After 200 hours burn-in,I compared Pico with Xin SuperMacro4(latest mod,maxed out version;L&R OPA627BP 3rd&4th NJM4556AD),TTVJ Millett Hybrid,Hornet(M).

My rig was iMod(4G,Apple lossless)>DIY mini-mini>Amp>ATH-W5000,ATH-ESW9

Sound stage:Xin SM4>Pico>TTVJ>>Hornet
The sound stage of SM4 is huge as if surrounding system,Pico is slightly narrow.

Transparency:Xin SM4=Pico>TTVJ>Hornet

Bass:Xin SM4>Hornet>TTVJ>Pico
Bass of Pico is too tight. I felt Pico need more burn-in.

Treble:Xin SM4>=Pico>TTVJ>Hornet
Treble of Pico is slightly mellow than SM4.

Sorry,bad English.

I am using the Pico right now and can someone see if i'm using Pico with foobar the right way?

It says that it's unavailable, but the music and sounds are working through my Pico..

Thank you

That is what I am worried about as well before I place my order.

So strange about your set up, as you must use specific dock cable to enjoy the advantages from the modifications in iMod, why you use mini-mini cable? This makes the modification in iMod is ruined, and the sound wouldn't be better than a 4G iPod with general dock cable output. Any thing I missed?

I can't quite remember, my family paid for it and I believe it was around $20-30. This was by postal (and thank goodness).

Sorry to hijack this thread for two secs, but:

Assorted,

I wonder if you received my PM's, as I thought we should have got in touch, while I'm not receiving any pm's or emails from you.

Checking emails right away! Thank you!

[antonyfirst]

I've replied too. You can give me the email address you use more often, so we can keep our conversation there.

Thats strange..it should be highlighted green (aka running). If you can change the volume through the windows controls its not working properly for Asio

I cannot change the volume through windows controls, so i guess that's a good thing..

By the way: does the pico (usb) shows difference in SQ when the ac adaptor also is connected?

My computer shows the same thing. When Foobar is closed Asio4all says that it's running, but when I use Foobar it says it's unvailable and the volume can't be changed so I guess it's working.


EDIT:: Wait I just switched to DS and it is noticibly softer, not as loud as asio, so I guess asio is working.

 

[Dorito123]

It should say unavailable when you are using the Dac and it should be running when you are not using it. I think. That control panel is for off-line settings.

 

[jterp7]

eh? when mine is in use it goes from green to female symbol..

 

[Dorito123]

Mine used to do that till I updated my ASIO, there is a new version out.
