I will probably get the venturecraft lightning cable if i ever go lightning.
Until then its probably easier just to buy a another ipod touch 4G, sonically i doubt theres much difference if any when using via usb with the hifim8.

 
I'm debating my next iPod Touch choice too.  My spidey senses tell me that higher bit rate support will come with IOS7 and others going forward.  But sadly the 4th gen iPod won't run it.  Apple's refurb center has great deals on the 4th gens, but if Apple does go 24/96, I fear those Touches won't benefit.
 
Pure speculation though

I wonder If QUSP is doing lightning cables, I like the lo-profile USB-LOD he made for for me.
 

can some post a pic of this cable.
I presume it can be used for ipod to M8????
I am interested... can someone PM me the price ...
 
Sorry for the OT...

If you are interested please PM head-fier QUSP for more details (including price).
 
It can be used for ipod to Hifi-m8 but may need to be slightly longer. The usb-lod that will come with the Hifi-m8 is good quality though.

I think I pick the non lx one. The one with usb. Also 4pin xlr and a regular 1/4

 
The LX M8 has USB input as well.

just a quick question, is there any feature i am missing if i choose to use USB instead of Optical input? I have both output on my PC.

 
No feature, per se, that I know of.  They're both 24/192 data resolution to the DAC.  S/PDIF is generally touted over the USB port as the better quality digital input data, however, asynchronous or no. Try them both and see which is the preferable sound for you with your setup, assuming that you can discern a difference.

I asked a similar question in post #2362 a few days ago, and Mr. Goodman was kind enough to reply.

Hey Michael...Maybe the battery meter is going to be like the gas gauge on my car?  Took me a while to learn that the when the level is over 50% the gauge drops slower, and when the level is below 50% it drops faster.  I also had a Cadillac at one time that always seemed to be at less than 1/4 tank whenever it got near a gas station.  

Yes, it may be like your Cadillac We are measuring the discharge profile now, hopefully it will be relatively linear, but I agree, this tweakmanship may be going a bit to far...

tjcheong - thank you for these photos!  They really show the size and scale well.  It is very slightly bigger than I gathered from other shots.  For my use, not an issue at all, in fact kind of welcome, as the cables won't push it around.  It looks to have enough volume and mass to hold its own.  Thank you again - very nice photos!

Mr. Goodman,

Will we be contacted again before shipment incase we want to revise the original configuration?

We are locking things in next week if we haven't done so already and Stacie will be in touch with everyone who is getting a unit.

Hi, was looking at this thread but could not find an answer.
 
Is the max power 1.5W @ 50ohm? 
Is that the case for both balanced and unbalanced?

Definitely waiting for impressions on the final product. If the general opinion is that it SQ is a clear winner/on par with the DACmini I'll be pretty sad cause I just got it. I'll just console myself by saying I need RCA inputs/outputs more than a battery to make it portable.
