Whoops.
Yeah, I take 27 down. I thought you lived farther south, closer to actual Cincy?
Yeah, the U7 looked nice, but it's inferior to the U3 in terms of headphone-surround capabilites. Dat 2 channel bottleneck. Too bad.
Lived in Springdale till April, now I'm just outside of the Northgate area.
It's surprising that they'd limit the headphone output on the U7. Oh well. I don't have any optical DACs at the moment and it'll be a few months before I do, otherwise I'd lend one to you for a try. I'm pretty much exclusively USB at this point.
