any reviews on the Fubar? What's the reason you choose the Fubar instead of other DACs like Zhaolu?

OI! OI!!! i spent over 3 hours choosing, editing and uploading the pix!!!! tired wei!!

was considering the Zhaolu actually but cant get

other than within budget, few reasons i chose foobar...

1/ it was USB.. so easier to connect etc etc.
2/ if i get the zhaolu i have to source for a better transport than my A2ZS. didnt wanna get the USB-SPDIF converter. if i did that might as well i just get the Fubar right? coz still using USB ma.
3/ space constraints. if u look at the pic where i put it. ull see there aint much space for the zhaolu.
4/ its said in head-fi that USB produces the LEAST jitter compared to coaxial or digital SPDIF connections
5/ matches my current battery cute ii amp very VERY nicely

reviews??? me not good at reviews ler...

but so far (16 hours)...im VERY happy with the DAC. soundstage has really improved. started hearing more details. and of course MUCH MUCH cleaner than using the A2ZS. music is just more enjoyable now. cant wait to burn in for over 100 hours. and cant wait to shove in the OP2107 opamp in it

EDIT: forgot to mention that i also use the Fubar for gaming (UT2004) and CPU usage is around 50% only which is normal (P4 630 3.0Ghz + ATI 9550). feels abit weird with the Fubar...need to get used to it. but the A2ZS is DEFINITELY better for gaming.

There's more icute stuff on that rack than when I was there a few months ago...And its not as crowded as you described. A few HeadphoneHaven fellas and sum ang mohs.

BTW, the plugs you just bought are available at RS, RM25 though. But SG$8 for the plug I used is way off lah, since I got it for RM6.

Anything beats A2ZS SCHMUCK on the face..well almost anything It was wise of you not to use the A2ZS SPDIF output, auto resample to 48KHz no matter what you do.

Actually i measured the A2ZS SPDIF output, the thing is abit messy and jittery, although not as bad as the SigmaTel chip on my mobo.

bro...it depend wat time u go? if some raining school day...it is normal...like 4-8 person..
but i might sure that u hvnt seen 10++ person in tat small shop...trust me...u would not have a place to stand man...

Lol yeah. I was there right smack when Johor flooded. It rained non-stop for 2 days. And iinm that time Singapore school holiday.

Another thing is that I got confused at the Adelphi shop listing. Took me a while and walking up and down before I realized Jaben Network is under Hobbies list.

But yeah, Uncle Wilson got a great gig running.

tq for the picture
next time when i go there..must visit jaben

all the pictures you take, u didnt take the front of the shop,. hahaha, who is going to know where jaben is,

anyway it is at the highest floor if not mistaken, some where near norman audio.

well thats the only headfi shop in that entire place so far, but didnt had much time cause i was in a rush last time, and the shop was pack with a lot of interested buyers, but uncle wilson was so nice to talk and entertain me though those young buyers were asking tonnes of questions.

for those who cant control the spending of the wallet, bring as little cash, enough to pay for food and transport and remove all credit cards, can visit the shop cause i almost pakai the credit card to buy a new headphone amp which is the i cute,

hehe, anyway nice place to spend and especially uncle wilson's great hospitality,
