wow... makes me appreciate my Duet that much more
That is a great option but you lose the quick support you get when you order from Japan, and you may have to pay somewhat hefty import fees. Early adopters do that, but the vast majority would prefer to buy here.
I've been using it with my iBasso DX50 and the two is a really strong pairing
Not only that, but because the DX50 is of such high fidelity, you need to match it to a very good amp in order to get anywhere. And the DUET does it. Totally.

Knowing the prices for other Cypher Labs stuff, I can imagine it will be around 1000$ or 100.000¥.
So to use with Parterre (used mostly) and HD600, would you have a preference between Duet and Pure II?
Have on order iPod touch 64GB and lightning to 30pin adapter.. I know some of you have iPod touches and the Duet, any experience using the lightning to 30 pin LOD with the Duet?
Also, still on the lookout for a quality portable DAC to use with the iPod touch. One of the issues I'm struggling with is finding info on the line out VRMS values. Anyone know what what kind of power the -dB, -R and GoDAP are putting down at their line outs? Basically I'm trying to find the lowest VRMS in a sad attempt to get more volume control with the SE846. As it stands the amount of volume pot travel, even on low gain, is like a couple of millimeters at best.
I'm really starting to appreciate the Duet's sound more and more as I'm learning to look past the response characteristics of the iPhone 4s LOD and focus in on the superb liquid texture, layering, and detail of the Duet. The Duet and the SE846 together produce some stunning acoustic bass notes...
Edit:
Found a source that indicated:
iPhone 4s line out is .4v
iPod touch 5 is .5v via lightning to 30pin
But another guy claims that the iPod touch 5 is not as loud as previous gen...
I'm reading that CLAS have a massive 2.25 VRMS on the line out. Anyone, confirm or deny?
