    Audio Grade Silver Solder

    Worth the premium? I only need a little.  Saw RS has some generic silver solder on stick in small quantity, but how does this compare to the likes of Mundorf, Cardas or WBT so highly praised?

    Questions regarding & relating to PC as source.

    Right, I think I'm sorted.  Just bought the V-Link from "waterhond", so will see from here. I don't know hey, every fiber in my being rejects the notion of a PC sound card as source.  There is however one that caught my eye - The Audiotrak Prodigy HD2 Special Edition with Burson Audio Discreet...

    I?m starting this thread to hopefully answer questions I and\or others may have on this topic. Right, firstly, why is ?PC-as-source? under the ?Headphone? sub forum?  O.K. seriously, first question: 1. When using a computer as source, what is the best option with regard to connection to DAC...

    DAC Advise

    It's not available locally, wantitall buys from amazon just like have2have and take2 etc.   The item ships to their warehouse in the US, from where they then ship it to SA and deliver to you.  They basically provide a forwarding service whereby they handle everything for you so you can have...

    Help Please: Best Mediaplayer Download

    Another vote for foobar and just to ad to the list of useful plug-ins, the "Scheduler" plug-in is by far the best I've seen on any player. One thing, I notice you guys only ever mentioning ASIO.  I personally use WASAPI.

    Interesting article regarding plugs & electricity... SABS etc...

    Anyone using http://www.wattronics.co.za multi-plugs or any of their other products? No affiliation, just wondering about quality.  Looks way better than the Crabtree stuff on paper.

    Op-amps?

    ...and there-in lies my dilemma.  Everyone I've spoken to say it's not worthwhile for just one and I totally understand that, but I really didn't think it'd be this difficult to source one.

    Op-amps?

    Saw you did some magic on Chris' DacMagic. If I don't come right, I'll give you a shout.  I'm really keen on the OPA104 now, as it would make rolling so much easier and convenient.

    Op-amps?

    I believe the one I'm looking for is the OPA104 Adapter.

    Op-amps?

    Two single channel OPA627AP Op-Amps in a dual channel socket for starters. I know my way around a soldering iron, but the hands are a little shaky these days, so would prefer as little solder work as possible.

    Op-amps?

    Thanks, did a quick search.  Could not find the brown dog adapter though.

    Op-amps?
