Hi Guys. I just grabbed an AUNE mini USB DAC off the forums and the TF10's sound amazing off them. Two questions that i have though: 1. I have a media centre remote control for my PC and the volume control now does nothing since the Aune always has the volume at max. Is there a way i can change this so that i still can control the volume going to the Aune or is there a program that will allow me to do this? 2. I have the Aune aswell as all my other computer gear (PC, monitors, amp, lamp etc) all plugged into a Surge Protector. When i turn my lamp on/off the dac just stops. It doesnt turn off but it stops playing music, if i skip a song it will start going again.. Any ideas here? (It has been upgraded to a 15V 2A power supply) My configuration is as follows: FLAC > Aune Mini USB > Denon DRA375RD > Wharfedale Diamond 9.5 FLAC > Aune Mini USB > Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 Thanks for your help, Luke

When traveling I've used an Acer 10" netbook with Samsung ssd which is okay for basic tasks but can test patience occasionally so am thinking of upgrading. I'll be using it for bicycle touring as well as at home. Will be mostly used for surfing and google maps as well as foobar and VLC. Not after blistering performance or high gadget factor but don't want something that's going to be a chore to use. Function over form is the aim so key criteria if possible are good battery life, low weight and not too thick or large as will be packed into a pannier. I haven't got a specific budget yet but for starters around $500 or less if possible. It will possibly also be my main pc when not traveling. Any suggestions are welcome thanks.

Hi, I've seen this device for sale on EBay and I wanted to ask the community about it. It is a power filter, supposedly.

Hello. I wondered if anyone is using their PC as a music streamer, but finds the noise of their computer to be too intrusive? I was doing this for a while experimentally, and then part by part took away all the noisy components of the PC, and replaced them till I had a silent one. It takes a little time and know how, but well worth it to get rid of all that background noise. Sound quality wise I think CD players still have the edge, but for those who are streaming and want the convenience of everything coming from their computer without the background noise let me know. I am happy to do this as part of my hobby, since I believe it is not putting anyone out of business. I am happy to help for the cost of the parts, which are reasonably cheap (compared with hi-fi). I am not a computer engineer as such, but I am a sound engineer, and have approx 10 years experience with computer audio. Send a PM or leave a message. Cheers, Richard

I've not seen a thread dedicated to gaming, so here's one for us gamers, we the few who lead the cutting edge in PC technology or consoles. Gaming, it's great fun, strategy, turn based or real time strategy. Puzzles - meh, simulators - not my cup of tea, and for a long time first person shooters made me motion sick, till I spent all weekend going through Modern Warfare 2 and Crysis 3 on my new gaming rig. I'm reminded of the SNA'er who mentioned he is the guy off mission in a game because he's testing the games soundstage by exploding grenades. And then late, well early morning actually, one Saturday I kindly took up thy headphones for Cysis3 and was utterly blown away by the immersive experience, in an eye blink nearly making my $30 yogi headphones the new pinnacle of my gaming experience - if only I'd not previously gamed through the vaf i66's attached to my hk990. Yes, that's right $30 headphones just about surpassing $10k worth of gear... if only I'd known I might have created a budget for headphones. Your gaming experiences, technology, hardware n software & games, talk about them here. When the cars seemed like they were dropping out of the sky after an orbital thermonuclear emp in MW2 I was running round like any Gods fearing man might when faced with a potential apocalypse, and died many a horrific death completing the level. Or battling some 9 year old Korean lad at Starcraft2 - and losing of course cause his apm (actions per minute) is 236 apm, and mine at best is 60 apm. I've played every civilisation game in existence, 1 through V with all expansions, yes gaming likely dropped my gpa by several points - but enhanced my problem solving beyond the 98th percentile (as measured by the student tertiary admissions test stat), can one get a job for being brilliant at games... Apparently not bloody likely, not even as a tester. Doom, the great game that became a, cough cough, average movie. Assassins creed spawned books. Halo, a whole heap of plastic junk, and books too.
