Furutech GT2 is good choice smile.gif

Yupz, just got the Furutech cable... need some burn-in, how long you run to get it's sound stable?
I heard Nuforce Icon HDP is good too
Have you tried the new Bladelius DAC? it's nice. smile.gif But it's just a pure usb DAC.

QUOTE(hongrui @ Aug 3 2011, 06:48 AM)
the usb cable, if you guys are interested, i'll post more details when i get mine.

Bro hongrui, what model you using?

i got dacport, noneed the bladelius... rm2k leh, lol
tested the bladelius on speaker system, sounds good.

Unable to PK with dacport as dacport is headphone jack out, the bladelius is rca out, so different cable will be used.
You try go PK with HDP vs Bladelius then tell me how good it is, hehe...

I recommend Nuforce Icon HDP,price is about rm1300~rm1500,very powerful small size desktop dac,no matter couple with headphone,iem and speaker,just need order from their website

I guess i'm the one bring it in in malaysia?anyone,haha

QUOTE(Alpoyoz @ Aug 6 2011, 10:46 AM)
had u ever tried dacport before? how do u compare vs HDP? (symphonica-ed setup)
*
Haha..i don hav dacport to compare,but i seen the review from head-fi hdp can slightly win the dacport and other portable dac like pico,ibasso D4 etc as well,plus hdp got coaxial input,that is much better than usb input smile.gif

To techmy

Congrats for purchased
Furutech Gt2 had amazing sound if u compare with "chicken" usb cable
Bladelius dac i know what is it,i didn't try yet~don tell me u grab it already? xD

wondering here got anyplace to test bladedius?i'm just know online taobao got sell it,hard to compare too if don have standalone amp~~but i like it can be simple setup,simple usb plug to computer and rca out to amp~

Imagine, if you upgrade to Bladelius, with standalone amp, you not only can power your headphone nicely, you can power speakers too. hmm.gif

just read the review provided by Windcent.. it's a good read and thanks..
based on the review, the DAC appears to be very promising.. and the reviewer really writes up a good and very detail review..

is it on par with nuforce icon?

yeah,why don u open thread to sell dacport staring now?haha...once got Bladius u need confuse to buy amp too brows.gif
by the way
got any review for Furutech Gt40?

my mind told me perhaps use standalone dac to standalone amp will be much better,because that standalone is direct line out to amp 1,didn't by pass to another process that "volume control"...like case ipod direct to amp but without lineout dock

that new mini to rca cable quite expensive too??

Furutech Gt40?? just felt the headphone amp not enough gain for my liking, other area not sure...
But it is cheap all in 1 solution set, got DAC... Headphone Amp, RCA Out & has Phono Stage.

I using Maverick A1 Amp, hehe... Dacport baby to work as preamp. LOL
If want, i can sell and upgrade, but Dacport is so nice i can unplug from my home rig and use directly with laptop (usb powered) connect headphone on the move. wub.gif

My mind told me that too, but i still use my dacport for the job.
As for the volume part, i put full volume on dacport. hmm.gif
Somemore i just purchased a new mini to rca cable, if i upgrade to bladelius now. doh.gif

Ya, the pcwork's mini rca cable rm799 cry.gif
My dacport as a dac preamp is more expensive than my maverick A1 amp, and my usb cable + mini rca cable is more expensive than my dacport.

icon_question.gif i spent more money on cable.

Now using the Furutech Gt2 usb cable, Windcent also using this.
improvement? Yupz... on sound. LOL

stupid me now testing the usb cable plug to external harddisk to test, blame Windcent, he insist me to test see if got differences. No difference ler.

My mistake, it's no difference if use for External Harddisk.
