I've seen a couple of very positive reviews about this product a few months ago but nothing more.   I believe they have been shipping production units out since late August (at least according to their website).  It may be too soon for anyone to have received one, but just in case someone has, I...

I currently have a GS-X - extremely nice amp but have been using with older Benchmark DAC1-USB.   I've found that I prefer the sound of my newer Anedio D1 but since it has no XLR output, I would like to find a balanced DAC similar to the Anedio to use with my GS-X.    Have been reading a lot of...

I just received a GS-X (fantastic amp) and am presently using the XLR output from my DAC1 USB for balanced operation.   I would like to know how best to configure the DAC1 XLR output to match the GS-X.   Presently I'm using the DAC1 factory settings with XLR output jumpers set to -20 db...

Has anyone had any recent experience (within the past 2-4 months) ordering one Justin's desktop amps (e.g. GS-1, GS-X). Last year I cancelled an order for a GS-X primarily due to an excruciatingly long (> 1 yr) wait time. I ended up buying another balanced amp, which I'm generally satisfied...

Just acquired HD800's -- they seem to sound pretty darn good "out of the box". Does anyone have an opinion as to how much break-in time (if any?)they need to reach top performance? AKG701's are reputed to require close to 300+ (maybe more) hours before sounding their best -- mine have at least...

Has anyone heard this new DAC (it may not have been released yet but maybe there are some "preview" listenings)? Any comparisons with other DACs (e.g. Benchmark, Bel Canto, etc)? I currently have a DAC1-USB and am curious as to whether this new HR DAC would be a worthwhile upgrade.

Just curious -- how do these 2 amps compare soundwise? This seems a bit unclear to me from reading the various threads posted so far on the Pico. The AE-2 (which I just received several weeks ago after a long wait) is a very fine sounding portable to my ears -- so aside from size and the option...

I'm torn between getting just the Benchmark DAC1 and using it's own headphone amp or pairing the DAC1 with the HeadAmp GS1 with DACT stepped attenuator. I would be using mainly K701 phones. I would think the latter combo might (or should?) be better but by how much? Is there any advantage in...

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has had the opportunity to compare these two amps. I currently have the "pimped-out" Desktop with Max amp and DAC modules, and K701 phones. The word has it that the "ultimate" HR amp is the balanced Max with Max DAC and Alps pot -- so how much better is...
