Also when you say that the Pentaconn is sturdier, that may be true compared to a 2.5mm or 3.5mm but clearly isn't when compared to 6.3mm or XLR, so there goes another way suggested reason fit switching on desktop products.

Whether a summer is required depends on the topology, but the Mjolnir 2 or Ragnarok for example do actively sum their balanced outputs into single ended, and thus need a separate jack. So, two Pentaconns? Or the tried and true 1/4 inch and 4 pin XLR

Pretty sure that wouldn't work for technical reasons. Balances amplifiers have been separate sections for each channel and need to be summed for the single ended output. There need to be two separate jacks to accommodate the that. Also, tip ring sleeve style plugs short when being inserted...

Genius. +1.

Where did I put my popcorn?

YMMV but I keep up with Mike and Jason's posts by periodically going to their profile, the recent activity/posts, and then just opening each post in a new tab and reading any updates. Easy way to quickly see what they said since the last time you saw, without having to go through the entire thread.

Glad to see the name you chose!

The reason people are confused by what you're trying to say, or correcting you, is that it is not an AC-AC wall wart. If it were, it would output AC. It outputs DC. Therefore, it's an AC-DC wall wart, and it is also a linear power supply. Edit: It also doesn't help that you explicitly said...

I'll have my long overdue review up before the end of the weekend

Got my Black Widow. It's beautiful, I'm very pleased with this. Definitely worth the wait

I love my 560s and continue to seek audio nirvana. The SUSVARA seems to me to be the monumental step my rig needs :)

I've had the Neos for about two weeks now and while I'm enjoying my time with them, I am starting to wonder when I should be getting an address to send them on to the next person in line.

I have one of the US units right now, coming up on a week, I got ahold of it last Saturday. I'd say the site update has definitely put a bit of a hamper on things

Strongly considering a Sera->Maya upgrade this summer, curious and excited to see the announcement in June.
