I don't know much about high end audio and all that stuff I bought the d2000 because heard its very comfortable and has decent SQ with lots of bass.  I found the d2000 to be very comfortable but the bass was lacking.    I don't know why I'm not hearing what everyone else is hearing.  Is it...

Decided to go with the Maverick D1   I just purchased the Fostex T50rp and realized that I'm finally going to be forced into getting an amp.   It would be nice if the Amp/Dac worked well with all of my headphones that I currently own (all headphones are in my sig. but the most important...

So I was looking to buy the NuForce uDac, but then saw the Musiland Monitor 02 for a little more. Hmm the 02 is advertised as an external soundcard as opposed to a dac.. whats the difference? Im pretty new when it comes to this stuff. Is the uDac a better deal because it has a combined amp? Thanks!

I am going to begin this hobby. I will be getting a pair of HD555's in a few weeks. I only have an on-board sound card on my PC and don't feel like getting a better one due to the fact I do not plan on using speakers, just headphones.  So, I want a good USB DAC (and amp) for around $100. If...

I have come to the conclusion I need the Musiland Monitor 02. But...   1. Is eBay the only place I can buy one? (Does anybody on here have one for sale? ) 2. Do I have to use any proprietary software? (Since there is no knob) 3. Should I get an amp (eventually)?  4. If so what amp...

Ive been searching for over 5 hours looking for a  pc transport to go  with a new Benchmark dac1 (non-usb) I will be ordering, but still no luck yet. All recommended cards have no windows 7 support or are no longer for sale, not even on ebay. I heard somewhere that bit perfect is recommended, so...

Preamble:   I started a thread a few months ago named “USB to SPDIF converters shoot-out: EMU 0404 USB vs. Musiland Monitor 01 USD vs. Teralink-x vs. M2Tech hiFace” that was closed a few days ago. While my initial intent was for the thread to be a place where people could share their...

Hi all,   I just caved in and bought a pair of W1000x headphones for myself on a recent holiday. It's a wonderful pair of cans to my ears and I have only praises for it.   The problem however, is that I auditioned these headphones with the Luxman P-1u. Obviously, if I actually had the...

Review: Jkeny’s modified Hiface A few months ago I started a thread here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f7/usb...hiface-449885/ where I compared a few usb to spdif converters. So far I had used in my system 6 different usb converters and the M2tech Hiface was my favourite. A few weeks ago...

tubes? cables? dac? suggestions? :-) source is lossless flac -> asus xonar essence ST (using as dac)

Not an all-inclusive list by any means, but these seem to be the most popular. There will certainly be many "it depends" with answering these, so this is purely subjective and based on YOUR preferences.   GD-Audio Sparrow Basic NuForce Icon uDAC ZERO DAC EF2A

I was hoping to use my Musiland Monitor 02 US on my work computer in a medium security environment. I think it would be allowed, so long as I do not have to install third-party drivers.   Would I get basic functionality (DAC, Amping) with the default windows drivers? Or not work at all?  ...

Hello everyone,   It seems long posts don't garner much interest, so I'll keep it short and simple this time. Besides a soundcard from Asus or Auzentech, what are my options for an external dac/amp or dac+amp for driving HD600's, along with SRH840's and my Audioengines? That in itself...

So after lurking about this this site for a few days I have come to realize I need a DAC.  My situation: For simplicity's sake lets say I only listen to music via the computer, like say very decent Macbook + 320mp3 -> headphone jack -> "Bose Around-Ear Headphones" So I have been making a...

Hey guys, this is my first post here though I am very active on overclock.net under the same user name. I've come across a decision of what sound card to buy, and a couple people pointed me over here, so here goes, I'll copy/paste the post.     This is seriously driving me crazy. I just...

    My friend gave me a musiland monitor 02 usb as a gift (a toy) he bought from Pacific Valve online store without any instruction manual or cd drive.  I sent an email to Pacific Value custome service and asked them email me the instruction manual or gave me some guidance to install the DAC...

How do you hook up a Musiland 02 US? I don't hear anything out of it and I plugged everything in and everything.

Has anyone got this? How does it sound etc. been considering some chinese computer solutions this being one of them. the others were the Zero Dac and the mini USB Dac + Headphone Amp Mk2. anyone recommend any of them over the monitor? this is the musiland item btw USB Digital Sound Card...
