JDS Labs C5D, C5 plus DAC!
Just heard about this on Reddit and didn't see a thread here. I've been considering getting a DAC and an amp to use with my iPhone 5 and this looks perfect for the price ($249) I emailed Jason from JDS and he says it DOES work with iPhone 5 (and other devices obviously), you do need a...- MattyB37

ios7, iPhone and Apple CCK
Sorry to ask a stupid question but I just want to make TOTALLY sure before I spend the $. I can use my iPhone 5 (not an S or C, plain old iPhone 5) with the HRT microstreamer as long as I have a Lightning CCK and USB to mini-USB adapter?- MattyB37

Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier
I just placed an order for a Magni about 5 minutes ago (yay!) I already have (and love) a Modi that I use with my Audioengine A2s and I just got my first pair of decent headphones Beyer DT990/250s) in the mail this earlier week. Needless to say I'm pretty excited.- MattyB37

Using an input selector with Modi/Magni
I currently have a Schiit Modi that I use between my laptop and a paid of Audioengine A2s, I just received a pair of Beyerdynamics DT 990 250 Ohms that I ordered and I'll be placing an order for a Magni soon. I'd like to be able to use the Modi with both the A2s and the Magni but I'd rather not...- MattyB37
