That's quite a back tire on that first bike Tyll.

Good trade

4 in my house

I have 15 veggie tales dvds

No you weren't, because you've met real girls... I just bought a veggie tales dvd and a capitals knit cap

I made belgian waffles this morning too.

I'm tempted to talk to mike about a kgss

No chance it's 4pin firewire, because the duet needs power over firewire, and 4pin firewire doesn't have that.

$800

candy corn

I think a pair sold for more than $5900 recently on headfi, so I don't think that price is out of line. That said, I'm not interested in a $6000 pair of sony headphones

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?
