How about a used North Star m192 mk2?

I wish my UE's used a softer material. A lot.

belated. birthday. happy.

Wow, those are useful. I think you're right, until a tag & rename is created for mac, I'll use these. Everything else is too clunky for my id tag challenged brain.

Bumping this to see if anyone has had any luck.

yup.

Investment in HiFi gears is the safest place to park one's $$ these days.

A pair of shoes that turned out to be too fucking big.

So, I'm curious about what the m192 mkII is doing with regard to upsampling, so I wrote to them asking what happens now that the mkII no longer has the upsampling button of its predecessor. Here's their (very prompt) response: "the new M192MK2 have a fixed upsampling at 192kHz/24bit. This allows a more straight digital signal path and we can optimize the analog section only for this sampling frequency. This design is like our flagship DAC, Extremo" What does that mean?

So far, so good. Nice soundstage. Listening time has been limited however because I've got some buzzing issues. I think it's probably my unshielded XLR's. Will try RCAs tomorrow and post impressions elsewhere. The North Star is a nice looking unit.

Yup, we're in business!

North Star m192.

Thanks Nate!

PM sent!

Nate, I listened to the Klipsch Image IEMs at CJ08 and I thought they were pretty good. Universals, but they were pretty damn small.

Sorry deepak, help me out. Does that mean the MK1 is better/worse/different? I'm wondering because it looks like there are some deals out there on the MK1, but I'm not interested if it pales significantly compared to the Mk2.

oh, and shoes.

Hmmm...birthday present for me = trip to Tampa?

Yeah, I saw it. Just didn't pull the trigger. Stupid mortgage payments and such. Is there much of a difference between the North Star mk1 and mk2?

Yes I blew that one.

I need a new source.
