That's my listing and I have no affiliation with the previous A16 that was on sale. Maybe "opened only to take photos" comment made it look similar. Anyway, feel free to PM with any questions.

Very interested in this. What kind of speaker system/room will be used for the Realizer demo? Would A16 backers be able to get a copy of their PRIR measurements?

Some of us use DSPs and EQs that resample to a higher sample rate, so might as well keep it at "NOS" and not resample it again with the DAC's internal filter. Maybe a future Gungnir can have a NOS mode like Biforst at a max sample rate? This probably won't make much of a difference, given how...

Another year, another "The PCM1704UK stock in an emergency, Global 100 units limit" :rolleyes:

What about power button on the remote? Right next to the LED brightness button? :evil:

Something has to provide power for the DAC/amp device, so the other option is the $350 Centrance DACportable, which is battery-powered: http://www.centrance.com/products/dacportable/ EDIT: iPhone 6S already has decent sound quality (relatively to other portable devices), so it takes some...

It won't work because Apple does not supported USB powered devices on lighting port (you'll get a message like "your device uses too much power"). It might work with a USB regen type device that will provide independent power, not from iPhone, but the regen device I have from Uptone Audio is not...

First affordable one. There is a LIO Headphone Amplifier with all kind of modular options: http://www.vinnierossi.com/lio-headphone-amplifier/ Yes, almost car-priced. :)

http://www.thewelltemperedcomputer.com/Intro/SQ/VolumeControl.htm If your music playback software can be set for zero-padding to 24-bit, you can get 48db of "bitperfect" digital volume control when playing 16-bit redbook content. That is, only the zero padded bits would be affected by volume...

Depends on your priorities and what you value in sound quality/reproduction. Top of the line headphones rule detail retrieval and do an excellent job to achieve a neutral FR, but no headphone setup can match the soundstage/imaging/etc of even the cheapo Emotiva $300 speakers. Headphones vs...

I've upgraded from X-Sabre to Gumby. The Yggy will be an even bigger step-up.

Its the Left / Right channel of "The Fire Rises" track on the 24/192 version. Screenshot of spectral frequency display as rendered by Adobe Audition.

I enjoy Zimmer soundtracks as well, too bad that "The Dark Knight Rises" hi-res from HDTracks is brickwalled at ~22KHz:
