HagUSB vs Other USB Interfaces/Devices
Audioengr - true indeed. It must have an ASIO-supporting driver. Many (read most) use generic drivers meaning that, even with programs like ASIO4ALL or ASIO2KS - the windows kernel / audio stack are involved. True ASIO drivers are specific to the ... 
HagUSB vs Other USB Interfaces/Devices
Herman....that is incorrect. There are DACs that support ASIO - but they must have USB input. It gets the signal via USB from the player (which as you state, must support ASIO output) and it must be able to utilize that data before sending it to t... 
HagUSB vs Other USB Interfaces/Devices
Hi there,I will be testing it this week (only got it a few days ago from overseas). I am not sure how USB will be, as it does not supoprt true ASIO. I am not sure how much difference it will make using ASIO4ALL; as opposed to running a direct digi...

Van Den Hul The Well Hybrid - Experiences/Opinions
Hi there and thanks. I can get this cable or the D-102 Mk III too, and I believe the latter is meant to be a better cable. Essentially I need something with detail, air, and which can add a bit of warmth without being bloated in the bass or rolled... 
Zu Gede: Opinion, Impressions, Comparisons??
From someone I know who has both (as well as around 20 other cables):***The IC-3 is an all rounder and really great value at its price. It is not the most detailed, most open, or most fluid, but the overall performance is pleasing to the ear. You ... 
Zu Gede: Opinion, Impressions, Comparisons??
Hi there,Thanks for the info. Two quick things:1. something I need to point out. If I go for the Gede they will be used, as I cannot get them new within my budget. Even if they were new, I cannot trial them as I am outside the US so shipping costs... 
Headphone Recommendations
Beyerdynamic DT-880s would fit the bill too methinks. 
Headphone
Firstly, I do not think there should be any issues regarding importing from Meier Audio or other international manufacturers. Check out how easy it is over at head-Fi. I live in South Africa where it is much more difficult (much higher shipping co...

New setup with computer as source??
The reason I want to use the Brick is because this new setup will REPLACE my CD player as a source, not simply be a supplement or secondary setup. I thus want the best possible reproduction of music. 
Any experience with the Nuforce Integrated Amp?
Hi There...anyone at all? 
Anyone Experienced With Revel Gems and Sub15/LE1
Hi there. Thanks for the reply. If I use an integrated amp with preamp outs, the Gem's will be running full range. The preamp out will then feed the LE1. Wouldn't that effectively cut the crossover/filter out of the equation? I believe the problem... 
Anyone Experienced With Revel Gems and Sub15/LE1
Hi guys. Thanks for the responses! Are these reported problems with the LE1 specific to the crossover? In other words, would using (as suggested above) the Gems in full range along with the LE1/Sub15 combo give the desired results (by bypassing th... 
Anyone Experienced With Revel Gems and Sub15/LE1
Hmmm...thanks for the info, I had no idea. The Sub30 is out of my price bracket unfortunately. The LE1/Sub15 I could get at a good price from the person I originally bought the Gems from. I am also fairly limited in terms of choice as I am in Sout...
