Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
I solved the problem by going to QuickTime player, and change the output to 16/44.1. Under Windows OS, iTunes is just a file manager for QuickTime, which actually plays the music. Now my DP-777 (USB) now recognizes 16/44.1 and decodes accordingly ... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
I also tried DAC direct, and still prefer a high-end analog preamp, which adds density, weight and scale. I admit the volume control inside the DP-777 is very good, and some Asian audio forum says it's as good as US$3000 preamps, but not beyond. A... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Strange -- When I play 16/44.1 redbook CD ripped into apple lossless format in iTunes (Windows XP), the USB-connected DP-777 automatically goes to "96/96 organic". This happens even if I put a redbook CD in the CD-Rom and play it directly through ...

If I continue to write your story above, that lady friend would later on become your wife. LOL.Well, I plugged my preamp in a PS Audio P300 all the time, and now the P300 has stopped working -- no lightening strike, no insufficient ventilization, ...

Audiofun, after fully break-in your AMR, do you leave it on all the time? If you turn it off, how much warm-up time do you need to reach the optimum performance? I have a big class A amp that takes 1~2 hours of music play to sound its best, and ca...

Audiofun, Have you tried Off-Ramp4 USB/SPDIF converter? Or have you compared your stand-alone USB/SPDIF converters to the USB port on the DP-777? The X-mos 2.0 USB chipset inside the DP-777 is very similar, if not identical to the one inside April... 
Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions?
Kijanki, I agree the volume pot is not really high-end, adding a preamp that can take 10 volt fixed output helps. After owning various versions of Benchmark DAC-1 for 9 years, I have moved on, including MF Trivista Dodson 218 Cary 306/200 and Audi... 
Benchmark DAC-1 Get The Most Out Of Your DAC-1
Believe or not digital cables do make a difference, and sometimes bigger differences than the transports. You don't have to spend a lot, but organic-sounding digital cables work better with DAC-1. Benchmark's own AES/EBU is cheap and good, and bet...

Benchmark DAC-1 Get The Most Out Of Your DAC-1
Theduke, yes the headphone gain jumpers are the jumpers close to the headphone jacks. I agree their user manual does not change as fast as their revisions... but you can try the jumpers on the fly... won't hurt anything just don't drop your finger...

Replacements for Dynaudio Floorstanders
I have a pair of Castle Acoustics Howard S3 and very happy with it. Full range, warm British sound, small footprint, great mid-range, never harsh.Now using Marantz SC11s1 preamp and Audia Flight 50 Class A power amp and Benchmark DAC1 USB, the bri... 
Benchmark DAC-1 Get The Most Out Of Your DAC-1
Thanks to everybody's input to my thread, Regarding vibration control, having spikes underneath might help but I can live with the stock rubber feet. Adding weight on top makes the sound dull and less alive. Unless you have a bright system, the DA... 
Castle speakers IAG
I have the latest Howard S3 and they are simply the best speaker in their price range. They (by a large margin) bettered Tyler, Dynaudio and Usher speakers, some costing twice as much. Moving to IAG doesn't seem to affect the quality, mine has the...
