| D-Sonic vs Wyred vs .... Get the mAmp (3rd gen ICE modules) vs the SX/ST which use second gen modules | |
| Dragonfly 1.2 Feedback/Impressions ? If you can take the size, I really recommend the AMR-designed iFiAudio iDAC. I tried a couple of small sized USB-powered USB DACs like the DragonFly (<1.2), the iDAC and the Meridian Explorer. The iDAC is really the one to beat in my books. It ... | |
| Need suggestions for a USB and digital cable. If you are using the DAC2 DSD SE's USB input you only need a USB cable. No need for a separate digital cable. It pays to audition but here are some good bets -Wireworld PlatinumRevelations Audio Lab double head | |
| Wit's end with Gallo 3.1s The Gallos IIRC have side firing bass drivers. I can't recall if the pairs are mirror imaged. If they are you might want to see if you can swap them around. This way you might help prevent side wall reflections from the bass driver. If you have to... | |
| 352 khz problem A+ has a setting that allows you to limit the frequency limit of a USB interface. Check that it's not limited to 192kHz.Also are you connecting directly to the Antelope or do you use a USB-SPDIF/I2S interface that's limited to 192kHz? | |
| Upgraded power supply for the Wadia 170 I iPod dock I have the CI Audio PSU for the Wadia. I think it's well worth the upgrade BUT the iTransport is pretty old by now and I'd expect there would be one that uses the Lightning interface. I got mine ages ago and it's served me well for this long but I... | |

| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? The EMM is stunning, Rgs2. Did you upgrade to the XDS1 v2? | |
| New to headphone amps --- I'm wondering ..... How are you controlling the volume then?I find the headfi provides some advantages over a normal hifi system.The relative amount of power needed to drive cans (even something as difficult as a pair of Hifiman HE6) is a mere pittance compared to a ... | |
| New to headphone amps --- I'm wondering ..... How are you getting the signal from Tape Out to the headphones? | |
| why dsd I remember getting a launch PS3 many years ago. One of the first gen units that also played SACDs. I didn't get the hype.I compared the CD layer to the SACD layer and in my budget home theatre system, I didn't see what the hype was all about. And ... | |
| Marantz AV7701 There are ground loop isolators you can buy. At least you've identified the problem. Maybe see if these isolators can fix the problem for you | |
| Marantz AV7701 I'm using the 8801 with W4S and Bel Canto power amps. I don't encounter a hum. One of the main causes of the hum is the ground loop problem. Do you have a cable box attached to it? If you do, try disconnecting the cable box (power/HDMI/coax from c... | |
