Ed,
You forgot the Apple keyboard USB cables. They are a 6th type.

Now post pics of their circuitry, for full measure.

Huh? How are they different, other than being encased in white plastic?

Thanks for the superb pictures. The glossy paint job on the Pico looks much nicer than the brushed/anodised Predator. The Pico also has a nicer knob but the Predator's arse is more attractive. I'm not a great fan of the Pico's squarish power jack. And since we're on the topic of looks, I quite like the Tomahawk's smaller feet.

It lessens the chance of the DC plug shorting to the case so there's a good reason to use it. This can happen with plugs that carry the + on the center pin (as both of these do). It looks like Ray provided good clearance around his jack so I doubt it'll be a problem with the Predator but I've had that issue with other portables before that used a the round jack/round hole setup.

If you include the rear screws which protrude past the end of the Pico case is it still shorter than the Predator? I prefer the back of the Predator too with the flat phillips screws with zero protrusion but do feel the Pico paint job is a nicer finish. I wonder, however, what will wear better over time. My 8 month old anodized green Tomahawk still looks brand new.

Ok, its nice for everyone to have eye-gasms over the amps.....but i want to know which amp provides the biggest ear-gasm???!!!

Dac to dac,and amp to amp.....whats the difference in sound????

Theyre both cute and pretty and tiny and so similiar in layout etc.

You know they were made for direct competition,because the chances of two main amp makers making very similar products at the same time is like the chances of throwing 1000 golf balls on your front lawn and having it spell "Head-Fi" !!!

So i say,"Let the competition begin!!!"

Also, I believe Rays amp is LifeTime Gauranteed. How long is Justins amp Gauranteed for?

Reviews!!!

Could you be thinking about the Supermacro IV with its round hole plug? I had one once but Dr. Xin was gracious enough to return my money.

The Xin Reference (beta) that I have sounds beautiful and with it's battery power never has that issue.

The Pico enclosure is anodized, not painted
