My Emotiva Stealth DC-1 external sound card USB port stopped working some years ago, so I have been using the optical port ever since. I need a new computer and don't think new motherboards come with SPDIF out. Anyone ever use a USB to SPDIF(optical) converter? I could use it to get optical to...

Not sure on a consensus but I used Neutrik NTP3RC-B right angle plugs and they are nice. Check it out and see if it looks alright for your application.

Hi guys, I've had a couple issues with my DC1. I bought mine in 2013 and over a year ago it had display issues and Emotiva found a loose ribbon connector and failing usb IC. They seated the ribbon connector and replaced the CM6631A IC. Now I just found it with the display off and it was not...

Hey I have an RCA cable I bought from monoprice that I run from my Emotiva stealth DC1 to my subwoofer, but the plug is really loose at the sound card and pulls out easily. Apparently there are locking plugs? I've never had any of those. Should I build a cable or buy a made up one? Looking...

Hey guys I am having trouble with my computer not playing through the Stealth DC1.  It's been fine until recently, the display was messed up and then soon after had usb connectivity issues until it would not connect at all.  I am running Win 7. This is what Emotiva had to say once they got the...

Hi, I am making up a cable to run from the subwoofer pre-out rca's on the back of the headunit in my car to the trunk where the amp will be. What size cable should I be using? The cable length will be 15 feet I would guess. I have worked with Mogami 2893 26awg quad cable before, is 2534 24awg...

Hi,       Background: I am getting Mogami 2893 quad cable to make a cable to connect to the back of my new car headunit(RCA) to a pocket in my dash(mini) where I can stash my Fiio X5II.    I would also like to make a mini to mini cable in case I want to use 3.5mm aux port that comes on the...

No I'm looking for female 3.5mm to male rca

Well, yeah, besides that it's male; I'm looking for female.  I really didn't look at ebay, wasn't sure if quality was a concern.

Hi, I am looking for a stereo RCA male cable to female RCA cable taht is around 10 or 12" long.  I couldn't find one in that length on monoprice.  Not sure where to find something like this.  I am running it from the RCA aux input on the rear of a car headunit to a tray lower down in the dash...

I have also experienced that issue.

There is like a half second delay when I click on artist to clicking on artist, album, etc. Or clicking through folders, or changing screen view from "now playing" to main menu, etc. It's not that bad but slower than the quick Sandisk Sansa and Apple Ipods. Those were near instant I'd say.

Anyone else think clicking through the menus is slow?

I recently got a Fiio X5 2nd gen and I will be using it mostly in my car to play music via aux input.  I am looking for a new headunit.  What specs should I be paying attention to on the headunit.  Should I pay attention to aux input specs?   Aux input specs on a couple Kendwood headunits...

Does anyone know a place in Connecticut to buy headphones?  Like in a store to at least try some on?
