I prefer my D2 to my A828. Supports FLAC for a start. Bass roll off isn't an issue when using a portable amp (Pico) I find

The ESW10 is considerably better on EVERY front that the ESW9, I am already selling my ESW9 to a friend of mine very soon so sorry about that! I have to say that when I use the Pico usb DAC out of my thinkpad x200, the ESW10 is especially astounding

ok, so I took some photos which show the Pico closer up today seeing as I had some daylight this time around.

what's the problem?

guess it's a picture of my portable rig rather than just the Pico!

I received my Pico this morning in England. My God I love it! Especially good using the usb DAC out of my thinkpad x200. What a fantastic purchase, worth every penny. Looks beautiful too. I'll put some photos up later on of my setup. Thankyou Justin. You were very helpful and succinct in...

My Pico w/DAC will arrive tomorrow morning. I was just curious to know, would the sound quality be higher-fidelity coming out of my Cowon D2 using FLAC, or out of my thinkpad X200 using the USB DAC of the Pico for the laptop, also using FLAC ? Is the difference here the quality of the DAC...

Justin, I have just emailed you regarding a 'supposed' delivery attempt of my Pico (#655) in England, which failed.

I went for a pair of ATH-FC700s from audiocubes. I figured they will be good, hard to get outside of Japan and they are fold-away portable as she would throw them in her bag for the most part. I think I may also give her my Sony A828 with some of my favourite music on it for her to listen to...

ESW9 and ESW10JPN, the woodies with small, simple and elegant form.

thinkpad x200 with ESW10JPN and ESW9. My Pico is still in customs in the UK for some reason, so am waiting for that!

There is this girl I really like and I want to get her some portable headphones to run out of her ipod for her birthday. I am wanting to spend up to about £40 (~$70). The portables have to be headphones, not in-ear. I want them to be simple and lean aesthetically, and not too big. Preferably...

I have had mine since January and they haven't broken in any way. They probably won't get much chance to break anymore either since I got my ESW10JPN.

thankyou very much

Justin what is the delivery estimate on Picos going to the UK from the day they are shipped?

audiocubes now lists the ESW10JPN as being only SIX left in the entire market

by the time I receive mine, which I expect will be in the next few days. It will have been roughly three months since I first emailed Justin. So that is maybe how long it will take.

Thinkpad X200 with ESW10JPN as an alternative to my Cowon D2. I just received shipping confirmation on my Pico today so I'll put up photos when that arrives for my first every complete rig.

you want it you got it Rednamalas1 !!!
