Smyth Research Realiser A16
That's my listing and I have no affiliation with the previous A16 that was on sale. Maybe "opened only to take photos" comment made it look similar. Anyway, feel free to PM with any questions.- gevorg

CanJam SoCal 2017 (April 8-9, 2017)
Very interested in this. What kind of speaker system/room will be used for the Realizer demo? Would A16 backers be able to get a copy of their PRIR measurements?- gevorg

Schiit Gungnir DAC
Some of us use DSPs and EQs that resample to a higher sample rate, so might as well keep it at "NOS" and not resample it again with the DAC's internal filter. Maybe a future Gungnir can have a NOS mode like Biforst at a max sample rate? This probably won't make much of a difference, given how...- gevorg

Review: CEntrance DACport Slim DAC/Amp Combo

Review: CEntrance DACport Slim DAC/Amp Combo
It won't work because Apple does not supported USB powered devices on lighting port (you'll get a message like "your device uses too much power"). It might work with a USB regen type device that will provide independent power, not from iPhone, but the regen device I have from Uptone Audio is not...- gevorg

Review: CEntrance DACport Slim DAC/Amp Combo
http://www.thewelltemperedcomputer.com/Intro/SQ/VolumeControl.htm If your music playback software can be set for zero-padding to 24-bit, you can get 48db of "bitperfect" digital volume control when playing 16-bit redbook content.

At which price point do loudspeakers outperform the best headphones?
Depends on your priorities and what you value in sound quality/reproduction. Top of the line headphones rule detail retrieval and do an excellent job to achieve a neutral FR, but no headphone setup can match the soundstage/imaging/etc of even the cheapo Emotiva $300 speakers. Headphones vs...- gevorg
