The power and data pins on a usb connector are two different things, therefore data is not effected by the length of the cable.

I do like my phones (currently connected to shabby line out on Macbook Pro), but it still feels as if the music is being played in my head, instead of in front of me. Will an amp like the Pico be able to solve that?

If you want crossfeed and an out-of-head experience, try SRS iWOW plug-in for Mac iTunes. The defaults are excessive, but it can be customized to provide much more subtile effects. SRS iWOW 2.0.2.255 - MacUpdate

Just got my Pico, and it is absolutely wonderful.

Compared to my CEC HD 53R, I have to say the Pico doesn't exactly stand up to a home-amp especially in the bass department, but the DAC sure is something. It annihilates every single line-out I have, including my DCP-150 and various PCDPs/DAPs.

I'm just a little mad at myself because I let the bottom plate scratch

It is Audio Stream Input/Output emulation software for low latency (like what you would need for singing through a mic and hearing yourself through speakers nearly instantaneously). It bypasses the windows audio mixing kernel (Kmixer) and therefore helps increase the sound quality.

Google it.

Thank you very much.

how does the pico compared to the other amps you have with the imod?

 

[tennisplyr3]

I was contemplating getting one of these. I currently use HD650s the Corda Move as an amp, which I thoroughly enjoy for the bass impact and quality as well as the warmness of the overall sound. I was wondering if I would lose the base impact and quality if I were to get the Pico. I understand that people are saying that the Pico has a very lush sound, but I'm just concerned about losing the "punchiness" of the bass. Any thoughts?

 

[mchang]

Skylab has reviewed both in his portable amp thread. I know he has the Pico ranked higher overall than Move, but I don't recall his bass assessment. IMO I'd you're happy with Move, I'd stick with it. It didn't seem like there was a world of sound quality difference between these two amps.
