Great, thanks for clearing that up 17 years later. 0_o Biggie.

Thanks to everyone for letting me listen to a lot of cool gear. :)   My impressions:   Mr. Speaker Electrostatic Prototype Headphones My favorite setup of the meet was the mr. speaker electrostatic prototype headphones hooked up to the headamp blue hawaii. Going back and forth between it...

I'll be bringing Cavalli liquid lightning mkI, which I'll be putting up for sale. I don't have a table but I could put it on someone else's if they are interested in hooking it up.   Biggie.

I'm interested in attending. Any recommendations for tube amp repairs around the bay area?   Biggie.

I'll take the ps-1 over rs-1, hp1000 or gs1000's. More energy than the hp1000's and more detailed and refined than the rs-1's, making them more consistently good across different types of music.   Biggie.

I wonder if that will apply to North America as well. Guess we will have to wait and see.   Biggie.

Does this dac have a release date?   Biggie.

Want to hear.   Biggie.

Quote:   DSP module as well.   Biggie.

Have any release dates been posted for this unit?   Biggie.

There is an eastern electric dac using the sabre dac that is closer to your budget:   http://www.morningstaraudio.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=12   I have no experience with the dac.   Biggie.

I've got a ONE and an m451. Both are great amps. The m451 gives my speakers more low end oomph than the ONE.   Biggie.

I've listened to 3 udacs and all were a bit louder on the left. Biggie.

According to the headphonia site my order hasn't even shipped yet doh. Biggie.

Compass is quite thick in the mids and bottom end, regardless of what opamp you use. Haven't heard any of their other gear though. Biggie.

Look at the price list. Biggie.

They are a very polarizing headphone. You either love them or hate them. They do certain things no other headphone does. Biggie.

I own a udac and I ordered one of those usb rca cable over the weekend, so I'll be able to compare the too. Biggie.

I own the uDac, audio-gd compass and little dot dac II. I have used them all as usb headphone amps with my grado hf-2's. The compass is quite smooth and tonally dark (doesn't matter which opamps it is using). The little dot has a clearer sound, but is a bit dry for my taste and slightly bright...

225 or rs-1 you can't go wrong. Biggie.

Its a terribly done 3d model of grado headphones, for $30. You guys are reading too much into this. :P Biggie.
