None has been mentioned but I would not expect it to be significantly cheaper than the current dac-less Pico judging by the technology that seems to be going into it.

The cost suppositions above aren't necessarily so. Look at the Xin's. His main "full-sized" models sold for $350..........but his Supermini sold for $200. The Supermini is comparable in size to the Pico Slim. If I didn't already have my fully updated Supermini IV - then I would HAVE to HAVE a Pico Slim (though do use a Pico amp/dac velcro-ed to 30gig iMod), sometimes with RS-1. My 1st gen Nano lives with the Supermini (and Klipsch x10). Today if I found something comparable to that first Nano or better - then it would need to be paired with a Pico Slim........these amps make for truly pocketable setups.

I am still pretty sure the pico slim will cost more than the amp only pico. It's a much more complicated build, with a higher parts cost, more expensive extrusion, and the main feature is that amazing volume control. I still want something like that on a full sized balanced preamp/headphone amp.
