PICO..where to get it & how much?

[Nocturnal310]

Hi guys,

a friend of mine stopped me in time when i was about to buy XMOD...my expectations & hunger are growing and no more can average DAC satisfy me.

I am going to upgrade to HD555 or HD595 soon & need a good DAC & Amps.


Can u suggest smthg for beginner level audiophile?

I dunno if the Pico is loud enough for you though...

Well, you obviously did not follow my link and read its content then.

Pricing for the Pico is $329 as a headphone amp only, or $499 with the optional 24/96 USB DAC, plus shipping.

Pre-order one, or post a WTB thread. Worked for me.

There is also the Predator by RSA. There are many posts on the iBasso D2 Boa, Predator and Pico on this forum. There are many opinions but they all appear to be very good amps I guess it is a decision that can be made after reading some of the opinions.

I hope you used the time you saved omitting those vowels wisely.

i love you. have my babies.


on a related note, with the price of a pico, you might as well get a home amp, but hey that's just my arse talking.

I got a feeling that we're going to see a thread along the line of "home vs portable amp".

The reason why I'm getting a Pico is because of it's DAC, not it's amp

 

[Nocturnal310]

A friend strongly recommended to checkout Pico...hence i asked u guys.

hmm at $400+ they are easily out of my budget.

My budget is $200.'

but thanks anyway for the quick response

You're most welcome!
Sure hope you find another amplifier that fit within your budget.
