My Pico came today!!!

[noremedy]

I must say, i still am failing miserably to get my head around just how small it is! its incredible!

It goes without saying, that is sounds incredible: Apple Lossless BT 1618 > Imod > ALO LOD > Pico > SE530's sounds truely amazing.

I will post up some pictures later. But my year of waiting to complete my first rig is over!

One gripe: Justin didn't include the UK power plug as promised, but I don't care i will just buy an adaptor. One question does it charge while plugged in via USB? As i have not used the DAC yet.

 

[dazzer1975]

no doesnt charge while using via usb, but it doesnt use battery power while in usb mode.

as for the 3 pin adaptor, thats all ya need, literally just a normal us 2 pin to uk 3 pin adaptor and your good to go.

p.s. get the vcap dock too, when you hear it with ya imod you will understand when I say your rig isn't finished yet.

x2 on the vcap dock!

 

[noremedy]

Yes of course, but i need to save up first

Being 16 does not help my ability to buy things quickly!

 

[dazzer1975]

pm steven kelby, he makes the vcap dock aswell as obviously alo.

Only DAC is powered by USB, amp is always using battery.

Probably a misunderstanding, the DC Adapter will work in the UK (on 230V), but it has a North American 2-pin plug on it. I don't have plug adapters for each country that I can send. It does not charge by USB

Congrats! I've had mine for over 8 months and I still marvel at its tiny beauty and excellent sound.

Great. What a way to start out. You have a beautiful piece of equipment there. Good listening!

Yeah, obviously. Its not a problem having to buy an adaptor, except so far the one i found at a local store won't do the job as it has a circular raised edging around the plug part, so the bulk of the charger wouldn't fit in

Going to go down the market today and try my luck there.
