The Monkey

I'll try to get some impressions up soon, but I love this DAC. I've found my source. It has a sweet sound without getting congested the way some DACs can that accentuate mids. Really just a pleasure to listen to and use.

Were these guys in class, too?

Reminds me of "Swimming to Cambodia" for some reason.

Al, I have a bad feeling that I'm right behind you with the Beyers. Congrats on getting them. For no reason whatsoever, I think they're going to be excellent.

You chose wisely.

happy birthday. dew et!

Gave Mrs. Monkey her MacBook last night for her birthday. She loves it.

Craig emailed me the following info: Triad Magnetics WAU16-400. Available at Mouser: WAU16-400 Triad Magnetics Plug-In AC Adapters

Agree. I have the 50mm. 35mm is next.

email sent.

A fast lens makes a big, big difference.

Ok, so the outputs of the DACs are always hot and they go directly to the NAD for switching, right?

I like this thread for many reasons. And here's my $.02...If I were buying today, I would make sure to set aside most of my budget for glass.

"No brain, no pain."

I get it better now, too. The switches aren't really the issue because the NAD is acting as the switch, right? Reading comp fail by me. HOWEVER, I would like to know a little bit more about how things are working in the Genesis. Is it possible that only one DAC is coming through?

^Did that come via a certain attorney in Florida?

Gang, My Dad seems to have misplaced the wall wart for his EC/SS. I know it is a 16V AC wall wart, but I'm not sure what exact specs I should be looking for. Any help is appreciated.

Jealous Monkey is jealous.

MOAR SKIPJACK! Also, good stuff here: http://www.inday.com/

The truth is, it can be hard to tell differences between these damn things. Also, the specs on the output voltages can be misleading. However, I'd like to know more about the Toslink switch in there. What make/model?

Well, that kind of sucks. Do they make special ones for teflon coated?

I think it's the other way around, isn't it? See here: New York firm dumps Koss stock - The Business Journal of Milwaukee: If you look at the filings, they show that Royce owned ~700k shares on or about 2/3 and then Royce was down to ~70k on or about 2/4, so it looks like some serious trimming. That said, someone out there was buying it.

It would be great if they were all "HEAD-FI" models.
