Just be careful to pull straight out with the wire strippers. I believe 22-24awg should work fine. Snipping a few strands shouldn't matter. You will need a lighter to melt the enamel from the wire so it's suitable for soldering. The green wire is typically the ground or negative channel in this case. Pinout below: 1 - left channel + 2 - left channel - 3 - right channel + 4 - right channel -

I'll find out in a few days?

Dan wins. This is a headphone.

Let's see how you all do. Post your guesses below.

Looks like a cheap fun way to mess around with DSD. http://www.ifi-audio.com/en/Nano_iDSD.html

Surprised Mikhail didn't just ship his amps like that. Here is your point to point ball of wires and caps

^ What are you looking to get for each?

The Bifrost with uber analogue is as good as any $500ish DAC I've heard.

Hello Cavalli

Most state that they clean better with some gunk on, that's not the same as dried on gunk.

^ that Treat it like you would a front load washer.

^ because I know where everyone lives My parents got theirs based on consumer reports.

My point was to make sure there's a good support in the area. Kind of like having a foreign car in the deep South. That being said, I have had zero issues with mine, while my parents have had two issues with theirs.

Just make sure you have a local service tech. Parts are also expensive. My parents have had to deal with those frustrations a few times. I have a Miele and really like it. It is been going strong for 3+ years now.

I've used Evernote for work for the past year and have been happy with it. Convenient having everything sync among my devices.

I've used VTI racks for years and have always been happy with them. The cost is right too.

M500 or Samsung EVO should be more than adequate. The jump to 8GB is a very good idea too, especially if you are running Win 7 or later. I personally run a 128GB Sammy 840 Pro SSD in my laptop along with 8GB of RAM.

Thank you winter. 45F earlier in the week, now snow yesterday and this, this morning.

Just as an FYI... there is significant clipping/static/popping when using USB audio devices on the new iMac with Fusion drives. Some have had success in eliminating the issue by breaking up the drive group, however this then defeats the purpose of buying the drive. I recommend avoiding the iMac if you intend on using USB DACs until this issue is resolved.

That's two too many gingers in one room for my liking

Your ISP is telling you you are spending too much time on here. Time to get outside

^ where do you acquire samples from?

Head-Case discovered me. And KSA5
