Glad you're still on the uStreamer team, man. As far as the Geek goes, that business where it kicks into high volume because you touch something scares the crap out of me.
ThanX
YEAH
BIG design flaw on their part! I don't use IEMs at home - but even w/ my Audeze, Mr.Speakers, or others I gotta be careful!
I wrote about that into my review of the unit - they said something about wanting to include some aspects of their 20K DaVinci DAC (which is amazing, though 20K - I'm a bit OVER the high end in that way - thank God) but I think they should do an update for that.
Using the MS RIGHT NOW!
I actually prefer its synergy with the NuForce HAP-100 over my Mytek 192-DSD DAC!!
Also:
I always take it when I travel, as it can easily drive everything from my Audeze LCD2 w/ Fazor (even drove my OG LCD-3,
as indicated in my original review) to my Alphas and its also quiet enough to drive my JH Audio JH-13 Freqphase!!
Wow, that's quite high praise for the microStreamer, especially given all the hype around the Geek products these days. I still have yet to hear a Geek Out though.
Well, HRT was sort of at the Headphonium: At my booth at THE Show Newport, I had Out Of Your Head driving three mircoStreamers paired with some Schiit amps, electrostats, etc. The microStreamers worked great.
Another question, has anyone tried driving a pair of HD600's directly out of the microStreamer? Does it have enough power to get decent listening levels? A customer was asking me about it the other day, but I don't have a pair of HD600's to try.
YEAH Darin!
I forgot about that.
How's the Vostok (SP?) coming?
What a serious sesh we had at CES!!!!
SURE - I was honored to write the first review of the microStreamer for Positive Feedback! - as I know Kevin really well.
Hell, I went to work for Elite Distro (their distributor) years ago because I loved their OG music streamer so much!
I wrote about it for The Daily Swarm - letting people know they can have FAR better than a Y-cable leading to their computer!
As the Swarm is a music site - but my Sonic Satori column also lives there.
IMO: it's still the king of these small USB DAC/amps!
thats the OG DF
just got the ver1.2 - lets see how it does!!
