Works fine from the HDD so just save it temporarily to the hard drive

Post the last thing you bought!
We will have to find some appropriate form of punishment...

Sony DAS-R1
...or he has a clone? That would explain a lot of things...

Sony DAS-R1
Nobody takes the internet as seriously as we do and definitely not "old" Europe. I think the the phone companies are fast approaching 99% 3G coverage of the island and some 15-20km out to sea, like we need to check the email on top of a glacier or out on sea . Alex has been posting on the APL forum though so he might be doing it telepathically...

Sony DAS-R1
That sucks big time. I still haven't heard back from him since my issues in April and most likely never will...

The Headcase Stax thread
The forks (which hold the earpieces to on the arc) break a lot on the Lambdas and so to the arcs so just don't sit on them. The drivers are pretty robust and dust is not much of an issue but some form of a dust cover is a good idea.

Thanks for the list not that I need any more sources or headphones after my most recent shopping spree...

Denon AH-D2000--big disappointment.
Massive line sources tend to make believers out of just about anybody...

The Headcase Stax thread
Great impressions but plug those ports and the bass is even better and the midrange is the best you can get with no "shout" on the vocals... There is no other headphone I would rather use for rock though some of the classic 60's stuff sounds sublime on the SR-3/SRA-3S combo.

slow forum
Quoting the above video... "Holy shit!!!"

Did the original Naim CDS use S1 chips?

Denon AH-D2000--big disappointment.
That's very cool! I know that there is a set in my future once I can find a place that's big enough with the ceiling height to match.

If they are anything short of a triple stacked Quad ESL or Sound Lab Majestic's then no...

Sony DAS-R1
Ouch!!! That's a lot for some chips. Btw. Have you heard anything from Alex about your player?

If anybody wants a DAC with S2 chips look no further...

Stax SR-007Mk2/SR-007A port mod
I think that the D5000 mod only sounds like the R10 in markl's own idiotic mind. The fact that he thinks Rudi's amps are good speaks volumes... You can force them to squeal like every other ESP but it's not normal. The fart is a pretty silly name for it...

The Marantz CD-7 is on my hitlist... I think I'll stick with my inferior chips for now...

Stax SR-007Mk2/SR-007A port mod
Get a new amp and report back... ...

The Headcase Stax thread
You might be over damping the driver or putting too much pressure on the top of it and thus more tension on the diaphragm.

Dac rolling is the new frontier...

Sony DAS-R1
Rikens rule but I wish that there were two crowns on those chips... Thanks, these old, cheap Canon's are pretty good and this one is heavy enough to be stable in my hands. I'm way too lazy to use a tripod...

DACs Gone Wild Vol 3 (inside the North Star M192 MK1)
Crap!!! Will do when I can stop listening to the damn thing...
-
DACs Gone Wild Vol 3 (inside the North Star M192 MK1)
Add the AudioZone to the mix and I have two very pretty DAC's...
-
Sony DAS-R1
It's not in the same league... not even close. It lacks the organic flow and amazing detail retrieval of the APL unit and same goes for bass and treble extension. Considering the price difference I don't mind and a better comparison would be between the DAS-R1 and the AudioZone NOS DAC I have in my computer rig. I don't have a good transport so that comparison will have to wait for a better time.
