I put it back and plugged the odac back in. Fired up the music but now there is a crackle in the upper mid range. Switched over the e17 and there is no crackle. I switched the odac usb cable to another port straight off the mobo and the crackle is back.
 
HELP!!

Anyone?

I had a similar problem with foobar. What are you using?

 

[jono454]

Was thinking of hooking up a ODAC to the Audioengine A2 speakers. Does anyone have any experience with these kind of setups?

Foobar+waspi. Does the same thing with DS in foobar also if that's what you're thinking.

Well, I put sennheiser hd 800 directly on the ephifany edac.
I see the paradise.
Yes, in my s3 with neutron player I had to down the volune of 7-8 db, this, in teory, not very good, but I am very surprised about the super fantastic quality of sound out of my S3 with syhas kernel.
I am not crazy, please try this with high impedence headphone and share your experience.

In the preferences, make sure you have the playback options you want: wasapi push for odac and 24bit output data form. That solved my similar problems.

The problem seems to be resolved. I uninstalled everything related to odac on the pc, rebooted, plugged the odac back in and it work fine.
 
thanks...

Seriously? And no amplifier in between?
