Can't wait for Ray's pre-order thread. Hope I can get my hands on it before Xmas.

and again, what's a balanced source for this?  maybe some device that connect to like a solo? 
 
if the source is an ipod, then
 
ipod ---> solo ---> ?? --->  sr71b ---> headphone/iem? 
 
edit:  i know there's no such thing yet, maybe someday?  of course, solo has to be out first...

 

[kayser]

ipod ---> solo ---> iBasso DB1 Boomslang ---> sr71b ---> headphone/iem
 
That's what I call portable

I think with 4 units stacked, can we consider this as portable anymore? 
more like desktop setup....

deleted post.

 

[Audio Addict]

deleted as it wasn't a balance unit.  Sorry.

 

[BebopMcJiggy]

That appears to be single ended analog output only... 
 
nm you removed your post :O

As everyone knows, there are many, many balanced home sources and one portable with more on the way. There will be plenty of options. I continue to find that the balanced connecter Ray uses holds up great. For me it has taken a lot of abuse and shows zero ill effect.

I did since it wasn't a balance source and that was what the thread was about.  I didn't mean to distract.  I was just excited to see another product be able to take the digital out from the Apple products.

It can be much more useful with a usb (async?) dac. I wonder how many of us would be able to use it with balanced dac/ cdp.

 

[jamato8]

There are some nice portable USB dacs coming out and I hear great benefits when going from a single ended dac to a balanced amp. It's all good.
