oh my... this is soooo tempting...

i bet it would look awesome between two pieces of clear acrylic...

@Najmods: may i ask a question? I wanna try WASAPI with my foobar. all i have to do is paste the plug-in file into foobar's component directory right? do i need to install/download anything else? thanks in advance!

i see. Thanks for the reply. gonna try em both.

tried both WASAPI and ASIO, and seems like WASAPI is so much easier to work with.
@ArianneG: I read somewhere that if u're using a USB DAC, and u want to use WASAPI with foobar, u must set Buffer length <1000ms, and Output format must be set to 16-bit. Sound properties in Control panel should also set to 16 bit, 44100Hz (CD Quality). But I cant remember the link though...

@ArianneG: Let's hope it works!

maybe we can make a thread to show off our own casing for this DAC in the future. that would be interesting.

now this is getting interesting!

u need to change ur signature bro, or else mod will nuke it.

besides converting, u can use some software to separate the tracks as well. such as CUETools. basically it just cuts the thing without converting it.

really? aisey... didnt notice that... sorry about that... then i guess convert would be the best option then...

i think it should be able to work well with the AD700 without an amp. the AD series from audio technica is easy to drive. im using an AD500 myself. anyway, will let u guys know how will it work my AD500 as soon as i got the item.

Added on October 18, 2010, 3:23 pmFinally got the item. doesnt have any problems driving my AD500. in fact it sounds a lot louder now. 10% volume with the DAC is equivalent to 20% without DAC. Comfortable listening volume is anywhere between 4 to 16% volume.

dun have to worry about the bass, cos this dac managed to improve the bass of my AD500 (the AD series is known for the excellent mids and soundstage, at the expense of sacrifing the bass). im not sure what audiophile term should i use to describe it, but it just sounds better, more pronounced, giving u the feel of the bass that u're looking for in a song, without being too punchy or causing distortions. hope im saying it right... but in my opinion, the way it improves the lower spectrum feels somehow more suitable for slow songs such as ballads, slow rock, certain types of jazz. probably not best for techno and trance. but i might be wrong, im really a noob here... do forgive me if im wrong...

As expected from a pro! Thanks for the thorough explanation!
there sure are a lot of things that i still need to learn from the audiophile world... umm, would u mind commenting on the mids and the highs with this DAC? is it improved as much as the lower frequencies? cos i find that they're somewhat muffled...
