monte was #75. Anyone else in the next 5-10 still has a good shot at getting in the first shipment.

I am still taking any # of pre-orders

I was waiting until the first shipment was out to ask this, but since a few people did try it I guess why not...

How is the sound stage for an HD650 pair with the pico? I was looking into buying the Gilmore Lite but some impressions said they reduced the sound stage, something I love about my Sennheisers. I'm so tired of looking for amps and DACs that i think I'll just buy a pico w/DAC but this is holding me back.

Also, if I use it for gaming on my PC, will the DAC cause any lag with sound?

Oh and, stupid question I just want to let out, can one chain amps...? Like two picos or cmoy in series? or even two different ones...? just curious.

The USB interface will cause lag, yes. Also unless you have a really bad sound card it's not advisable to use a USB DAC for gaming, it'd bypass any features of your sound card, like the EAX and CMSS of the Creative Labs cards.

There are going to be a lot of different subjective impressions on any amp. Other than both being amplifiers, the Gilmore Lite and Pico don't have any similarities in design.

No different than any other USB audio device, probably 1ms or less.

There would only be disadvantages to doing this. The maximum power would remain the same

No payment is needed until the amps are ready to ship.

Is that so? Justin should probably update the original post then, since that's somewhat important.

Hey Justin,

Is it possible to request a low gain of 1x and high of 4x? 1x would be great for IEMs.

Thanks

A bit off topic... This reminds me of the Jerky Boys skit where this illegal immigrant is working for this guy who beats him. His name was Pico. It was hysterical.

Maybe Ed's rendering put me over the top, but I definitely want a Pico with DAC please. I don't need to be in the first shipment if others are super eager to get theirs. This amp was amazingly good with HD650s and it will be really nice to have such a little package to make laptop listening a joy with IEMs or full size cans. Congrats on the nice flow of pre-orders Justin!

UPDATE WITH OPTION CHOICES:

All Black Pico with DAC
1 foot USB
No personal engraving

Sweet!

Question, will the product be completed by the New York meet on the 10th of Nov.? I was just wondering because not only will the make the day that much better for me but it will save me a little on shipping.
