Cool. Thumbs up to Justin. Seems that the waiting queues for the picos experienced in the past are no more. Based on the service you got slwiser, hopefully I will be receiving my pico DAC in a months time from now. Can't wait

My Pico arrived today! I was anxious to examine the Pico so as I opened the shipping box I saw a large white box. I thought to myself that must be the Pico. I opened white box and I was shocked to see it was the wallwart. After digging deeper into the box and under more packing material I saw this tiny black box. As many before me have said, and now I must concur, the Pico is so ridiculously small for such amazing sound!

My biggest problem I have with the Pico is I brought it into work today and I find myself in a trance listening…. instead of working. I’m sure I will come out of it eventually!

FWIW my initial impression is the Pico is quite the feat of engineering marvel. Great job Justin.

Oh dear, I ordered mine via PM on Feb. 11, received confirmation and was told a request for payment would soon follow. It never did, and now it looks like my order was lost/overlooked

And that picture of 60 Picos and Justin's updates from a few days back got me all excited.

Hi Justin,

I made my PICO USB/DAC order by google checkout on 1st March 2009. I would like to change the colour to ORANGE (if not available, then black is good - whichever is faster for delivery). I will pay the $20 extra to your paypal account when I receive you shipping notice. I would also like to buy a spare battery from you, but don't know how much extra needs to be added?

thanks again,

So, you like?

Yes it is tiny and cute. If Justin offered a Dark Purple color I think I might have to buy mine a new brother...maybe just the amp version.

Edwood did a nice rendering of the Pico USB DAC - this is the upcoming version that is only a USB DAC, with RCA and mini line outs. There will be no change to the Pico DAC/Amp and Pico Amp. I'll have a new thread on the Pico USB DAC in about a week. The enclosures are being completed now and they'll be ready in about 4 weeks

Got mine today. Damn, no matter how many people say it's tiny, you just don't get it till you see it. Crazy small!

Mine does not sound right though... :S
Music does not sound like music...pretty sure I plugged it in right :p

Problem with the computer...works great on my laptop.
Laptop is Vista, Computer is Xp
Still not working on my computer...all the sound is distorted and garbled. Very confused.

Alright. Damn. It's so silent...beautiful...worth every penny and the massive wait :p

Ordered May 22nd 2008
Received March 5 2009

Thanks Justin!

Now just to get it working on my main computer...
