I did a search on this thread and came up empty, but can anyone confirm that the Pico DAC (not DAC/amp) is able to draw enough current to run off the iPad + camera kit?
 
Thinking of going from Pico DAC/amp to Pico DAC and Pico Slim (may prefer the Slims over Picos amp).

I listened to that exact set-up at CanJam, and it was good enough to convince me to buy an iPad immediately thereafter.  Too bad my Camera Kit is on back-order until September...

Thanks for the response Sky.
 
Those camera kits have at least dropped from +$100 on eBay.

New firmware is available today for both iPhone and iPad.

Any idea what it does- the firmware update?

mainly i think it just fixes the Wifi issues it had. Apparently the iPad had some DHCP issues where it would keep its IP even after the lease was up rather than renew it. didnt bother me since i use static IP's on my wireless

I think that the wifi issue was just with certain non-Apple, dual band, routers.

The wifi problem affected using the ipad with my my cable modem. I would have to turn wifi off then on again every once in a while to fix a freeze. The update seems to have fixed it.

Anyone have the yellow tint issue on the right half side of the screen (when held vertically)?

Hey all:
 
My camera kit arrived, and I connected the iPad to a USB DAC - and the DAC is seeing the input as active - but I am getting no sound - the sound is still coming out of the iPad speaker.  I cannot for the life of me find any setting to alter this.  Any hits/tips?
 
TIA!

There is a pretty thorough thread here that IIRC said that not all DACs are compatible:

Yeah - looks like I have struck out twice.  The iQube V2 definitely won't work - the iPad reports an error, saying it wants too much power.  And the Yulong D100 doesn't seem to work either.  Rats.  I will have to hook my Music Hall back up and see if it will...

You may want to try to reboot the iPad.  I have that happen on occasion with my uDac and a reboot seems to solve the problem.

Thank you for the suggestion!  Unfortunately that did not seem to help

The iPad-->Camera Connection Kit-->HM-801 (as USB DAC/amp)-->beyerdynamic T5p is an outstanding messenger-bag-totable rig.  A photo of this rig can be seen at the following link:
 
An Outstanding (not-so-portable) Portable Rig
 
(I'll be posting more about the HM-801 and the T5p, separately, in the next few days.)
 
Now this is a great rig to take to the coffee house, especially if you were going to mostly be using your iPad anyway.  I've been using the iPad in place of a laptop for some things lately, so this setup is (and sounds) fantastic.
