+E12 lagi , UD100 better then E7, how about E10 or E17

For DAC alone, I probably prefer UD100 over E10 and E17 right now.

This is another picture comparing the ODAC to the UD100.

the DAC arrived last friday, but since i wasnt home i had to take it today at the post office.

now, im using an old discontinued headphone by sony mdr-v150, the padding's seal is no more and the clamp is loose enough to fall of your head if you tilt too much.
but the DAC turned it into a whole new headphone. i noticed some details i had missed in some songs.
no amping though. but listening even at low volumes still produce good quality.

where do you stay?

Perhaps I can lend you an amp.

cyberjaya. im waiting for a new set of headphones though so you might want to lend it later.a
also, i dont have much lossless. 320kbps ya

what?

I use youtube for my music these days. I don't get to criticize others on their shitty sauces.


I'll be beck to cyber perhaps in one month+ or so.

oh my, i didnt check before posting. some words were clipped off at the end LOL
i have mostly 320kbps, and not much lossless formats is what i mean.

ya i listen to youtube a lot too. sure if you'll be in cyber in a month+ we can have a meetup.
was thinking about getting a DAP along with a new amp but then i think i'll hold that back in the meantime.

OT:Can I join the next cyber meetup? Am going to MMU cyber for this october intake.

what a coincidence, im in MMU too
i've never been to any meetups at all, its been only 2-3 weeks i had started to browse this Audiophiles section.

dafuq?

You were in MMU?

For masters? Which course? It's weird I've never met you before at all.

ya im still in MMU. degree of course, not masters.
im in FCM, interface design. i only go for class and then come back home.

Wow, I thought of making a new thread to ask is there any audiophile that are in MMU, and now I don't have too.

You're in MMU too? This is great, can learn a lot from you.

I'm too enrolling in degree, new student. This october intake, oh ya, I'll be in FOE.

Got mine yesterday.. But just pick it up at the post office this morning..

Still waiting for my XKDUN CK-700 to come and test this DAC.. and maybe later this month buy a headphone

Final sem.

Doing my blardy interns now then can graduate d. Late by one trimester because I switched my majors

Perhaps all of us could meet one of these days. chchyong89 is in my year too, FOE as well.

I really hope that we all can meet one day. I can audition this DAC too.

Whats a DAC? what does it do? whats the diff between the normal 3.5 mm port on my pc?

im a noob

thats great, welcome to MMU

DAC stands for Digital-Analog Converter. it converts the digital signal from your music source to analog so your speakers/headphones can play it.
your computer either uses an on board DAC or a sound card. the quality of the conversion depends on the hardware and configuration of it.

the difference between this DAC and the normal 3.5mm port on your pc is this one uses better hardware.
so it could convert the signal with minimal distortion or loss in the signal.

thats how i understand it, maybe chchyong89 could explain it better if im wrong.

so its just like a usb soundcard? why no casing? i taut its an amp

ya maybe like a USB soundcard

aah, no no. you going to need a separate amp for it
for me its enough to drive my headphones, so i dont need an amp. some headphones and IEMs will need it.
