thats great bro will check it out tonight. just wondering how comes you feel head-fi is btter are they more in tune with my thinking or just have more info? respects raju

guys found that weird hum it was the connection itself. when i went to do transfers for tape to pc i used the front connection just because the pc was faceing a different way and hey presto the sound was silent. still looking at a serious dac though. i have just seen the asus xonar muses plus and even higher. anyone have any info on this dac?

every one a quick thought couple of things i have just read about that got me thinking? 1. at low volumes the do devices only power a channel rather than both equally 2. is there a possability of haveing a battery back up for devices for a long journey like the old days. 3. also within this search looking for a robust sound like a hifi gives respects raju

thanks for that james will take a look at ur set up now respects raju

Hi Sophomore thanks you for repling i am currently looking at the website. i was just wondering is this a standard 16bit dac or have i logged onto the wrong unit. whats your take on haveing an upsampling dac rather than a standard bit unit? i can see it has the option for a btr chip which i dont mind going for. do you have one of these units?

hi everyone i have decided to set myself up with a portable stereo system. i have started with a pair of koss dj200 phones and i am looking to buy 3 things to partner these phones. 1.dac - FiiO 2.portable amp - JDS Labs - C5 Headphone Amplifier 3.player? maybe filo i know that the portable player will be expensive so just for now i am useing a htc phone that has a 32g memory card to store hd tracks at 320kbs. i would love to hear of any great large capacity players that i could use. i am also looking to use my dat player as well with tracks recorded from the hifi. i have seen a few things today as i started looking, that looked of interest. they are as follows - i know that the question how much will i spend will come up and this is hard but maybe 200 per unit? i saw this and it looks very nicely made, plus there is a bass boost that interests me a lot. JDS Labs - C5 Headphone Amplifier again looking at a portable dac i saw this lovely unit - FiiO the type of sound should be a smooth top end but detailed a wide open soundstage and deep tight bass. i know the koss have said to be not that bassy but there a start for now. if we could look at phones as well that would be great. its a system being built over time. music i listen to well thats from funk to ambient, hiphop to enya, drumn bass to classical respects raju God bless u in Jesus name

the amp is actually silent when nothing is connected. the sound is definately from the pc, the cables where all checked individually. its not a mains crossing over either. unusual is it not. i therefore thought what if i go down the root of useing an external dac as the new sound card?

through the pc for deffinate my friend. i have changed the mains to a triple shilded cable. changed the internal cables. changed the power supply to a btr one. it has reduced immensly the hum but its still there? so i thought maybe is a good time to go down the root of digital? what do you think? i have 2 pcs built by me, there clinicly clean-no dust-all coonections mint but still no silence

hi everyone i am currently running a pc through its internal soundcard affixed to the motherboard. i am looking to use the usb instead as the connection point. i have a wireworld starlight usb cable new and need advise on a dac. looking at various threads i am wondering if i could use a musical fidelity v dac as a good starter? now i also have a pair of active speakers i want to use for monitering. i am wondering which dac can feed those at the same time as the main amplifier? respects raju
