I received my QX2710 from lovelypeople on ebay on Wednesday. Doing a pixel test, I found no dead/stuck pixels. The box actually had a round sticker that says "zero dead pixel." I did notice some backlight bleed, but it was only noticeable when I was really trying to find it (all black screen...

I guess it's normal for these. Here's the response I received: Not a huge deal, it would have been nice to know beforehand though. The setup is working great btw. S.M.S.L. SA-S3 to Polk R15 speakers and a C.M.O.Y. headphone amp when other people have to sleep. :p

Everything ha arrived and I got to try it out today. Works great! The only strange thing is, when using the phonopreamps.com TCC TC-716, I can very faintly hear sound coming from devices that don't have their switch on. Not a huge deal, but I thought it was supposed to completely isolate.

Hmm, looks cool. Does that have to be plugged into a computer to work?

I decided to go with the SMSL SA-S3 and use my mint can headphone amp. That switch is pretty cool. Fully configurable input and output seems really useful, going to have to grab one.

Ok, so I just found the SMSL SAD-25. It's similar to the SA-S21, having headphones, but it also has a built in Burr-Brown PCM2704 DAC and TI NE5532 Op Amp. I think the headphones audio should be pretty good on this one. Edit: Nevermind, it looks like this amp uses an unnamed amplifier for the...

Thanks for all of the replies, the info is much appreciated. atarione, good call on grabbing cheap used amps, unfortunately I don't live alone and space is a bit of an issue as is heat and power. I'd prefer to keep it smaller scale. :) Also, the power switch on the back of the Topping is...

I'm setting up a classic console area in my apartment that includes a Sony PVM monitor. This means i need to get separate audio going (no speakers on the monitor). I've decided to go with a T-amp and inexpensive speakers (I love me some chiptunes). I also need to be able to use headphones at...

I guess basically what I'm asking is if the 4890 would just end up acting like another 4870 while crossfired to a 4870, thus making it overpriced in that kind of setup.

Would it be worth crossfiring a 4890 1gb with a 4870 1gb or would the 4890 just clock down to 4870 speeds? I've been trying to find information about this, but have been unsuccessful.
