Are you offering or asking?
Either way! I don't have a car, but I could rent a Zipcar and split the cost with you. The Zipcar is $73 for a day, which includes gas.

I know right?! There was a dude @ Pike Place market selling t-shirts with this on it and I almost got one but didn't...never seen him againawesome avatar
muziqboy and soundsgoodtome, I'll have warm Yggy in tow as usual. Plan to do my basic no tweak setup near you, do some baseline listening, then will be thrilled to tap into Rednet/Dante as you've suggested. I can bring some coaxes, a couple are 5 feet, most are BNC. Looks like Rednet 3 outputs through RCA. I've got some adaptors too.
Andrew, want me to bring that battery usb cable you asked about? (Probably destined for the scrapheap now)
It's almost time! The room is looking good; the location of it even better.
Also just secured 3 x 16 port APC pdu-style power strips.
I'm ready!
Should be the first meet anywhere in Head-Fi land with RedNets incorporated in the rigs!
So the good news bad news, from my phone call to Focusrite and having a chat with their Rednet specialist: The good news is the Rednet 3 is capable of outputting to multiple DACs and I've confirmed this to be possible but only via AES/EBU breakout cable (Tascam format not Yamaha). The output signal on the optical is not your standard spdif optical but adat optical widely used in pro sound. Unfortunately our DACs are incompatible with only 2ch optical spdif. ADAT is capable of carrying multiple channel signals over optical where as spdif is your standard 2ch; in short the Rednet 3 can't output to our DACs via optical without some kind of conversion from ADAT to SPDIF -- which I'm not sure exists. I'm sure it does but having it in the chain will probably defeat the purpose. So unless you're using a DAC that takes ADAT via optical input, the R3 can not send a signal to your DAC.
So awesome... I'm hoping we can attach several DACs and amps simultaneously and be able to do some quick A/B with different headsets while the same reference audio stream plays. I'll bring my TOSlink cable.
discombob, is wi-fi going to be available?
Thanks!
