Looking for a reasonable good but simple digital to analog converter to
connect my hifi to my computer.

My criteria are the following:

 

One usb port

The sound quality must be good.

 

Nothing fancy just that.

 

Can anyone help?

I'm not sure exactly in U.S dollars, you'll have to look it up, here in 
Australia around $400 so I'm guessing half that in U.s

sound like?

Hi Andre.  I use the Arcam R-Dac.  Very simple and high quality although not
overly expensive.  Has USB connection, Phono connections and also a
headphone jack with independent headphone volume controls.  It makes a huge
difference to the sound from my PC.  Walter.

Audio Controls in Windows 7 64-bit

2015-04-17 Thread Gary Petraccaro
I don't always listen to music on the computer.  But I recently changed to 
Windows 7 64-bit and decided to listen to something.  All of a sudden, my 
speakers sound dull.  Is there a way to control trebble in 7 or in Winamp.  I'd 
try to use WMP for comparison purposes, but it seems to not want me to just 
play a song without going through what seems like a timewasting settings hassle.
Thanks in advance.

   Hi,  get a usb mike that has an earphone output.
That's what I'm using for all music on my computer.

If you need r c a outs use a splitter.
just turn the mic switch off.

That's The Risk I'm Prepared To Take

2015-04-17 Thread Dane Trethowan

Hi!

I've been up on eBay browsing around.

I did a search on DLNA and found a Set Top Box from China which runs 
Android 4.4, the box was $70 so I bought one, perhaps - if I'm lucky - I 
might be able to get Talkback running?


The box runs the XBMC Media Center App by default, I'm not familiar with 
the Android version of this but I do have a good grounding in how XBMC 
works on other platforms such as IOS and with my setup on the Raspberry 
Pi, perhaps I'l lbe able to put this knowledge to good use, we'll see.

Re: Bang Olufsen Beoplay A2

2015-04-17 Thread Dane Trethowan
Yes, I've heard of this speaker and it is also very good but didn't get 
as much acclaim as the BW speaker I mentioned earlier because the 
manufacturers have decided to concentrate on making the product a 
fassion statement rather than a statement of quality.


Also with this particular speaker the battery is an optional accessary 
whereas with the T7 its all part and parcel of the package as it should 
be for a portable speaker - in my opinion. -
