Hey guys, @justin and I are excited to make our first offer on the burgeoning deal site Massdrop: it's the Original HeadAmp Pico DAC/Amp! https://www.massdrop.com/buy/headamp-pico-portable-dac-amp Get in soon, to save up to 50% off the retail price of $499. This is a limited-time, limited quantity deal, and once the Picos at this price are gone, they're gone. The Pico DAC/Amp uses an ASRC to upsample signals of 16/44 and 16/48 to 24/96 before converting them with a well-regarded Wolfson DAC chip. The Pico DAC works without drivers on Windows and Macs, and works on some Apple iOS products when paired with a camera connection kit, and select Android devices with an OTG cable (have used successfully with Samsung Galaxy S4, and Note 4). The Pico DAC/Amp also accepts analog signalson its' 3.5mm input jack, making it simple and easy to pair with DAP's and smartphones. The two-way gain switch allows the amp to comfortably drive low-impedance IEM's all the way up to high-impedance cans like the Sennheiser HD600 series. Featuring HeadAmp's legendary fit, finish, and attention to detail, the Pico is a work of both art and science, designed to give you great sound for years to come.

I guess that depends on what you mean by influence. Influential in terms of people seeing these photos, sure? Influential in terms of these photos shaping photography itself, some yes, some not so much. I think any number of photos/photographers have been more influential on the art form, itself.

Most influential? It looks more like most newsworthy. Any number of incredibly influential photographers are entirely absent from that list. It reads more like a list of the most well-known photos from major news events of the last ~200ish years.

Happy #brithday JP#'s!!! Cheers!

Just buy an HE400S. Better transparency, easier to drive, more comfortable / lighter. No need for this ancient headphone in Massdrop clothing. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

Thanks, everyone. Michelle and I had a blast in Vancouver last night (highlight being the Shameful Tiki Room), and enjoyed wonderful scenery driving north to Whistler today. Beers in Portland tomorrow then on towards home. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

Really? I've only ever heard one connected to a BHSE/009 system, and I thought something was broken. Soundstage was completely collapsed.

Happy Birthday Vicki! I hope we see you again sometime soon, and that all is well!

Indeed! I am clinging to my Verizon unlimited account, and sometimes use it to stream Tidal at meets/shows for days on end. I've used 10GB in a weekend doing just that! [emoji6] T-Mo has unlimited streaming for Tidal/Spotify/Netflix/etc. **BRENT** Didn't know they're exempting Tidal now! That's awesome! Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

My Surface Pro 3 i5/8GB has been an excellent machine, and I wouldn't have any qualms about getting another one. For the size, it's an amazing amount of compute power that does a good job even on all bu the heaviest photoshop work.

I'm using a Dell Precision M3800, now discontinued, but the successor model looks to be about 1lb lighter (Precision 15 5000 Series). If you're going to end up needing even more graphics power, then you get into the heavy true desktop replacements.

I actually listened to these headphones on Friday. They are very quick and detailed, but smooth, with a somewhat forward presentation. I preferred them greatly to the withdrawn, distant sound of the HD800S I compared them with directly. There seemed to be a slight dip in the lower mids that made male vocals feel a little buried, and the bass punch was not to the level of the best planars. Soundstage size felt a bit limited for a TOTL headphone. They are fairly heavy, but clamping force is light, and the pads are well done, so I didn't notice any comfort issues. Overall, the detail they produce puts them in a very high class, and it's all personal preference from there. They wouldn't supplant the HE1000 as my personal favorite headphone, but they may be just what others are looking for.

Yeah, I've been crazy busy, and remiss to post this outside Facebook yet. I have something special up my sleeve for the d-_-b crowd! Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

Justin's giant boxes of headphone fun are on their way. Wish I were going to be there with y'all. Special extras we put in: Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

Happy birthday! Don't spend it ALL at redline in the Cayman!

A little photo tour of last month's SIngapore trip, some of you may have seen it on Facebook, but if not, here it is! Shot with a combination of Sony A6000 16-50/3.5-5.6 and Samyang 12/2.0, with a few cameos from RAW processed out of my LG V10.

Happy birthday Colin! Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

Happy belated, Jeff!

I'm pretty certain I know exactly who at JHA wrote that little marketing blurb, and yeah it sure does come off sounding crass and presumptive. Oy.

Yep, at the meet. He says he's coming to our next shindig if not hosting it Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
