how is E-MU0404 compared with E-MU1212M? if just for listening to music through unbalanced out put? does 1212m worth the S$180 more than 0404? and how does the Digital Audio Labs CardDeluxe in classifieds for S$250 compaired with the 2 above? which one should i pick?

hi renderfarms, how much is the EAR HP4? new or used? how many sets do you have, if i organize a group buy, what will be the price.

take a picture of yourself, so i can recognise you when going to your shop

the cans work pretty good Mod Edit: Please PM your comments to Mackie directly.

orpheus only S$17000?

i just like to listen to music when i am surfing the web and chatting with my friends... is the reason enough? and, if you have a pure hifi system, when you are listen to it, you cannot do any thing else, because you must it in the best position to hear the sound stage. is it a wast of time? why not to do your computing job while listento musc?

SLS, 1st floor, there's a big big black active subwoofer, forgot the brand, price is 199,seems good, never tried ha ~ BTW, where did u buy your M200? how mucn was it? i used to use tne M200 when i was in China, the best way to mod the M200 is to change the transformer, change to a 100W+ circlr shape transformer, you will here a big difference. the stock transformer is really lousy... in the second stage of modding, you can take out the OPAMP on the AMP pcb and change the AMP IC to a better one and connect the line-in directly to the AMP IC chip to skip the Pre-AMP because it is useless...

don't have it, naver listen to it too... it has no digital input

i have no idea of the cost too... anyhow, the postage will be a big part of the cost. i previously ordered a DIYed headphone amp, the cost of the amp was only S$200, the postage was S$100

exactly

hah... feel good when other people say china good actually, china produces a lot of Hi-Fi products that has very high performnce/price rate. but these products are all low level ones, not like those european companies, prodces top class Hi-Fi products. china is lack of technology...

the link of the review is here, hope some body understand chinese can help me to translate the artical because my english level is really not enough and here got the photo galleries of this sound card

hah, my english is not good enough to decently translate the articals for you... but i will try my best... for the 2nd generation tube usb sound card, the web site just published those pictures, the specifications and review will be published later because the tube need to burn-in for a few weeks. the 1st gereration tube usb sound card is just the one in my last post with pictures. the chip of the 1st gereration tube usb sound card is the Burr-Brown PCM2702 which is a “16-Bit Stereo DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER with USB Interfaceâ€. the spec-sheet of this chip is like: the chip support 16 bit/32，44.1，48 kHz sampling rate. this chip is just a usb interface DAC, has no 3D hardware acceleration and cannot record, which means the usb sound card can be used for listening music only, cannot use Line-in to record or even use MIC to chat with your friend through the internet. but as long as it's sound is good, who cares about the function? the sound card is very big, cannot use for portable purpose, because it has 2 big and hot tubes. DIYEN is the first organisation (we call it organisation is because it is not a registered company but just formed buy a few Hi-Fi DIYers and professors) designed tube soundcards in china. they believe tubes can produce warm sound unlike other sound cards that has very cold and digital sound. the 1st gereration tube usb sound card uses 2 6N11J tubes, J means from the army company (in china, there are alot of company are formed by the army, because previously china has planned economy and the army performs some production of those vital components for the country. in the 1950~1980s, army company represents high quality and reliability, but now...@##$#$%@ but anyway, the 6N11J tubes are still good tubes produced in china now) which is used a lot by Hi-Fi companies and DIYers in china. the rice of these tubes in the market is about 25RMB(1rmb=0.2sgd). the tube has soft but tight sound. the 6N11J tubes are compatible with more than 10 models of tubes in the market, so that you can change the tubes by your self to mod the sound card. when we use the tube sound card, the tubes are not very hot when tey are working, you can even touch them without be injured. but the sound card is a little bit naughty because when you are using it you cannot plugin or unplug other USB devices, other wise it will keep silence. in this case, unplug the sound card and plugin again may work, or you can restard you system. this is what all DIYed usb sound cards need to improve--the driver. apart from this problem, we had a happy listening with the sound card. it shows some differences when it is firstly started, the sound is quite relax, smooth... it reminds us of the famous Creative AWE64 Gold, they have similar style. the rest of this review is relatively complex, i will have to work harder to translate it hah~~ i will post it maybe tomorrow. enjoy this part first, hope u can understand my english...

if u can read Chinese u can go to here for detail and reviews, if you cannot read chinese.... i dont know how to help u....

all these are with integrated AMP, can drive Hi-Fi headphones directly

and another one CHIP

another one... VERY CUTE THE CHIP VERY CUTE

some pics ... Note: These are USB SOUND CARDS

there are no cheap USB sound cards... u can only go for creative or M-audio which are more than S$100... in Hi-Fi forums in China， there are DIY USB sound card sold, not expensive, but the sound are said pretty good, if you are interested, you can order from them...

in SLS, 4th floor, a second-hand store sells TURTLE BEACH sound card, using Aureal 8820B2 Chip, the same as the famous Dimond S90. the price is only S$10, very cheap, but the sound is better than Creative SBlive in music listening...

anywhere

how is its soundstage? Mod edit: Please PM seller directly for queries & discussions.

theoretically and technically, tube amps do deliver less details than those IC based amps, but the details an above-average quality tube amp can deliver are far more than your ear can receive, so those extra details that an IC based amp delivered can be seen as useless... sorry, my poor english hah~ hope u can understand

actually, alot of companies in china produces very good and cheap multimeadia speakers, but cannot be found in singapore... maybe i can start a shop sell speakers from china in singapore...
