Pure Music...Really Bad so far...
Well, I'm having problems with itunes 11 and Audirvana as it will load music into a new feature of 11 called "up next". It loaded 9,779 songs after I hadn't used my system for a couple of days over the holiday, and pissed my mac mini off so I had ... 
tube dac
Hawk28,The chips are from Arrow Electronics here: onlinesales@arrow.com. The part number and Decription is PCM56P-K/DAC 1-CH 16 Pin PDIP Tube. These are the same chip that is in the Havana, just a higher grade which is the K designation. I believe... 
tube dac
Hawk28,Tubegroover described the Havana well, I really enjoy the presentation of the dac and while it isn't the last word in detail it really is very musical. Trying out different nos tubes allows for fine tuning. I also upgraded the Dac chips and...

The suggestion to reboot everything is a good one, something else to try is pray some contact cleaner on both the connection on you phone and on the dock. A friend of mine couldn't get her iphone to work in her dock and I figured out that her ipho... 
Experience with Monarchy Audio DIP
I have a dip classic I used for about a year while I still had a Cdp. It made a good improvement but I now use a mac mini with a M2tech Evo so no longer need it. If you are interested I could let it go for a low price, I just don't need it anymore. 
Thoughts from Joule preamp owners?
Mitch2,I upgraded my MK11 to the SE and I can tell you that the sound is the same only much better and more refined. The bass is cleaner and tighter but just as deep, the midrange is more detailed and the highs sparkle a bit more. All and all a go... 
Apartment system iPod to headphones
I have the Purei20 and also the Wadia i170 docks. Big difference in cost, no difference in sound that I can hear. As long as you get a dock that bypasses the iPods internal dac you should be good to go.

Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time
I have a Rowland Capri and when I was using it I left it on all the time per the users manual. The manual also stated that in the winter it gives deer ticks a warm place to live so they stay away from your butt! And Elizabeth, while your getting o... 
Class D amps?
Seadog1,The TBI Millenia MG3 is 35 wpc and is designed for speakers that are easy to drive. The guys over on Audio Circle are raving about it and the cost is only $500.00.I am not associated in any way to the product but when I get my new speakers... 
Class D amps?
There are a couple of threads going on Audiocircle in the low wattage circle about the TBI Millenia MG3. This is a class BD amp that people are comparing favorably to much more expensive class A amps and even set amps.

Eugene81,It sounds like you went ahead and did the mods. I am very happy to here you've gotten such good results. I was planning on buying the Octave and using the Havana in my beach house rig, but maybe I will buy the Octave, Mod. the Havana and ... 
Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC
Eugene81,Your statement hits my feelings about the Havana on the head. I love the tonal qualities of the dac but I wish at times I had more detail in the music. The opamps take the detail up a notch but I find myself wanting for more. Thanks for t... 
Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC
I too have been following this thread with interest as these are the two dacs I have been considering. I currently own the MHDT Havana with upgraded opamps and I'm looking for someing with a bit more detail and seperation of instruments. Please ke...
