None of your players handle LPCM? Should dig mine out and see what's what - except that the battery's shot

Maybe. It's been so long since I've used them that my memory is probably just failing.

My new years resolution is to cut out all fast food, soda and alcohol from my diet.

The hardest one will be fast food. I love Mcdoubles.

You'll live longer (at least, it will SEEM like forever... )

If I remember back, I did a quick test to compare 256k atrac to 320k mp3 and found the atrac to be closest to the LPCM source. My player is also one of the recentest models that supports 1gb discs and has the latest atrac codecs

Thanks man! I've been sitting on a ton of unfinished and partially written reviews. Just haven't had the motivation to write, until now apparently, haha.

I can see your point on all except the Alcohol, nothing like a cold beer after mowing the lawn or camping.

Which one do you have?

Finally got my usb dac working. Found it in a cardboard box in a corner of an audio store in Japan. Apparently the wrapping said "broken micro usb port" in Japanese. In hindsight the $20 price should have been a hint too. Anyway, fixed it by soldering a new usb port into place. Now it's time for a test drive!

I have this one:

 
Nice little unit. Except the OLED screen is impossible to see outdoors

 

[nmatheis]

Cool. I've got this one still but am missing the remote and can't find one on ebay

All others are gone now, but here's another I owned that was very nice. Should've kept it, too...

Guys, I've decided to get a balanced desktop amp but how do I get a balanced extension cable?

XLR? 2.5 mm TRRS? 3.5 mm TRRS? Kobiconn?

 

[peter123]

XLR? 2.5 mm TRRS? 3.5 mm TRRS? Kobiconn?

The amp has XLR 4 pin. I've found an adapter from 4 pin (male) to 3.5 TRRS (female) so a 3.5 mm TRRS or a 4 pin XLR would work. I've found some cheap 3.5 mm TRRS cables but I'm not sure they're balanced, I'm honestly a bit confused
