Thanks Ken. Email sent to HR. I would prefer to avoid the adapter since my main rig will be single-ended and the less fuss the better then. But it would be nice to have a separate balanced cable in-house provided that it wouldn't break the bank.
Jin, how did you like the Ginger Man? I've heard it's kind of a nightmare on Fridays.
Me today: wrapped up a bunch of stuff at work so that I could go on vacation with as little anxiety as possible. Picked up free Feelies tickets during lunch, then saw the show with my brother after work. Then came home and ate Chinese food.
The Feelies at the Dan Graham show at the Whitney Museum. They are such a tight band. Great rhythms and textures. Jingle-jangle indie rock goodness.
Horrible acoustics in the concert space though.
Ok, Panda, here's what you do. Get an EAD DAC and a Parasound DAC (1000, 1100, 1500, or 1600) and compare them. Then take the better DAC and compare it to the Electrocompaniet ECD-1 that you will purchase. Then post the results.
