Thanks, Paolo - just realized in that thread that my favourite online store (NCIX) has the X5L - I couldn't find it anywhere in their site. Good news for people looking for them.

As suggested by someone in the thread, you can keep one sound card for general audio duties, and the AV710 for headphone use via high res output. I have such a setup, an Audigy driving my Logitech Z-560s and added the AV710 for headphone use. Today I even managed to create a batch file to...

A decent amp alternative to consider is the PocketAmp version2 by Gary - http://www.electricavenues.com . Quite nice and you get a volume control, which I find important also. 60 US plus shipping. I have one and like it.

Some of the models you mentioned are in different price ranges. I did some research on the Indigo and it seems like an ideal solution, even has an onboard amp that makes listening with phones very convenient. Only problem is it's not an USB device, which are convenient to play with different...

Excellent review - thank you!

Bummer, came late to the party. Their webpage lists no stock, and the emailed quote is now US$229. So, looks like the deal is off.

Very educational and scary to find this thread. Being in Canada makes buiyng from the US a bit of a shot in the dark. A friend just got hit with the odious 30 dollars 'brokerage fees' for an item worth US$50, shipping included. UPS of course. It seems the US Postal Service is the way to...

Cosmopragma, You are right, I responded on impulse before even using the very powerful search functions. Doing a search on this forum, titles only for Bada came up with 3 or 4 threads: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/searc...earchid=547611 Now, got to read them. Thanks for the tip.

Looks very nice. One thing that I noticed is the power supply takes 220 V only - hopefully they might be able to do a 110V version as a special request for those on 110V power... Same seller also has another tube amp - for a lower price. I was curious to see if anyone has tried it. The Bada...

I am planning to come as well - my first meet. Gear I have: - just in the door today, my Corda Prehead 1 Mk.II prototype. - a portable amp, PocketAmpV2 by Electric Avenues. - headphones: Senn HD425, HD490, and waiting (anxiously) for a new pair of AKG K501's.... Possibly bring a...

Interesting thread, I just received my Corda Prehead amp today, and have an AKG 501 on order coming soon too - can't wait to listen to them together... The Corda is now plugged in, and I am listening to bass like I never did before, Bill Evans trio playing tracks from 'Portrait in Jazz' -...

It's nice looking and has a passthrough to connect to other devices, 2 phone jacks, interesting. Power output is a little low at 100mW per channel, I think. Would like to hear if someone has experience with it too. AudioCubes can probably get you one of them.
