Checked the shipping page, and there's my name! Wooo-hoooo! Ohhh yah, ohhh yah (swinging fists in the air, dissolving into embarrassing dance). I would actually yell out but it's 3:18 AM and I would definitely wake my roomate. You know what, screw him.

I see two Evans listed there. I ordered a Compass. I hope I'm not getting a C2C as well! Actually, I don't remember paying twice, so if they want to send it to me...
Upon further inspection, it looks like there are quite a few Evans in this shipment. Weird... not exactly a common name. Hey other Evans! So that C2C is probably not coming to me. Especially since they usually list both items together if you order more than one.

EDIT - As usual my good friend Dro always makes better sense than I do, I forgot to say you cant delete the post unless the Mods agree, but you can edit it and remove the contents - Thanks Dro !..

You can't delete your posts. You can ask the mods to delete your post, but I think they rarely do. The best option is to edit one of your posts and delete the contents of it. That way it isn't very conspicuous.
(Double posts simply happen and can happen to anyone. Although the 'quick reply' option is apparently the main source of them.)

EDIT: Of course I could just let Sandchak do all the 'Compass customer service' today.

Thanks for the advice! Haha, double posts "can happen to anyone"... sounds like a terrible disease.

Well, you seemed very upset about it.

Did anyone get an similar query ? Just curious... Anyway, I replied saying its fine. I got that email on monday, which made me think mine will be shipped on Tuesday..but seems like there was no batch shipped on Tuesday...so hopefully tomorrow !

I ordered the power cable along with the Sun and Moon and it came in one package, including the stock power cable. The shippers must be sticklers since the stock power cord only weighs a couple ounces.

Had to clear the catche....

I'm not on the list.

Maybe he sent it out in batches... hopefully I'll be in the 240V batch. What I'm scared of right now is maybe he's hasn't received/ known I've paid. He's confirmed I've paid... but... I'm being paranoid.

If he confirmed by e-mail i don't see why he isn't received it, just chill.

 

[ExtraNice]

I know i should.

I'm just a pretty paranoid guy. And since this the first time I used Paypal, I don't know how effective the system is.

ASIO4ALL does improve onboard sound card quality because it bypasses the kmixer. PM me if you run into any trouble.

Has anybody compared the CanAmp to the Compass using K701?

No, not to my knowledge.

A digital signal from your Marantz player will have to be decoded by a DAC before it can be amplified by the headphone amp. So that means that you will either use an analog connection between the cd player and the Compass and let the DAC of the cd player do the DA conversion, or you could send the digital output of your cd player (either optical or coaxial) to the Compass DAC and let that DAC do the DA conversion.

Yes, you can simply connect the digital output (coaxial or optical) from your cd player to the Compass DAC. Whether that's an improvement on the analog output of your cd player is hard to say beforehand, because no one has made that particular comparison yet.

Yes, that is correct. Only the DAC of the Compass uses the OPAs, they wouldn't be necessary if you would go straight to the Compass amp and use only that. However, if you feel that you only need a headphone amp and not a DAC, it would be better to spend your money simply on a good amp.

As far as I know that is not correct. Although the Grado family originally comes from Italy, the way they pronounce their surname has been "Americanized", so it is actually pronounced with an "a" as in "ape" (and a stress on the first syllable).
