I want my next amp to be portable since a lot of my opportunities to listen are where a portable would be useful. I'm really interested in seeing how good a full-sized amp can sound, though, so that's on my list in a few steps.
That brings up another can-of-worms, which is my source. Currently I use an ITouch, and my interconnects are spliced together from the ends I cut off two cheap headphones. At some point I need to make some quality cables, and also I will probably need to make a LOD for the IPod. I'm not sure when the IPod will become the weak link, but that point will probably be fairly soon.

I build them too, but I hardly ever use them except for travelling. In that vein, I much prefer DAC+Amp configurations for travels and I wish there was a project like the Pico, and I don't really want to design my own as my interests are else where, but may have to out of necessity. |
