It's weird, on 8/19/07 I was the newbie buying your Tomahawk as my first amp my first week here at head-fi, and now I'm the teacher

At the same time - between 8/19/07 and 8/23/07 - I bought the PenguinAmp Royal, iBasso D1 DAC/amp, 2 LOD, HD600, PX100, HFI-700DVD and Shure E500 - Yikes, that is scary! $1250 in 5 days.

Oh My - on 8/25/07 I bought CX300 and then the next day a JSEABER cmoy bass boost and PMX100, then Vintage Sony D-5 for $200 the day after that, and iRiver H120 the day after that, then I bought a second iRiver and Sony D-25s the day after that, and the day after that I got another vintage D-50, then an ALO cryo LOD and Sony D-NE20 optical out PCDP the day after that, and three days later bought new Super.fi 5 Pro. Another $1250 in just a few days.

It's all your fault because you were my first pusher, errr... I mean seller. I must have gone nutz that whole 2 weeks back then, huh? Oh wait, I'm out $25,000 since Aug 2007. Man, you owe me...

If you link one cap+a second cap, filtration result 'll be less than the lower cap in your system, so sound won't be Good with a lake of some frequencies.

One thing i noticed they never mention the Specs of the DAC's built into portable amps.


for example ZERO is 24bit/192khz.

but how about these amps?

It is assumed that any USB DAC is 16/48 max native input (except for DAC1 which can do 24/96 via USB with ASIO4ALL).

More images with my favorite small digital camera case that works out perfect with an iRiver H120 or 140 and the Predator.

Jam, now you need to upgrade the phone! I have a Verizon Cherry Chocolate with extended battery I'll sell you.

For you?








Even trade, T4 for Chocolate, and I'll throw in a case, a USB data cable, 1Gb microDS, wall charger, and adapter plug to use wired headphones instead of A2DP bluetooth (or I can throw in Bluetooth stereo phones too).

Yes, the case works great. Just enough padding for protection but still small enough to be out of the way.

I would not want to deprive you of your phone. I would feel very bad.

I am using the UM2's with the Predator, that I am leaving on, and I must say the sound is much better with the 2's than in the past. The highs are nice and there is a decent bass foundation. The low gain position allows for volume control travel that does not hit you all at once with too much. Very nice.

If anyone has any experience of this combo I welcome your thoughts.



What about the D5000s? I'm eyeing a D5000/Preddie combi for my Macbook Pro. Will that work well?

Actually, I upgraded to an LG9400 with wireless TV, so the Cherry Chocolate is not being used...
