Can't attend, as I will be in another time zone. Will follow this thread for posts from those who can make it.

 

[chandleryesfriends]

Can’t wait.

 

[chandleryesfriends]

Also, if you want to try your headphones with the simaudio moon 230 had, you have to have a 1/8 inch adapter.

 

[cdf294]

I will also see about bringing my Apogee Duet 2, a Garage1217 Project Polaris, and an iBasso DX120.
