According to the tracking info, my Pico made it to my local Post Office at 4:43am. Looks like it just might make it through the sorting and make it to my mailbox today.

Can anyone compare Pico to a Corda Aria or Cantante?

To my taste... Pico crushes an Aria its not even a contest. It's basically better in every area. I haven't heard the Cantate but personally I like the pico better than the Opera which I have heard. It's certainly a superior DAC though amp-wise it might be a bit more toss up.

Then again I am not really a big fan of the Jan Meier sound in general which I find thin and fuzzy.

P.S. I just picked up my unit. Poor shipping department people having to work even a little bit of Christmas Eve. Sadly my work laptop won't let me install it without admin rights and that's all I brought to my parents' place for Christmas Eve. Amp only for now!

If you're in the Top 100 of the pre-order list, and I haven't received your payment yet, please contact me about it because your Pico will be shipping this week

If you are 101-170+ it will be ready to ship next week

Pico Pre-Order List

Please add me to the list.
Black Pico w/DAC and 1ft & 3ft USB cables.

Merry Christmas!

It is 2" x 2.74" x 0.86", front panel included, but not the knob

Justin,
Do you have any pictures of the different colors yet?

What? You can't even use a generic USB audio device without admin rights?

There is also gray, here is an example of an AE-2 with a gray body/knob and clear (silver) panels: http://www.headamp.com/ae2_gray.jpg I will be including a USB cable of 1, 3, or 6ft. Additional cables can be purchased for $8 each I hope to keep regular pricing for the Pico w/ USB DAC the same as pre-order pricing. It will depend on my final costs, which I won't know until I've shipped a good number of them. But it is already clear to me that I will have to raise the price of the Pico amp-only version after the pre-order period.

Justin responded to the question about colors when I asked it several pages ago. See the links above...

I saw that, but I was asking if he's got any pictures of the different colors of the Pico because he says they look a little different with the glossy finish.

Sorry to presume that you didn't see that post. I would like to see pictures of the Pico line in different colors as well. The more pictures the better. I have a feeling that Justin's pretty busy though...
