China is one of the up and coming of good quality but affordable high fidelity equipment. Case in point is the Xiang Sheng USB DAC-01A. Before we continue, for those who don’t know what is a DAC, its an acronym for Digital-Analog Converter. In this case, it converts the digital signal from the USB port to analog signal and passes to an amplifier. The Xiang Sheng USB DAC-01A is an affordable box, but packs a punch in features. I won’t attempt to go into every feature, but just the cool ones that made me throw down the cash to buy one.

I’m never a fan of wireless network even though I have a D-Link DIR-655 Wireless N router at home.
I’ll mainly be using the 4 ports Gigabit switch available on the DIR-655 for connections of my Mac mini server, MacBook Pro, NAS and Playstation 3.
The OpenNet’s Optical Fibre termination point is in the living where most of my servers, NAS, computers being in the bed room. Hence I’ve decided to try out the new Aztech HomePlug HL280E which enable network connection through the use of powerline up to 1000Mbps.

Bought a Korean-manufactured tempered glass stand ($42.90 SGD) from hardwarezone.com forum member Theonestop and collected from him in Yio Chu Kang MRT Station. Dimension (Length, Width, Height: 57cm x 25 x 8cm. The glass has a thickness of 80mm. I like the glass stand very much as it’s light-weight yet sturdy and able to hold my Dell U2410 monitor.
Glass Stand compactly packed inside a slim rectangular box with Korean wording tapes sealing the box.
