I never quite articulated that thought until I read your post TJ, but that is my feeling exactly!

So at this point I think that it's safe to claim that Pico is not FOTM.

FOTY?

Sorry, FOTM, FOTY? Not up on my acronyms

Thanks for the clarification...who knows? definitely not FOTM. Anything having to do with technology could certainly be the FOTY, I guess....

Hi,

Yes, basic protection against over-discharge (and dangerous over-charge) is included in all Li-Ion/Li-Poly battery packs.

But a feature unique to the Pico, for high end USB DAC/Amps, is proper charging of the battery for longevity and safety.

Optical input would be a different design, requiring the DAC to be powered from a battery instead of the USB port. For top DAC chips this takes considerable power, so the battery would need much more capacity than the Pico's (about 10x as much) to get a good battery life.

Pico owners, can I get some help here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f105/p...9/#post4607881

Thanks!

Just got mine. Currently have it set up in my main rig plating a 45RPM cut of Metallica's Master of Puppets.

Does it need running in?

 

[starscream]

should I expect to receive an email response from Justin? I emailed him and placed a pre-order on this thread a few days back, and don't know whether to expect a response or not?

Justin periodically checks the thread for new orders. He'll write it down, don't worry

If he does somehow miss it, you do have it posted so he could just slot you in too eh?

 

[Zerachiel]

Justin, I was wondering if I may cancel my pico at this point, if possible, please cancel it.

 

[justin w.]

Nearly all Pico's up to #500 have now been shipped -- the few that are still being worked on will go out very soon. This means #501-600 will be worked on next. If you are in this group and haven't sent in payment yet, please send me an email or PM
