yes, participate on things you know, not things you make up. "This sounds like that" great "this is the same design as that, so it is worth $50", when it's NOT the same design, not helpful.

Exactly, why contribute to a conversation when you're clearly ignorant about what's going on? This isn't headfi, we won't give you bonus points for additional stupid posts.

The bullshit is where you make up that one design is like another. Why even go there?

I don't need smileys, I need you not adding bullshit to real conversations. You'll find that when you do that here, you get called on it.

I wasn't, I was pointing out the "logic" of your comment. And maybe next time, instead of labelling your assumptions with smileys, you'll refrain from making comments on gear based on false assumptions.

If the predator isn't different from the pico, and why should it be, then it's a great amp/dac combination with separate usb to i2s and i2s to analog stages. Except that they're different, and it isn't.

uluu knife, cool Anyone who can shave with that...

there's not a difference between an attenuator and a P->S cable, except that you can dial the impedance of the attenuator

I don't have any problem believing that an active linestage can be less colored than a passive one. Passive electronics need to get their mojo from somewhere, and without the additional electrons, it seems to me they're MORE likely to be colored.

The minidac doesn't really have single ended outputs, unless you count the horrid sounding minijack. The CEC DA53 is a pretty good balanced dac with USB input.

The cable doesn't change the warranty status. You can even send them back without a cable. And replacing the cable before getting an amp is amazingly stupid.

Depends entirely on the source. And the amp. And your environment.

Ok, I'm confused now. Are you calling out Pars or SDM?

The dac only pico is on the horizon...

Those were the first "upgrade" we made in our house. I'm surprised you're having trouble finding them, there were several options at the home despot.

I sent her that very question on facebook. She didn't like how she was acting in the germania debacle, so she took a step back from the forums, and went out and found real life things to do.

I don't think home depot inspired my remodel And even post remodel I was more able to afford my house in alaska than my house in PA...I miss that house...

Or you are...

since hookers provide no satisfaction, that should be easy.

But every good jewish girl needs a boob job for graduation.

granite counters are great if you bake...plus they look spectacular.

you could check it with one of the pelican cases like I bought for canjam

It took 4 months and cost me $80k. Of which I got $20k back. But it was so worth it while we were there. I miss that kitchen. Granite, separate fridge and freezer, bosch dishwasher, maple cabinets, cooktop, double oven, and everything right where I wanted it.

I smell a kitchen remodel. I miss my alaska kitchen.
