    New DAC from NAD D 1050 vs ZxR or other DAC(s)

    you also said I will talk now about the music output - with games the situation will be different. May I ask if this is based on an assumption/personal experience/comparison of the technical data/measurements? As far as I can see there is not much data available yet for the NAD.. At the...

    New DAC from NAD D 1050 vs ZxR or other DAC(s)

    Sorry to gatecrash the topic - but have the same question as the OP. In my case I'm torn between the new Arcam Irdac and this NAD. So far I was leaning towards the NAD purely because of the headphone amp - to drive my Senns HD600. Why do you think NAD wouldn't be able to drive them? I read...

    Guys, I have a question - which color preset are you using for an xbox over vga? Standard seems to be too washed-out so I'm using the movie mode, but I can't help a feeling it's a bit too bright and oversaturated. One more thing - is you display also running so hot? Not that it's a problem as...

    My display was made in April 2007, I'm not sure which firmware I need. How do see I don't have the aspect ratio update? In the menu I can choose between Full, Aspect and 1:1 options...

    Many thanks, Branana, Daniel, I'll let you know the results once I have my display back form Benq. Actually, just now I had a look at my housemate's LG-245WP.. xbox over component supports only 1080i, jaggies are also there and it stretches the picture to a full screen, no way to get aspect or...

    I rung 02072160039. Surprisingly girl on the phone was well aware and well informed about the problem. She told me straightaway there were 2 firmware updates - one for 1:1 pixel mapping and 2nd for the overscan fix, and that they update everything to the latest one.

    And how about the picture quality from xbox over VGA on 1920*1080? Does it have jagged lines? I've tried component input yesterday and I was horrified to see how bad jagged lines really are on 1080p in some games. I tried Half Life 2 and it was bad...

    Benq are picking up the display on a Monday for a firmware update, with a free shipping both ways. I rung them up this morning, everything was arranged within an hour or so. They even wanted to pick it up tomorrow… I just hope this update will fix the problem – as I wrote earlier I’m getting...

    So I guess it is worth asking: Guys, has anyone had the firmware update done in the uk? If so, what's the experience and mainly - is the xbox over VGA working correctly on 1920*1080 (with black bars top/bottom) after the update?

    I have asked veteran Branana who has his xbox working over VGA on 1920*1080 correctly with black bars top/bottom. He says the September firmware fix addresses also my issue. I seem to have an option in the menu for 1:1/Full/Aspect scaling, but it doesn't work correctly. If I choose 1:1 for...

    I'm afraid it is April 2007:( DVI seems to be working fine, but I'm having problem with my xbox 360 over VGA - no chance to get 1920/1080 working properly, it is stretched to a full screen either on 'aspect' and 'full' option. On '1:1' there are black bars around a picture. I'm disappointed:( Do...

    Accelero S1 + 8800GT

    That's a very good deal if you buy it on its own. I was just buying the Accelero S1 and some Zalman heatsinks and I spotted it for some £2.50 so it went straight to the basket:) Then when I worked with it I realized how well spent £2.50 it was:) That's exactly what the pre-apllied one should...

    Accelero S1 + 8800GT

    Akasa thermal adhesive tape, AK-TT12-80, would sort you out. Holds like hell and is removable in case you need it. And it costs peanuts... I used it on all heatsinks.

    Accelero S1 + 8800GT

    No, it cannot. It can only be installed one way. Together with a 120mm fan it takes 3 slots. Regarding the pre-applied thermal adhesive - I didn't even try to work with it. I've cleaned the ramsinks with an adhesive remover and used akasa thermal adhesive - it's very easy to work with, holds...

    BFG 8800GT OC - or maybe other brand?

    Hi, I have BFG 8800GT OC 512... On a stock cooler I was able to go 700core/1950memory without problems, but heat was the issue so I wasn't keen on pushing it any further. This weekend I installed Accelero S1 + some Zalman heatsinks + 120mm Scythe S-Flex@900rpm. 730core/1950memory rock stable...
