sorry about that

the database server has been overwhelmed with traffic lately i think. i will have to check with the admins to find out what is wrong

thanks for posting the link, the powerpak is a nice solution for a quick fix but there are some very slight noise issues with it as you can find out in the review

For a similar unit with higher quality sound (not portable though...), you might want to take a look at this thread:

It's not that hard to put together something like this, if you need a good USB DAC/headphone amp.

Hi Wodgy

Wow that looks fantastic! Very nice, I like the clear arcylic (?) case

Yeah I agree there are much better devices out there than the PowerPak, but it's a very nice unit for it's small size. I think it's a little expensive though as you can probably invest in a Porta Corda or something similar as well (though it's not a "USB amp").

something along the lines of this may be useful for those pursuing a usb route or those wishing to connect an amp to a PC.. hadn't seen anything like it before:

Since this has turned into a USB->headphone thread, I thought I'd remind everyone about the one I'm (eventually) getting:
