Usually when switching between limited and full I have to adjust brightness to get black as black as possible. For example, I can put brightness higher on full before it starts washing out blacks. The same brightness setting on limited will make everything very washed out, and so I have to lower...

Are the speakers hooked up using the DAC's RCA out? Also saw on the page that a power supply is required. Do you have one for the DAC?

I had a single drive shipped to me in a bubble envelope... but the drive was already in a box with a plastic cage, and the cage was slightly out of shape when it arrived. This drive was shipped from Pennsylvania.

Can your TV output or passthrough 5.1? I was under the impression that HDTVs can only output 2.0 out of optical. If you go with a DAC (optical to analog), you still need a method to control the volume, such as a headphone amp with a volume control. You'll blast your ears otherwise. If...

How is everyone's high fly writes? So far I filled the drive twice and there are 34 (0x22) counts of high fly writes.

It is around 4.25". Edit: Oh, my case is an R3...

Could you list the bitrates of your files? Compare a CD to FLAC (or CD to WAV to FLAC) file with your WMA-L to FLAC file if there are any size/bitrate differences. Both the FLAC files should have a similar bitrate. Use foobar to compare the bitrate, not your portable players.

I played around with the new retina MBPs and I wasn't observing 1:1 pixel mapping at default 1440 x 900 and the other four you can set, short of trying an external program to set the resolution manually. I used this as the test. I'm reading that boot camp isn't much better, quoting "a blurry...

Same experience here. I have RMA'd my 500W PSU a while back and have noticed that all the crickets (from mouse scrolling) have disappeared with the replacement as well.

Screenshot clarification: If you're suggesting that no sound ever comes out of your laptop while it's on AC power, then I don't know, it might be an internal hardware issue.

If you go into Sound or "Playback devices" and click on "Communications" tab, is "Do nothing" selected?

If you haven't tried setting the primary timings manually, I would do that (9-9-9-24-2T), and put the RAM voltage to slightly above 1.5V. Also, what slots did you install your RAM into?

Just be aware of potentially damaging the polarizer/screen when cleaning with water... like what happened to this poor guy: http://www.overclock.net/t/1230911/removing-the-anti-glare-coating-on-u2711/

Usually I was able to toggle between uncalibrated and calibrated by clicking the checkbox on "Use my settings for this device," but ever since I reinstalled Windows it doesn't toggle and stays calibrated. If I reactivate ATI's color control then it's able to return to uncalibrated, and if I go...

This issue reminded me of my bad experience with a laptop and Nvidia 8400GS. Powermizer would freeze up the system like your problem every time the core clock changes. Intel wireless cards (5x00 was the most recent I tested) are also not free from the problem, though the latency isn't that...
