My Massdrop username is MakaR  I'd like to see some Digital music servers, even better a Massdrop collaboration digital server. Thanks - 

Thanks guys.  I really appreciate your input. Aloha, Maka 

Hi Nick, Hi Jazzerdave,   You guys rock!  Cool ideal on sharing the tube rolling experience. After hearing your Rigs at the Austin meet, I became determined to get a Decware amp and increase my headphone collection. I am the long haired Hawaiian that you both took the time to talk to and...

I think it would be worth a listen.  The AK4396 "Miracle" Chip is supposed to not suffer from the digital sheen of other Sigma Delta chips.   Many posts about it on it in this Forum,  Might be a good match with a tube buffered output.  Please post a review if you get it.

Hopefully you had some time to get out during SXSW to see some live music.  Auditorium shores had the Flaming Lips last night and Robert Randolph tonight. Saw / heard the James Hunter Six for the first time.  Nice Brit Soul n Blues.  It was cool to hear the small venues, like an alley between...

I'd like to echo a big Mahalo Nui Loa to all the music lovers who shared their awesome gear and ears-on experience at the Austin head-fiers meet-up. It was my first time attending this type of event and you were all great in making me feel comfortable and part of the experience. Here were some...

I'm looking forward to this awesome introduction to the world of Headphones.   Thanks, to you' all.  Very impressive.   I will bring a box of HygenX disposible headphone covers.  Not sure if anyone will use them, but you never know.

It's USB uses a USB type A to type A connector cable to connect to a computer. The Burr Brown DAC in the Dared is a standard device and should work for most modern computers operating systems. For an Ipod you would need to connect from the headphone out on the Ipod to the RCA audio line-in...
