Must_fill_Sata_ports. So much empty room, feels like a waste to me.

Pops and clicks out of the uDAC-2? The only thing ng that's ever came out of my uDAC (1), is music.. I thought the second time around, things were suppose to get better?

Thinking more about this, they are probably not pops and clicks so much as dropouts.  I'm guessing these are the result of data transfer issues and tend to be far more common if I'm trying to use my Surface 2 for something in addition to listening to music.  Anyway, I'll have a microStreamer tomorrow evening and have my fingers crossed the problem goes away. Maybe the asynchronous communications will help? It's possible anyway.

Best of luck! Let us know if your problem is fixed.

At least he didn't build it in a Corsair 900D, haha.

That'd be amusing though.

That cable looks AMAZING, must cost a small fortune...

Coming together slowly. Tilted the Opals down a bit since this pic. Aim is to eventually have an iMac rather than a Mini + monitor, although ideally I'll probably wait until they do Retina/4K iMacs... might grab a 27" 1440p screen in the meantime though and update to a newer Mini LOL. Also need to sort out cabling, room treatment, lighting and a load of other stuff... least I have the DAC and speakers I want now, although the Opals are ultra efficient or something and I've had to order a couple of 20db in line attenuators as otherwise I'm having to go heavy on the NAD's digital volume to get reasonable listening levels.

 


Excellent choice there. If my Klein+Hummel O 300D's ever die on me, the Opals would be very high on my list of candidates as replacement. For a pair that costs so much less than the O 300D's, it's gotten the same level of rave reviews across the board in the pro audio circle. I've yet to hear them myself, but all the reviewers I trust loved the Opals.

Sold the Xonar STX as well as the NAD C325 Bee and bought the new NAD D 3020 Hybrid amp.
 
Beautiful sound, better than the 325, more pure, more clarity and tighter bass extension.
 
Connected directly via async USB,  and powering Tannoy V4 floorstanders and Senn HD595. aptX Bluetooth from the Galaxy Note 3 as well
Since I have my PS3 plugged into the PC monitor (27" 1440P) it made sense to route the audio via this as well. No more analogue!
 
As far as cabling goes, well it's digital so I didn't spend a fortune on it... QED 2m Performance Graphite USB interconnect, braided 5m toslink, CA thick gauge silver speaker cable + bananas:

I like the picture, That looks like a great solution and a nice way of keeping things in order

Thanks!

It really has saved so much space and the sound is purer which I'm loving

Hey drewTT, didn't you have the Paradigm S1's before?  What made you get rid of them?  I was thinking of getting them for my PC setup.
