HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
* 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor1.
* 1 GB of system memory.
* Support for DirectX 9 graphics with a WDDM driver, 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)2, Pixel Shader 2.0 and 32 bits per pixel.
* 40 GB of hard drive capacity with 15 GB free space.
* DVD-ROM Drive3.
* Audio output capability.
* Internet access capability.
And you could have all of the above with a PC thats 5+ years old!
Keep on raging against the machine, I'm sure more will join in the fight! Let me know when the picket line has a hotdog stand.

I've found bringing the drivers further down the headband on both sides helps that a bit. So the fit is just slightly looser than any other headphone.
The pair I got fit just like a new pair, and I've been able to use them for hours on end after the adjustments, didn't bother trying the textbook trick.

Thats good, I doubt you'll find the treble roll off like you mentioned in your first post. From what I remember of the Benchmark DAC1 the DA10 is very similar to it, with slightly more emphasis on the bass. The DA10 is pretty much just as bright as the DAC1.

Yeah, I figured that, what movie? I know it's not Billion Dollar Baby.
Old School

Yes but doesn't he die?
Was a damn fine death though.

So are you using an HE90 or reterminated HE60

I was more interested in how regular DVDs looked upsampled
But yeah properly transfered HD content will blow away most DVDs. I have a ridiculous transfer of the extended The Two Towers in 1080p that is jaw dropping.
-
I wish I had an SR-Omega... or not. not that into expensive unservicable headphones.
don't have any STAX headphones at the moment actually.So the HE90 jack would have made it more obvious?
-
yup, a nice OEM stax jack... but what's it connected to?
SR-Omega?
Oh the amp
Aristaeus?

I decided that I am only going to rent (Netflix stocks HD-DVDs)
so if this format looses in the long run, I will not have invested in a personal library, just the cost of the player.
In the mean time there are over 150 titles out, so the pickin's are improving.
Thats cool that Netflix is adding HD-DVD titles without charging more for subscriptions.

ooo stax

If anyone has this DVDP (and a capable camera) can post shots of the same DVD at 480p vs 720p (or 1080i) I'd love to see the differences.

Rega Apollo

The 4070 has a fail safe shut off after a certain volume level, so I have no idea what happened.
-
Not sure if any dismantling was even involved. I think he turned them up too loud then found a hole burnt in the diaphram.

Singlepower Extreme?

I bought a usb keylogger and had the admin run a couple things. Then viola! Admin password. Suckers.....
lol. This is why I don't use public computers

Plus how can you forget the CoverFlow feature and album cover retriever built in? iTunes is great if you can live without having the hardcore audiophile quirks such as FLAC and support for OGG. Other than that it really is the best one out there.
Hardcore audiophile bullshit? Yeah when I've spent thousands on gear, I'll take a player that can at least bypass Windows kmixer
-
I'm sure iTunes is great on the Mac. But with a 8000+ track library with iTunes7 on PC you can count the seconds it takes to load; usually around 15-20 seconds (And no native support for FLAC, but it can now be added in with a plugin). This is on a really modern computer; Athlon 64, 2 GB ram, yada yada
-
The SB interface can be cumbersome if you have a large media library. I loved using it for internet radio stations though.
I might have one of the most convoluted setups ever though (since I can't stand iTunes)
-
The Squeezebox DAC is also pretty damn good for $250/300 wired/wireless (with an alright interface once you get used to it/set up SlimServer)
-
Sent you PM about the XCan
-
What's there to understand? Pink Floyd got slapped with a MOT tag. He's been modding the X Cans for a while now (for more than just parts cost), so now he's a MOT. Of course there still are are a lot of people who have gone under the radar or are ignored like Benny Boy (although from reading PF's forum he's gone for good), TURBO, Ori, etc....
For what its worth I'm pretty sure BennyBoy is doing the mods for just cost (which also might have pissed off PinkFloyd as he had something in his sig about not having any affiliation with BennyBoy mods). I asked BennyBoy about modding a Xcanv2, and he turned me down but said he would do a v3 for just the cost of parts/russian tubes. He has also offered to repair equipment for members for just the cost of shipping.
don't have any STAX headphones at the moment actually

And I just installed/ran Vista on an equally old PC. My spare computer is an Athlon XP 1600+ with 1 GB of memory and a ATi 9700pro, and it ran perfectly. I haven't added anything to that PC in 3 years.
So unless you're stuck in the past Vista's requirements are very reasonable. The latest Unreal 3 engine games require at least a Geforce6 series card...and people are bitching about that
