Audioquest DBS System
1. Push the button on each battery pack: if green light comes on, you are good; if not, replace the battery (not the whole pack, just the battery). 2. Supposedly the batteries will last "years." 
Problem with USB audio
Does anyone think upgrading the RAM from 2G to 4G will solve this problem? 
Problem with USB audio
During my conversation with a Benchmark engineer, I was told to stop processes that I don't use. I googled the ones that seem to be taking more resources, but read that they shouldn't be removed. I did give all the priority of Foobar "7" (1-7, I a... 
HRS Isolation damping plates
I have two of them. After I tried the small one on my Benchmark DAC1 USB, I got a medium one to try on my Luxman P-1 headphone amp and PS Audio P500 Power Plant, which I have found to consistently benefit from weights on its top. Somewhat surprisi... 
Best power cord for Subwoofer?

Weights on top of equipment to dampen vibration
Has anyone tried Silent Running Audio's Isodomes? 
Weights on top of equipment to dampen vibration
Most (if not all) of those in the vibration control business seem to advocate NOT stacking components w/o some kind of vibration control between them because (they say) this would cause the stacked components to share all the vibration. 
Weights on top of equipment to dampen vibration
musicfile, you might want to check the Mapleshade website as they have some choices of brass weights (2 sizes) . I actually use them right now like them quite a bit and am considering upgrading to their micropoint brass weights. One interesting th... 
DAC1 or DAC1 USB?
It just occurred to me I did not put "the" in front of "usb and coax" that might be the reason for losing you.
