Personally I think driving K701's with a portable is a joke. You'll be able to play your music at ear-blasting levels, but without the finesse that a semi-good desktop amp would give you.

OK one problem, Kind of a big one, I have an old beater laptop, Compaq Evo N610c by bro gave me, when I use the USB it clips, I used a newer Toshiba and everything was fine. I tried, was using WMP and then tries iTunes and it seemed to fix it but then it started again, I used MediaMonkey, itunes, WMP, and QuickPlayer from cd and from the C: drive, still the same, any suggestions OTHER THEN BUY A NEW COMPUTER? I know it's a piece, that's why I got a DAC w/my Viper.

anyone know if upgrading RAM or Music player will help this situation? I'm running Windows 2003 Pro and a Pentium 4

A P4 should be enough. I'm not sure why your USB is dying. Perhaps you should try to reformat your computer before buying new hardware.

It could be a number of reasons. It could be that the bus itself has problems.

Thanks, I will try something later, I'm turning in thesis tomorrow and a little worried about messing with the computer right now. I think the Viper has great clarity but does lack some bass with the hd580's. With the Atrios the bass thumps which they did not do straight from the iA7 so I know the bass is there, burning in now.

Like I said, the HD580's aren't supposed to give you bass thump

The paper it comes with says it should last about 15 hours per charge.

Here's some pics of mines

Finally, my setup

Nice pics. Any luck in opening them up

 

[jamato8]

This is my favorite image so far! It really shows how shiny it is (like the Pico):

jam shoot me a PM if you can help, but I stated in the earlier posts that only one of my screws comes out with a 1/16 hex bit on my screw driver. The other ones just allow my bit to rotate in them freely as if they were circular. The 5/64 hex bit is too large for them. I really want to open this baby up to see what's inside, but I can't

Might be metric.

 

[jamato8]

Yes, as suggested above, a trip to the hardware store may be in order as it might be in metric. Metrics are available so. . . Maybe they should include one with the unit since it does come with dips.
