Double amping may be a bit demonized around here, but have you tested the headphone out in this manner? With what secondary amp?

Ohhhhhhh, took a while to decide, but i'll bite.

One Pico WITH the DAC, please. With a side of fries

Thanks,

I guess that depends on whether or not low gain is unity gain or not.

No, no-one has tested the Pico yet apart from at the meet, AFAIK.

I'm just assuming it will sound OK!

We'll know for sure soon.

Also, is there going to be a line out if you just want to take advantage of the DAC?

Ok, so can anyone answer the first question I asked above please?

Also, what opamps are you using, Justin?

Justin,
The Pico with optional USB DAC for me

Hi Justin,

Would like to reserve one Pico with DAC shipped to Hong Kong. I do hope the DC adaptor is universal voltage. If not, I would need one for 220V a.c. supply.

Thanks,
F. Lo
