For stand alone headphone use no big deal but when you have a rack of high end gear and oversize AC cords it become a hassle with cable routing and length. Same beef but to a lesser extent with interconnect routing again being on reverse side of box as normal. I suppose it has to do with circuit layout but would have been nice to consider that from the very begining of design to be easier to use with other brands of audio gear |

Don't know how much truth there is to it but for those of you holding your guns waiting for a price drop just a heads up. I jumped mine and oh my wallet so hates me now. |

That you can interconnect the balanced analog to balanced integrated/preamp inputs, or unbalanced to unbalanced (but that balanced is "marginally" better). Anyone tried this? (he raves about the 840C as a transport). |
