Whats wrong with the jacks? I think kinda big fuss were kicked over. Unless u are throwing yr ipod and amp around, the jacks definitely will come off. I agree that the jack inputs are slightly different from other amps, but to me its not even a defect, its Meier design. Unique.

If you have a good source, even played on a simple system or rig, you will hear the difference.

Great product + crap after sales support = one hell of a emotional ride

I know that ipod can only support up to 320kbps. Whats the reason in importing music from CD at apple lossless which may be 500+kbps? Does it sound better since the cap limit of ipod is 320kbps?

thanx bro! i love its cross feed. Less fatigue. Wat a big bang for buck in Singapore!

Hi, I just got hold of this baby. Love its neutrality and transparency but I couldn't figure out what is the circled in red for? The manual did not mentioned its purpose.

Am i correct to say if i use the usb DAC of predator, its also using the amplifier section of predator? Just that it disables the mini jack input?

Just a quick question, if i use the predator's DAC, is the sound quality as good as the amp itself? Since if i use the DAC, it will bypass the amp circuitry. Should I hook laptop-->1xPredator USB---->Another predator Mini in--->UM2? Next question is how can i burn in both the dac and amp...

I have read skylab review and man! i feel like buying every single amp
