that looks awesome. sticky balsamic, pesto and olive oil would go so well with it. Then again, I would probably eat it as is before it go to the table.

how did i miss that? need to search harder. Thanks matey. much appreciated.

apologies, i probably did not phrase the question correctly. The ipod as a transport bit is clear enough and yes, I have looked the various options (pure, wadia, cambridge audio etc) for a digital out. All of these are desk based solutions. I am looking at a portable setup i.e ipod/iphone -> connector -> portable dac&amp -> headphones. From what I have read so far this does not seem to be possible. I'll investigate non-ipod solutions then.

What would the options be then? Onewould be to find a decent dac that does optical (not sure if there is anything in the headamp pico size territory though. I could put my old iriver to use as a trasnsport. I gather the ipod touch is not an option to consider at all then?

Have a question in regards to the touch/iphone line. i noticed on innerfidelity that with an Ipad, one can plug in the camera connector dongle and the USB out allows a digital signal to be sent to the Headamp Pico. Has anyone tried something similar with an ipod touch or iphone and gotten it to work.

Sorry, I was joking...I have not bothered to try the 800s with the sr71 (original) . Still tinkering with it on the dac1 and applying some equalisation while i get the stuff for the anaxilus mod sorted out. My tolerance for a brighter headphone is probably on the higher side. I do tend to listen at lower volumes to compensate. I am however thinking of giving these a go balanced with the dac1 xlr outs to see how it works out. I didn't mind the hd650s driven this way. No idea on where to source the hd800 connectors though.

Alternately, pair it with a ray samuels SR-71 and it might fix the treble .

can anyone comment on the difference in comfort when comparing the ety tips and the comply tips. Where do the differences lie? Is the material significantly softer?

Hi Tyll Are you hoping they change something in the design that you did not like? curious
