| Music player recommendations? Check out cowon america http://www.cowonamerica.com/. I use the iaudio7 and it is the best sounding player I've heard, far superior to any ipod. And it plays flac. Paired with a good headphone amp and good headphones it's a very decent portable so... | |
| Guitar's...what do the audionuts play? 1976 Alhambra, cedar top, solid rosewood back and sides. | |
| Musicians? Thanks for the responses (except for more obvious useless threadcrap from schipo).I'm actually kind of surprised at the popularity of ribbons and electrostatics so far. There are certainly a good variety of excellent systems. I'm getting a dangero... | |
| PC Laptop to MSB Gold DAC Suggestions? I have a similar setup to what you are going to be using. I have an MSB Gold Link III with powerbase, an M-Audio Audiophile USB, and an XP laptop. I use USB from laptop to the maudio, then into a Meridian 518 digital processor, which feeds the dac... | |
| How do I bypass KMixer in Windows XP Ok, well I finally got this to work and, more importantly, I think I understand how it works. For some reason, I had to reboot several times before foobar worked.Since the solution disables the sound controller in windows, making all features (inc... | |
| How do I bypass KMixer in Windows XP Thanks for the responses, but I'm not trying to disable the windows sounds, I'm trying to prevent them from being disabled. I guess I don't really understand how this can work. If you select "Do not use audio features" for a sound controller in th... | |
| How do I bypass KMixer in Windows XP Does unmapping the device the way Steve suggests prevent windows from making sounds (beeps, alarms, notifications, etc)? | |
| Foobar 2000 or MediaMonkey v.3? Er, that was supposed to be MediaMonkey vs. MediaCenter 13 vs. Foobar. My order of preference for sound is:1. Foobar2. Mediacenter3. MediaMonkeyMy order of preference for UI is:1. MediaMonkey2. MediaCenter3. Foobar | |
| Foobar 2000 or MediaMonkey v.3? I recently compared MediaMonkey MediaCenter 13 vs. Foobar 0.9.6 both with ASIO output and found MediaMonkey less clear, with a more muddled sound, particularly in the mid range, and considerably less dynamic range. MediaMonkey is also fat in the l... | |
| How can my setup be better? You could try ripping with EAC and playing ASIO using Foobar. Lots of other posts in this forum have details. | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? I suppose it is possible that the i-deck reads data directly off the ipod disk as data files, treating it as just a USB hard disk, and uses it's own software to play and decode the files. The only strange thing about that is that you can control w... | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? The Monitor Audio iPod dock, the i-deck, claims to bypass the DAC inside the ipod and take a digital bistream directly from the ipod to it's own internal dac, which sounds much better than the internal dac. I'm not sure exactly how this is impleme... | |
| Plasma 42 inch .... Yup, you're absolutely right, I think I must have been trying a delay that was way too high, setting to 10ms seems to improve things. Unfortunately I only have this setting on my DVD player, and not on my preamp... | |
| Plasma 42 inch .... If I set a delay for the audio, it only makes things worse because that is my problem - audio before video. I need a delay for the video, but I'm not sure if that is even possible... | |
| Plasma 42 inch .... Yes, you're right sorry, I meant the exact opposite of what I wrote, duh! My consistent sync problem is that the sound comes out before the video, and there is no video delay in components that I've seen... I have audio delays set on my components... |
