Hi folks.  I am interested in getting an iPod Touch 6G 128GB and using it as a digital transport. I have googled around and it seems that an iPad or iPhone can be used simply by getting the standard Apple Lightning to USB Camera adapter. However, I haven't had any luck locating a clear and...

Hi folks. I have a question for either George or Tyll. Can we have the user manuals for the Balanced Ultra Amp and Balanced Ultra DAC posted to their respective product pages and the HR Amp manuals page when they are ready? Oh, and a second question comes to mind: Are the Balanced Ultras both...

Hi folks. My order has finally been shipped! Audio nervana approaches. Fingers crossed for Tuesday next week. However, I have a question. Could someone who has the DPS tell me does it come with a US-terminated power cord or do you connect to the wall outlet via an IEC cable like the Astrodyne...

Hi everyone. This thread has been a bit quiet. Perhaps my news will liven it up a little. I finally made a decision and did the deed. Today, I placed an order for a Desktop amp with Max amp and dac modules, stepped attenuator and DPS. HD650's are also coming. So now, it's down to waiting. I'm...

Hi. It seems there is a bit of confusion around the question of which power supply will suffice for the HeadRoom Desktop line of amplifiers. So, I gave HeadRoom a call and had a chat with one of there sales reps. i have taken the recommendations that HeadRoom makes concerning which power supply...

Hi. I haven't an EMU so can't give you any advice concerning how it compares with the Bithead. It is certain however that the EMU sports more features than the Bithead, but then it is a sound card, not a portable dac/amp. One thing worth double-checking on is if the EMU can run independently...

Quote: Originally Posted by feifan <snip> Yeah, they're right next to each other. That's one of the first things I futzed with -- the PS connections. I found that the DTB raised the heat level of the DPS to a significant degree. When I switched in the Astrodyne, the DTB seemed to...

Feifan, oh cripes. That's not making it easier! ;-) I'm leaning a bit more towards the DT with it's preamp functionality, but responses like this are making it dificult to forget the idea of balanced. I better continue pondering the issue. Did you get the stepped attenuator on your DB? If so...

Hi everyone. Thanks for the replies so far. There's some good information and opinions here. First of all, thanks to Voltron for mentioning Meier Audio and Rudistor. I have considered the Meier amps, but hadn't looked too carefully at the Rudistor ones. I had a hunt around the Rudistor Web site...

Hi everyone. I've been contemplating an integrated DAC/Amp solution for some time now and I am considering the Headroom Desktop line of Amps. The features that attract me are: . The small footprint. . Built-in DAC so everything's in one small box. I live in a small one-bedroom apartment...

I hope I haven't misunderstood the Sloth; I believe the two new units he mentions are the 2007 Micro Portable and the 2007 Desktop Portable. Does the 2007 Desktop Portable have a pre amp out? No mention is made of this on the product page. Perhaps it shows up in the photo, but I'm not really...

And while folks are tossing out names, how about Melissa Etheridge?

And a further question. I see from the Micro Portable Web page that the battery is supposed to last 20 hours. I'm assuming that figure is DAC free. How long will the battery last if the Micro is purchased with the DAC?

Hi there. I was on Headroom's Web site last night and observed that HR is now accepting preorders for the new Desktop Portable amp. However, there's not a lot of real information (i.e. specifications) available on it. The product page mainly consists of marketing copy explaining in broad terms...

Wow! All the things Tyll talks about in his initial postsound awesome. However, I'd like to see two additional things: Firstly, since there is going to be pre-stored data such as correction curves, etc., then I would hope there will be a flash RAM for storage as well as some mechanism for making...

Concerning the micro portable, will the LyPo battery be user replaceable or will the micro have to be shipped back for battery replacement? If it is going to be user replaceable, will the battery be a custom design for the amp or an off-the-shelf item? And, as another poster has already asked...

Hey everyone. Many thanks for the replies. Ok. I guess I've stumbled into a common newbie trap of not realising that when talking about can such as the K701's, HD650's, DT880's, etc., they are all very good and that they substantially differ from cheaper headphones. So, the bass on the HD650's...
