They mentioned that they were working on a DAC when I talked to them during the last Bay Area meet. These guys have a lot of experience making nice DACs, so I'm sure they know what they are doing. The only thing I'm not sure about is the following in the FAQ section: This is surprising coming from people selling a new Async USB DAC. I would like to know why they think their Async USB (and Streamlength, etc) is still inferior to SPDIF.

I'd try that, but I think I threw it away.

They are kind of like earspeakers, except they don't sound as good.

The Nvidia GPU on my sister's Inspiron 9400 died a while ago. Since the computer was out of warranty, I just bought a compatible ATi GPU on eBay and replaced it myself. Didn't know about the settlement until I saw this.

Thank you everyone. I've also been kind of busy lately. I didn't even realize that it was my birthday until I saw this thread.

Happy Birthday Edwood!

I have DSL, and the upload speed sucks (maybe ~40KB/sec for torrent uploads). When I do a large torrent download, I have to upload for days to keep my upload/download ratio high.... Unfortunately, I have 2 pairs of new SR-007 earpads, and 0 pairs of SR-007 Mk2 earpads.

Thanks a lot for the pics. 65Mbps is fast. I wonder if the SR-5 gold earcups pivot far enough to be used with the SR-007 earpads, but it won't hurt to try it if I decide to put new pads on my SR-007.

Is it easy to install the SR-007 earpads on the SR-1 ~ SR-5 chassis? Maybe I can put new pads on my SR-007 and use the old SR-007 pads with my SR-5 gold. It'll probably look very ugly, but at least the comfort should be improved.

Happy Birthday!

I just checked the feature list again, and right under "24-bit 192kHz Asynchronous USB input" is this: "Proprietary drivers for 32/64 bit Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Mac OS 10.4, 10.5 ,10.6"

If it's a reclocking scheme, and the USB connection is not pull-based, then "24-bit 192kHz Asynchronous USB input" is misleading in my opinion.

Are you talking about the Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2? The feature list of the DAC-2 says: "24-bit 192kHz Asynchronous USB input" I'm not sure I understand what you are describing, but it doesn't sound like asynchronous USB. It sounds like a reclocking scheme.

The description says: "It will drive the most difficult (low impedance and reactive) loads without strain or damage, which is why it is ideal for driving electrostatic loudspeakers." The power rating (360 watts RMS into 8 Ohms and 600 watts RMS into 4 Ohms) also suggests that it is voltage-limited at 8 Ohms. Isn't that (~54 volts RMS) too little voltage headroom for Stax headphones?

Happy birthday!
