The 450 2V is best for standard line-level inputs. The 100 is best for IEM. The 1000 is best for high impedance big cans, but requires turning down the volume quite a bit with most typical headphones and with line level inputs. I run the 450 SE into my stereo but had the 1000 before. Even with...

Foe IEM the GeekOut 100. They have 30 units at "The Lowest Price Ever" right now on IGG for $231 with a December delivery.

Yeah that makes no sense considering RR does excellent 24/176.4 recordings...   The other factor is that now me and my friends are having terrible luck with "remasters". Probably about the last 10 out of 10 hires downloads we've bought have been worse than out previous CD or DVD-A (24/96)...

No, I'm pretty happy with what I have. Also, that is too much cable - and far to bright - for me to use it in my open console. Back when we were discussing cables for the campaign I pushed for a short jumper cable but nothing ever came of it so the 6" cables I'm using are clean and tidy.

I think a good quality cable can make a difference, but the best cable is no cable. So, I'm having good luck with a 6" Belkin Gold ($7) and a 6" Mediabridge USB extension (for the GeekOut). It's so short that I am less concerned with voltage drop, noise emission/absorption, impedance tolerances...

No,isochronous doesn't have any check-sum or packet resend functionality - the goal with this is to have timely data rather than total data integrity. How many data errors really occur in most cases I'm not sure, but Larry said he likes to keep very tight impedance tolerances as well(2%?).

I do not believe that the LPS will come with an USB cable.

it appears so... I'd be really happy for them if they finally have their products available somewhere other than KickStarter, IGG, and eBay. Great news. ;)

Hey Michael, Does the tracking # show any package received or in the system? :incredulous:

Always bet on black.... (backgrounds)       I'd be up for putting the Wyrd H2H against the LPS... In fair disclosure I'm weird though... I'm the person that doesn't make snap judgements. During Christmas when asked how I like a gift I'm often found with a with a befuddled look thinking how...

Yeah the LPS really kicked-up my Geek Out - really happy with it right now... I'm just using a 6" Belden Gold to the LPS and a 6" MediaBridge "DragonTail" type extender from the LPS to the GeekOut.

It's a Class-A dual 1W amplifier. Gets very hot... Of course you need a battery, or a powered hub, or a power supply. I believe anything over 100mA trips an iDevice.

Unshielded. Nice but unshielded. Had the Cu version before.

It depends... you won't find as much selection in 3.5mm mini <-> RCA cables. Mostly cheap mobile audio stuff. There are a few good ones out there from Oyaide, Kimber, etc.   Personally, I'd rather have flexibility in offerings and getting the correct length with better shielding etc. And you...

Or maybe something like vintage Altec, Zu Audio, or Klipsch Heritage... ;)  

IMO use your favorite RCA cable of sufficient length with a female RCA phono to 1/8" mini jack adapter:   http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=104&cp_id=10429&cs_id=1042902&p_id=7189&seq=1&format=2   http://www.amazon.com/Audioquest-3-5mm-Mini-Plug-to-2-RCA-Adapter-Hard/dp/B003VJX2F2/

Just looking at those numbers it's interesting that about 7-8% have upgraded to the Soul or Soul Tube.   Pulse users will be happy...very soon. Just received the LPS a couple days ago and the Geek Out SE is sounding better than ever. Not using a split cable yet...just have a 6" Belkin Gold...

  Many of them? Can you support this? Where is this listed?   And the few cases of this are somehow different than the many misrepresented PCM offerings on HDTracks (i.e. Beck w/ MP3s)?       And just for you to see where I am coming from...I have more DSD than PCM mostly from SACD rips...

It also appears to have the prototype blue display rather than the white.

Would love to hear more about this if you do it! ;)

The main problem is that the early-adopters who jumped on the "early bird" pricing and have been waiting the longest would get the least favorable trade-up value. Hoping they just do fixed upgrade pricing.

Android compatibility really has more to do with the device and the Thesycon drivers from Germany.

Maybe not in Rupees but a dual mono balanced DAC with Crystek femto clocks, minimum phase digital filter, and 4 channel linear 5/12v linear power supply for under a grand is a crazy good deal. Now let's just hope that the aesthetics of the final product look the part. ;)

Yeah they are well know for feeling that DSD is a niche, fad, buzzword, etc. Same thing with Charlie Hansen.   They are entitles to manage their product features the way they see fit, but when I look at my library and have mrs DSD ISOs than PCM  that;s going to take precedent over what those...

    IIs the 1120 way too big? I like them without the polycarbonate front'd prefer to not have the clear poly carbonate, otherwise the 1010 would be great. 1050 doesn't seem to be waterproof?
