Wow!! Nice!

Hows that DAC compared to the phone/line out on the X60? I've always found thinkpads to sound service-ably good. But am thinking about upgrading.

on the bottom of the headphones the two cables hooked into them pull those out there supposed to fit tight just make sure you don't pull em by the cable and you should be fine.

whats the Cute amp u ordered? judging by the red LED i think its the Cute Beyond right?

hows the pairing with the Fubar DAC? (is it Fubar or Fubar II?? if im not mistaken the Fubar II is supposed to have "Fubar II" written on the faceplate)

im currently contemplating a Fubar II USB DAC myself to pair with my Cute Battery II and would love to hear some thoughts on the combo.

I have a Fubar II, and, like ds-'s (the original poster), mine is marked "Fubar" too.

Congratulations, ds-, on all the new gear.

mADmAN, the Fubar II is a very nice-sounding, affordable USB DAC. I am, in fact, listening to it now, driving one set of inputs (of two sets) on my Ray Samuels Audio Raptor. (My CD/SACD setup is plugged into the second of the two sets of inputs on my Raptor.)

I think you need to replace those CRTs with LCDs and gain back some desk space. Lots of monitor action going on in that pic!

Congrats on the toys. Time to get to some serious listening! And have fun with those Vibes. They really are a sweet little canalphone.

That wouldn't save him space really, he'd need the screens in the same place, they look like they fit perfectly there. Sweet setup!

Yes, that's the Cute Beyond and Fubar II.
The HD600 is a much improvement over my old HD570.

Total of all that equipment cost me almost $1000 CAD.
That's not including the ThinkPad X60 I got about a month ago, which was $1400 CAD. Very good price. Best laptop I've used.

I'd love to get a 20+ inch LCD monitor to replace my CRT, but I barely use my desktop now. But I wouldn't mind having one for my ThinkPad.

The foobar2k setup was a modification of a few other setups I found on the hydrogen forum, this one, and neowin. I can upload the whole thing if anyone is interested (if that's allowed now....)

Need to go to work to fill up my wallet again..... uh
