    About the LavryBlack DA11

    I own one, and I use it to drive my 300 ohm HD650's single-ended from the headphone jack - it has a volume setting from 00 to 56, and my normal listening level is around 20. I am sure it would have plenty of power to drive 600 ohm headphones as well.

    Onkyo ND-S1 iPod dock

    Yep, before typing that last note, I ran out to my car and brought my 6th gen iPod in. As I did with the 7th gen, I docked it... and then while playing a song through my dac/amp, I surfed the menus, scrolled through coverflow, and changed the tune all using the touch wheel. As always, it worked...

    Onkyo ND-S1 iPod dock

    I'm using the latest (7th gen) 160g iPod. I have a previous gen (6th) 120g iPod that I use in my car. The touch wheel is disabled when I use it with my car stereo (it shows a logo and the current song when my head unit is controlling it), but I can use the full touch wheel functionality with...

    HeadAmp Pico Portable Amp (w/ optional upsampling 24/96 USB DAC) Pre-Order Thread

    Well, chomp chomp, I hereby eat my words on USPS tracking info for Priority Mail. Today the USPS track & confirm page shows that my package arrived at the PO a couple blocks from where I work yesterday morning (Saturday) and it was delivered at my workplace a few hours later. Now I'm...

    Onkyo ND-S1 iPod dock

    With the provided remote, no. You can play/pause the current song, or skip forward and backwards a song, playlist, or album at a time (or turn shuffle and/or repeat on/off), but you can't navigate through the menus. The touch wheel still has full functionality when docked, though.

    I just lol'd Coke Zero out of my nose all over my keyboard. Trust me, I will gladly eat my words when the mailroom guy sends me an email that I have a package today - or Monday.

    Yeah, I know - but they have gotten a lot better about that for Priority Mail (I think first class & parcel post still lag far behind). The last several priority mail packages I've received had tracking that looked like typical UPS info.

    ^^Same here. I received a tracking number 2/10 that to this day shows "Electronic Shipping Info Recieved" and a new one on 3/14 along with a note saying it had been dropped off, but the PO still has not scanned it.

    DacMagic vs. 10-year-old AVR

    Yep, what SoupRKnowva said. I think you'd get a better comparison with better source.

    DacMagic vs. 10-year-old AVR

    You should try the test with something better than streamed 192K source data.

    JHaudio ear impressions "What gave you the best fit."

    My audiologist is an authorized JH dealer, and as such, she took my impressions just as JH's instructions say (I didn't have to tell her how). Perfect fit.
