3 days power reserve....
A big convenience
Most importantly I dun even need to change discs at all haha... If u have an iphone or itouch u can even control itunes remotely... Such a boon for lazy people
Maybe I should look for a used imac just to be the transport or music server..
Btw what's the going rate for used itouch??
a costly difference....

burson clock...
new connection
i spent the 1st hour listening to CDs n then switched to my laptop as the source by using the hagusb device as the go-between the dac n digital source..
to be honest i didnt expect much as most users know that a computer is a very noisy device..... however the very track i played from itunes gave me quite a shock cos it sounded very good.... and from then on i extended the session to almost another 2 hours.....
it does seem like there is indeed much potential in this area of tapping on the computer to play music.....
of cos the key is how to do it..... one can either buy a dac with an usb input or simply buy an usb to s/pdif converter...... no matter what you choose, it's still a quick way to enjoy music from your computer....
if you are serious about this, you should get a laptop with solid state memory which has no moving parts....... that will be quite a potent music source for your audio system....
good day
upgraded dac through its paces....
i think after the 24 hr burn in, tonight will be a fun night...
but right now i need a nap

ISSE 09
like what i said last year, go only if u have time n 15 bucks in your pocket.. compared to 08, 1 entire floor of participating dealers went missing..
the only consolation? there r more rooms that r making good sound.. maybe they have learnt not to play too loud.. cos they are not selling PA systems
will you be there..???

back to the past 2....
while i thought it wasnt worthwhile to join in, the thread made me travel back in time and recollect my experience with some of the memorable mini-monitors .....
some just dun get it
they think we owe them a living, owe them an explanation and what we do must be palatable to their liking
dream on
