I'll probably have a cross country meet that morning, but if not I'll definitely be coming.

Yeah that was actually me with the Zero DAC haha.

Hahahah the fail chair. I love that picture of me.

This is an excellent, excellent sounding DAC. The mids are incredibly smooth and realistic sounding, the highs are extended nicely, and the bass is well defined and controlled. It has a nice sense of space to it, and it projects a very realistic sounding soundstage. Overall, it's very smooth and...

Since my my DAC_I finally arrived(it sounds excellent by the way), I'll be bringing the old Zero along in case anyone is interested in hearing it or possibly buying it. I would probably sell it for around $100.   Less than a week

My DAC_I should be here in a few days! I'll post some impressions once it comes.

So David just let me know that my DAC_I has shipped, which means it should most definitely be arriving before the 17th. It looks like we'll have a coupe of them at the meet now!

Hey Poppa, you can add my "Main Rig" to the gear list. I should also have my Little Dot DAC_1 by then, so add that as well.

Quote: Nice, I'm excited to hear the HF2 again. I have a feeling that it will sound great with my LD I+.

Quote: I would bring all of it if I was you. I'm planning on buying a LD DAC 1 sometime in the future, so I would love to hear yours.  

Do we know if anyone is bringing a T1? I've been dying to hear it

I'll definitely try to make this meet. I was super disappointed that I wasn't able to make the last one, but I think this will work out. Woodinville is a bit closer than Centralia haha.

If you find that the problem isn't the tubes, then it's probably the opamp. My I+ had an identical problem at one point, but swapping the opamp totally fixed it.

Ahh I'm not sure if I can make it anymore. My friend isn't able to come now, so I need to figure out another way to get there. If anyone could possibly provide a ride let me know. Worst comes to worst I could drive myself, but I'm a little concerned that my car won't survive the journey...

Is anyone else bring an HD800? I'd really like to hear it again!

From the personal experience I've had with it(my USB>SPDIF converter supposedly has a good amount of jitter), there's almost no audible effect. If I AB between my CD transport and my computer through the converter, I struggle to hear any difference. I sometimes think I hear a little more...

I'm gonna try to make the trip with a friend. If I come, I'll be bringing everything from the "main rig" is my sig. Edit: I just confirmed with my friend that he'd be willing to drive, so you can add me to the list!

I'm 17. I think I've spent like $800 total...

Sorry guys, I decided to go to the "dark side"( see what I did there?) and buy a 225i instead of a 325i.

For under $200, the Little Dot I+ is a great choice. It sends a ton of power to low impedance headphones, like Grados, and drives my 225i's incredibly well. They sound noticeably faster and more dynamic on the I+ than on my Zero's built in amp.

I'd personally say go for the Grados. I've never really been a fan of the laid back, boring sound of Sennheisers. The only ones I've really liked were the HD800's.
