I'm liking that new Portable on the website... Looks neat, what module is it using?

welcome back Sloth!
I would too except I want to send along the new Micro and Ultra Micro stuff as well and we currently only have one of each. It's pretty hard to let those go out of the office. Soon enough.

Hi Jamey, is there any idea on when the page (or the appropriate addendum i suppose) for the Ultra Micro/DAC will be up and/or the anticipated pricing? Also, is it still the case the that new micro has (essentially) the Home model circuitry in it, as indicated by the first post of this thread?

Probably within about a month. The pricing will most likely be $399 for the standard which is arguably a little better than a Home Module due to its bigger output transistors. The standard Micro DAC is pretty identical to a Desktop DAC which is slightly better than the old Micro DAC. The Ultra Micro Amp will probably be $699 and is pretty much a Max Module. The Ultra Micro DAC is pretty much a Max DAC.
