I'll come if anyone wants to listen to any of my stuff. Juzmister's first post suggests nobody as yet is bringing;

Apogee Duet DAC
Zero DAC
Zhaolou 2 DAC
Trends Audio 10.1 DAC

ATH-AD1000
ATH-ES7

Ipod Touch 2nd Gen

PM me if you want to hear this stuff. I may end up coming anyway, as I'm thinking about getting a pair of Grado/Alessandros.

Ok, will update. We're getting a bit full for one room, I think we'll have to take two...Meets across two rooms are bit annoying, but we'll do the same as what we did at the office? One quiet listening (high end) room and another social room?

What time are you thinking of starting and finishing this meet?
I'd also be bringing a Little Dot DAC_1.

(I have soccer commitments in the afternoon, so just figuring out if I can come for a good portion of the meet. If it's going to run later, I could leave some stuff there and come back later.)

If we have to register interest then you could put me down as a 'maybe', as I'm certainly interested. I'd love to hear some high end stuff, to give me an idea of exactly what you get for the amounts of money some people spend on this hobby.

Would depend on study commitments etc on the day though.

I am on the proto group for the gamma2 so there is a possibility (depending on if I get it to work in time) I can bring it along (sans panels) and we can a/b it with the Pico on a certain someones Woo

DIYMOD 5.5G
iHP132CF

no of course not, although there are some universal demos getting around the place which can be ordered aparrently for things such as meets. so maybe i'll have a word with them and ask if could send one with my pair. would you guys be interested in throwing in for the return shipping if they will?? otherwise what I meant is to cram my customs into your ears, which is a method that has been used for review in the ES3X thread LOL, thus my comment..ridiculous!! but apparently if you have similar ear shape it is possible to get a reasonable seal

Sure thing, the Woo has 2 inputs with a selector switch as well, to make source comparisons easier.

I had a bit of a mini meet at my place this weekend with wink (friend of Nickyboyo's), who had a Cambridge DacMagic. The comparisons between that and the Pico were interesting. The DacMagic seemed to be more detailed and faster, but at the expense of a bit of glare or harshness. There's a possibility that this could have been due to the interconnects used though - the Pico was using my Cryoparts RCAs, wheras the DacMagic was using a pair of Gold Raincoats from Cattylink, which despite being mine for thepast 2 years, have never seen use

Regardless, for complex passages, the DacMagic kept up better and individual images were easier to follow, while the Pico had the advantage of being smoother and easier to listen to.
