Do you have rmma pro?

 
Nope - but I have sound-card with outputs and inputs - so I just need to work out how to configure it when I get the time.

First thing is how hot was your oven? The best pizza is always cooked quickly in the oven at high high heat. Home ovens only go up to around 500 degrees. Some brick oven go super high like 800+
 
If you don't want soggy pizzas, you need to use a pizza stone (preheated in the oven for 1 hour+ at the highest possible heat - ~500 at home). The cheese should definitely dry out and not be watery at these temps.

After having some time with the new ALO Rx IEM amp I feel I've got a handle on what it brings, and since most of the people in The Lab use IEMs I thought I'd share some brief (not new toy) impressions.

First of all, like they mention on ALO's site, this portable amp is really not meant at all for full sized headphones. Sure, I can get some volume out of it but the sound is hollow with no dynamics using full sized cans. Terrible.

With that out of the way I can say the Rx is a dream with my IEM. Compared to the HO of my X5 it has more attack/leading edge on bass hits and piano keys. There is no boosting of frequencies, just more speed, more oomph, more dynamics, more extension in both directions, and more clarity. The decay is natural and the soundstage is wide. The detail and layers are all there and I'm not missing anything in the recording. I like ALO's overall tuning in general, but this little unit is something very special for IEMs. It sounds very appealing to me, more than most everything I've heard.

I would say the amp is transparent to the source but adds a level of soundstage and dynamics that are a joy to listen to. The Rx takes the source and adds that awesome sauce that is so hard to describe. I highly recommend it if you can grab one. I haven't touched any of my other gear since picking it up except to compare. Even when sitting next to my desktop DAC/amp and planar headphones. I like it a lot.

Edit: Yes, volume matched as best I could.

  Just sharing some thoughts with you guys.
 
I just can't decide between a portable  DAC/AMP like E18, D0 MKII, Oppo HA-2 and a DAP since my budget is limited and i would like something to substitute my fiio E10 at home and accompany me on the go since it's where i most do my listening. But the problem is that with a DAP, i may just miss a call or would just be a pain to take out my headphones to answer my phone. so here are some thoughts: wouldn't be nice if the newer DAPs have some kind of Bluetooth connection to cellphones just to answer calls? Or listening to that netflix movie on a full size headphone on bed? What do you guys think?
 
Cheers! 

 
Perhaps you could give the Calyx PaT a try? It runs off your phone. http://www.head-fi.org/t/770242/calyx-pat-the-99-pocket-sized-dac-amp-for-ios-android-and-computers

Thanks for the advice, I did crank my oven all the way up. Maybe my pizza stone wasn't heated up all the way.

First things first, welcome to the Lab friend!

Second, your theory on pizza is true, but only IF we're talking thin crust pizza. In my neck of the woods deep dish pizza is very popular, but it won't cook completely unless you lower the heat a little.

If you're ever in the Chicago area, look me up brotha, I'll take you for some deep dish pizza that's out of this world.

DEEP DISH I am an east coast guy Thin crust all the way, no one does pizza like NJ.
