Asr,
Congrats on a spectacular review
How would you compare the Line out of the iAudio X5 compared to the DAC on the Pico ?
I am really tempted to know if the Pico is better, and if so by what and how much.
Sorry to hear that you sold it BTW

The Pico's DAC has been compared favorably with other DAC's in around the $700-1000 range, do you honestly think an iAudio X5 is going to best it????

In case you forgot what your wrote, reread it quoted above, you didn't simply ask how much better the Pico's DAC would be, the bolded parts with the use of the word if imply you think the X5 might be equal to or better than the Pico.

elnero,
You are acting priggish.
What I wrote was just a way of putting things.
And for that matter, I don't automatically decide that the Pico's DAC is better, just because some people ran and compared it to a 700$ DAC.
There is a lot of hype on that product, just like every FOTM here and I am just trying to set things apart between people's excitement and the actual improvement the product might bring.

I'm not acting like anything, you wrote what you wrote and I was honestly surprised given the amount of info available over the past half year that anyone would even think it. Of course you're entitled to believe whatever you want though, it makes not an ounce of difference to me.

It would be interesting to know why he removed it. Did his opinion change. Did a new amp/dac combo outshine the Pico. Or was it a Moderator decision? ASR - any comments?
By the way, silly me missed the initial review. if someone would be kind enough to post a link to it so that I can rectify my stupidity I would appreciate it.

I think its related to one of those predator hissing threads, where he said that it will be his last post. Didn't think he'd also remove his reviews.
