Wow - you just brought my attention to the SR-71b. It is nothing less than an epic speech written on the RSA website. It has to be good to live up to that. 

It's a very epic speech - i love ray's products but seeing how expensive the protector is, the sr71b could be over $500. I'd be hard pressed to buy one unless it's head and shoulder's above the toucan, which some people seem to think beats out the protector for half the price

Can Stepdance drive T1 well too?

It does an admirable job for a portable, but still, the T1 really needs a good desktop amp.

Hello Skylab I ordered a Stepdance today how do you feel it compares to the Lisa 3

 

[Skylab]

I will get the new Lisa III "mini" to review soon and will be able to compare the two directly.

Skylab,
 
Just had to give you another thx for your review(s).  I also marvel that after 14,292 posts your Avatar's teeth remain so white!  This is yet another benefit of a great portable... you can brush your teeth and enjoy your music too.  ha
 
Leaning toward the 3Move here.

Hey Rob,
Have you ever heard the T1 powered by the Centrance DacPort?  Best portable solution for the T1 I've ever heard.  Superb sound!

 

[Skylab]

I haven't ever heard the DacPort. I was quite interested in it until I saw it would not work off the USB connection from my iPad. That's good to know it drives the T1 well though!

Yeah, it's an amazing device.  It actually creates 18v rails from the 5v USB power, and it's biased class A to boot, so it gets good 'n' warm while running.  I haven't looked, but I would imagine the power consumption is up there, near the limits of USB spec.
 

 

[Skylab]

Right, which the iPad is definitely not capable of. But you've intrigued me!

Hi, How about looking at the Toucan, which is the only one within my price range, please?

Hi - at this point I doubt that will happen. My last few requests for a review loaner from iBasso went unanswered, and I have no interest in buying a Toucan. Sorry.

Rob, shoot me a PM if interested. I could include it with the HLLY SMK-III. Cheers.
