Anyone with more technical knowledge than I have any thoughts on the Herus v. Geek from published specs? Like the pedigree and 1/4" jack on the Herus, but more seem to be going the other way.

This may be old news, but just played with the newest gen Paperwhite and the light-banding/shadow issue is so much less prevalent.

I was pretty disappointed in the SQ of the D2, though like quite a bit as a wireless streamer. Also @resonessence Herus running off iPhone5 with Apple adapter http://pic.twitter.com/L76KA6krnN

Same here. Now $75 more (with shipping). That excitement was short-lived.

That's definitely the alternative I was curious about too. Will look forward to your thoughts. BTW, do you have to wear the HD800s backwards with it (or is that joke getting old)?

He probably hasn't heard many DSD DACs (and gets a few names wrong), but... "Best Sound (highest value) – The best budget sound at the show was in Marriot tower room 6009 on Friday at 10:30 PM when I hooked up the new Resonessence Herus ($350) USB DAC to my MacPro portable and played my own 5.6 DSD recordings. As I listened through a pair of Audio-Technica AW-3000 headphones I was transported back to the moment the recordings were made. The Herus produced a level of sound quality that rivaled any DSD DAC I’ve heard, regardless of price." http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/rmaf-2013-digital-products-show-report/

Damn you Jeffy. $297 to Resonessence Labs.

"OPPO is also working with a leading smartphone and tablet manufacturer to certify the HA-1 so it can pass the required authentication and take digital audio from those popular mobile devices."

Looks like Oppo is releasing an amp too... http://oppodigital.com/future/
