Anybody?

Has anybody purchased one of the Lite Audio (or other brand) DACs from Vocative Audio for shipment to the US. The prices seem good but I've never heard anyone here discuss them. thanks.

Anybody running this unit balanced who could draw a comparison between single-ended and balanced on this DAC?

Curious if anyone has compared the DAC-AM with the DAC 68 in balanced mode. I am looking for a balanced source and I like a mellower sound but I also like low end grunt. Seems like these two amps trade bass for smoothness. If that's the necessary compromise to go balanced from one of the Lite...

I own both an Airport Express and and Squeezbox III. I can recommend both without hesitation, but if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't buy the Airport Express. The Airport Express is far more user friendly and if you are the kind of plug-and-play person who already has all your stuff in...

Anyone who has experience care to comment on the differences in sound running the PS-1 balanced v. single ended. I am currently running the PS-1 out of an Earmax Pro and out of an AT-DHA3000. It sounds very good out of the Earmax Pro and fabulous of the AT-DHA3000, but I am considering parting...

ATH-W11JPN : these just seem like the were perfectly voiced for live performances by my favorite band - which is about 90% of what I listen to. Grado PS-1 : when the W11JPNs are too mellow, these just flat out rock.

Reading through a post here about how someone put PS-1 drivers in an HHF-1 enclosure has got me thinking about mixing and matching Grado drivers and enclosures. So I'm wondering about the following: I think I saw somewhere that someone here has an RS-1 enclosure with HP-1000 drivers in it...
