Questions for the owners-- can the balanced and single-ended hp outs be used at the same time?

any feedback from the guys who received theirs? I got a bad news from Marco, mine will be shipped December 8-10.

Sorry guys, a little OT here-- anybody can point me to a guy/store that can recable my cans to a balanced one? I'm living in Voorburg. Ik begrijpt maar een beetje Nederlands, ik spijt me

This is more of a question to Lavry DA10/DA11 owners. I've searched a lot in the threads and MOST if NOT ALL owners doesn't have an amp to match with this baby! Is the built-in amp of Lavry that good? The reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of buying this DAC, but I've read on some threads...

IMO, coming from being a home theater enthusiast, if you want to watch movies it's better off with 5.1 or 7.1 speakers-- NOT UNLESS the neighbors would complain then I'll go for headphones

Took the bite and ordered one today. Marco of M2Tech is really helpful He told me France is going to have its stock next week, hopefully our items should be shipped next week also

LOL I think this is what you're looking for-- although this will burn your wallet more EDIT: I also have an MK III and I was thinking an iPod as my source but I'm worried about garbage in = garbage out, so I turned to FLAC from my computer but then my sound card is also crap so I've ordered...

Hey CapQ, I noticed you have a Benchmark DAC1 also and a Little Dot DAC_I before, care to share your impressions compared to mastertrash' review?
