It might be interesting to compare how well the Ayre Codex does at handling poor USB versus the Chord 2Qute, which is supposed to provide galvanic isolation too...

But who has a 2Qute?

I think we also had a 2Qute dropped off at the shop today, I think as a relatively permanent resident.

I've always wanted to hear a DAC from Cord.

Lost in the music...
 
It is a good DAC to have around for the long term, I think! The adaptor for A/B comparison on speakers is in the mail. So I too am looking forward to the listening on speakers tomorrow!

Are we still on the noon? No traffic chaos for people?

I'm headed over soon to set up. Noon it is.

I should be there slightly after noon. Thanks for setting up. Who else will be there? Plan is to still have the Spring, the Yiggy, Codex, and 2Qute???

See you around 12:40

bummed I can't make it today - too much to do and the 4+ hour round trip ride would have killed my chances of finishing my shopping. Hope to live vicariously through all the impressions.

Thank you @willsw for hosting. I expect that I'll be sending a lot more "thank you for hosting"s as time goes on.

 

[yage]

Damn, I missed a stollen?!?


Sigh...

Thanks to all for what was a great and informative afternoon. Lots of amazing equipment in one place.
