QUOTE(Leolabs @ Sep 28 2010, 03:14 PM) Because the (manufacturer) cost might less than USD10,possibly around USD5 Even the chip(PCM2704) alone is hardly get at the price at USD10 Anyway,since it's quite cheap,compare to others,worth to buy one and playing with mod. Btw, it's really a very tempting price ready |

QUOTE(ArianneG @ Sep 29 2010, 04:58 PM) Ok-- sorry to interrupt the fun for a bit, but someone asked earlier if it can match or at least come close to the Ordnance-1 DAC for SQ. Well? Can or cannot? In the market for sub-RM100 DAC as a gift, and so I can keep my Ordnance at home... No idea Btw, maybe DaEMoNteNTAcLe can give some words tomoro night? |

QUOTE(iamyuanwu @ Sep 29 2010, 09:56 PM) This is even cheaper than DIY a Bantam DAC or Alien DAC. Wait the stock arrive, then just take 1 unit la, no need to make the decision that hard, it won't hurt your pocket at all I should... I shouldn't...I should... I shouldn't...I should... I shouldn't...I should... I shouldn't...I should... I shouldn't...... |

How about i organize one competition?
One USB PCM2704 will be awarded to the most creative design. :lust:Although the gift is not really that valuable, but this will encourage more people to show their creativity and talent |

QUOTE(DaEMoNteNTAcLe @ Oct 5 2010, 04:11 PM) if just playing slow songs, slightly above gumstick. Very thanks DaEMoNteNTAcLe for the kind review if fast paced, then below gumstick and/or clip+. if consider fullness of the sound body and bass alone, above gumstick. overall, unless i figured a way to make it faster sounding.. personally i would put it below gumstick. problem is.. if u are not using good phones or speakers and good source, the difference in speed would be small. either way it is still rm90 vs rm315. for the price, the value is there. Perhaps, using a very high input with very low output impedance buffer can cure the "slow" sounding? -> JISBOS |

QUOTE(ArianneG @ Oct 7 2010, 12:24 AM) Hmm. Burning in is also probably a good idea. I am thinking that everything needs burn in for audio stuff, even the DAC, strangely. I'm not sure if Shroom EB qualifies as slow then: because on Shroom EB the DAC was still somewhat slow, though it was not as obvious as when on cans. Maybe the slowness of detail we both heard was due to not enough power to drive the cans? Inadequate USB power is an interesting proposition. Well. If there's another meeting sometime at Jaben you're coming to, let me know. Can drag my lappy with me to see whether the 'not enough juice' theory holds or not. A question, is it an amp in the middle line? |

QUOTE(DaEMoNteNTAcLe @ Oct 7 2010, 08:33 AM) nope, direct connect.. u no good u no good =( currently the only amp in my hand is the go-vibe ppk. i have a silver cable and vdh interconnect to go along with it. well i wont be arnd for some time, i believe my bro is comin back to kl in another week? u might want to catch his unit instead. anyways im using a different usb 2.0 cable with twin input as of now. there's also the possibility the caps took sometime to charge because of the low usb power, or it was off for sometime already, so need to build charge. I didnt really notice the smearing we heard before on tubular bells. so i'll be running it thru a day with my old hd201 and see what happens tonight. later when i do have time i'll be putting it to the merciless test of the 300ohm HD650 + Symphonica, it will show all flaws without reservation seems like i'll be keeping this DAC after all. the low end weight and sound body is very nice. Added on October 7, 2010, 8:36 amoh chchyong89.. just kinda itchy, no offence here but.. this is for you.. =) An amp is recommended in the middle line between the DAC and your cans, then u can hear more of this DAC. Btw, i tried shp8900 directly into this dac and it distort like hell when i tune up the volume. It has a very great signal but the output of this dac is too limited to drive some cans directly. It's unlike some other dac which has opamp at the output stage that is capable to produce higher current output, (but opamp do colorize the signal") This post has been edited by chchyong89: Oct 7 2010, 12:15 PM |
