I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for in terms of looks but I have a tenba messenger that I use to carry my laptop and dslr. It looks like a standard messenger bag but is really great at holding all of my gear. You should check out the videos on the site. Tenba: Professional Bags for...

my original post is #12. amp w/ dac in gunmetal w/ 1ft cable.

I'm on the pre-order list too. I want one with the dac. Gunmetal w/ 1ft cable.

I think the pk3's would fit your needs nicely. They have a really enjoyable sound to my ears and you can get them from head-direct for $35. I read in the pk3 appreciation thread that some people thought they were the ksc-75 of the earbud world. http://www.head-direct.com/product_detail.php?p=5

I'm still burning the amp in. The high performance version's battery only lasts around 6-7 hours. Quote: Originally Posted by jpnz Hey how is the synergy with mini 3 and pk1? I think the synergy is excellent. I'm hearing a very slight roll-off of the highest treble which to...

I got mine from MisterX earlier this week (high performance version w/ad8397). It's a really nice amp and to my ears and easily outperforms the go-vibe v6 w/ 8397 + 822 opamps. It's good enough to at least make me think about possibly selling my hornet.

I've never heard it, but this seems to fit what you are looking for. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=229781

I've given the CKKIII over 100 hours of burn in and feel like it's gone through quite a bit of change. My CKKIII was built by MisterX and looks identical to Solitary1's amp. Internally, the gain is lower at 4.1 since I primarily listen with my A900LTD's and HF-1's. Also, the output...

My MisterX built CKKIII arrived today and I'm listening to it right now out of my iMod iPod and HF-1's. It looks identical to Solitary1's amp but I think the internals are slightly different. I won't say much until I've had some time to break it in and listen to it more critically. For now I...

Thanks for the pics kugino! The suprise of the meet for me was the micro amp with 2005 micro module. It sounded suprisingly good with A900LTD's and UM2's. The sound was dynamic with a fun presentation. I owned a microstack with a 2006 desktop module and it was nice but Terry's micro did...

My new portable rig. iPod Nano 2G 8GB -> ALO Cryo Micro LOD -> XTRA X-1 -> UE Metro.Fi 2 As a bonus the whole rig fits into the bag that came with the X-1.

My black x1 arrived today via ups. I looks like a nice amp but I can't get it to turn on. Did you guys have to charge it fully before turning it on? Is there some trick I am missing? btw, I have the plug adapter and it is currently plugged in and charging.(the charging light is red). /EDIT I...

Those are some nice impressions Terry. We have a meet impressions thread going over here http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=217026. You may want to repost your thoughts in that thread. Hopefully, I'll be able to put some thoughts down soon too.
