Thanks! Really appreciate it. I ordered the Onkyo (US $180 on Amazon, the Pioneer is 2x this). Best, Lee

Hi All, after losing 2 expensive portable DACs and headphones, I've decided that I need to get an audio player which can hold most of my music and where I won't feel too bad when I lose it. Problem is that everything I find takes micro SD cards only up to 256GB. Any suggestions for reasonably...

Thanks to everyone for these really useful replies. I'm really considering the HM-801, I guess my big concern is storage space. Having to somehow fit my music on 7 SD cards seems really awkward and it sounds like it isn't the best solution to connect to a laptop via USB, which also is a much...

I can't tell you how bummed I was when my 256gb imod got lost. I was ready to dive into the dumpster, but it had already been taken out. So, now I need something to replace this. The deal is that I travel for the summer and want to take all my music with me in lossless (about 200gb). I could...

Smile, fun, know where to buy a new logic board? I got the HDD from Apricorn. Thanks Lee

So, I was just switching out the standard 80gb ipod (5.5g) hard drive for the 240 gb version, I took it apart, removed the old hard drive, put the new one in, and then when to put it back together again. When I went to reconnect the battery, things didn't look so good, the connector wouldn't go...

They arrived today, thanks to Todd and Joe!

After reading all of those warnings and occassionally having some ringing going on inside my head, I went out to radioshack (shocking) and bought a sound meter. I don't think it would work with my ety's but with the Senns or Grados I just make sure that the needle doesn't go above 80db more than...

I'm there, very stoked about hearing the headroom gear too. I'll bring two sources. Who

I will be there on the 28th, thankful for the date change as the 21st wasn't so good. I'll bring my Cary, HD600's with Cardas Cable, RA-1, Interconnects, could also bring an older verion Rega Planet if another source is needed. Looking forward to hearing some other systems. Who

It isn't ideal for me as I'll have family in town and depending on the weather we are going to try to get out, but I might be able to make it. If everyone else is good with that date don't schedule around me. Who

Well then maybe I can serve some purpose other than taking up a place on the floor and a pair of phones. I'd be happy to bring my stuff, I really like the Cary. This vision of the 300SEI keeps going through my head... Who

I'd love to come to the Seattle meet and hear some other phones. I have amps on the brain right now and would really like to hear some of the other mythic amps that can not be heard in other venues. Unfortunately, I don't think my system is going to add much to the mix (what, you don't need a...

I don't have a collection of PCDs to compare too, but here is my take on the 401. I'm in my office now, so it is being compared to a 1992 kenwood cd changer. The Kenwood does have a headphone out, but it sounds so horrid I won't include it. Setup: 401 - Monster cable 400MK II mini to RCA...

Sorry to bug you all with yet another quesiton about the best line-out PCDP, but reading through all the threads below is just leaving me confused. So here is the story, I'm doing some traveling this summer and need a portable source. I'm use a system with Cardas Neutral Reference...
