I barely have time for the holidays during holiday season so I probably wouldn't make the meet.

Man it's been quiet in here. Anyone out there still alive?

 

[Armaegis]

I'm still around. Life's just been hectic lately, and I'll be out of town for a couple weeks soon.

We got one living soul so far, anybody else out there still breathing???

I'm still here, though I tend to pretty much only log into hf to check this thread.  The other headphone forum, whose name is not allowed to be typed here (in all seriousness), is where I spend most of my time.
 
I haven't made that monoprice order yet, which turned out to be a good thing because someone else jumped on-board to make it ten sets of headphones (yay discount!).  I'll get on that soon, but I'm not sure when I'll get myself to Winnipeg.  Feb. 12 seems possible.

Alive, but things have been crazy lately.

Kind of a Winnipeg question.  If I'm wearing some IEMs and catching the bus, how is it on the cord to be exposed to -30 to -40 temperatures while waiting at a stop or walking?  Some of it runs outside my jacket sometimes and I don't really want the cords to have problems.

My EX600's and Coppers it's not a big deal but my UE700 and X10 cables become very stiff and microphonics goes through the roof. I usually keep my cord under my jacket and I find as long as it's next to your skin doesn't stiffen up to badly.

They usually run pretty close to my skin if they are outside, so hope it doesn't cause any issues down the road.

I need a new desktop setup and need the whole shebang, DAC + Amp.  I am thinking on going the separate DAC and Amp route.  Don't know what's available these days, but I think I know what amp I might get.  Any good DAC around $150 that has optical + USB in?

Nah gave it to my Dad so he can run the Fostex T50RP when he listens/watches classical music on the computer.  Might for the cheap Musical Paradise all in one for $70 for the meantime.

E-MU 0404 USB are supposed to be very good, with a great headphone amp and optical/SPDIF as well.  I'm not sure if they're still floating around the used market, but I'd guess that they are.  Pretty sure I've seen them for less than $150 used.  http://asia.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=237&subcategory=609&product=15167

There's actually one in the city on Kijiji, I'll probably poke around to see on head-fi if there are some good deals on a DAC.

Oh neat.  I just sent that guy a message.  I'll have to sell a few things to buy it though, if I decide to do so that is.
