Because that is still smaller than a full sized ipod + amp?

Not natively, but you can via wine, again a weakness of developers and not the Linux system itself. Everyday, Linux is (on the average) gaining marketshare, and I really think you will see more and more gains when Vista rolls out. This, of course, is just one man's opinion.
I'm sorry, vista won't make more developers switch to linux. Linux being used by people willing to pay for software is what will get developers writing for linux. In otherwords, some business software, but almost no games. And it will stay like that forever.

What are some examples of a good amp to pair with the headphones?
Cheers,
Nanoha
I really liked them with the old school mpx3 and with the emotion+ from blueberry.
-
The hd25 senns that were recommended up are worth a try. Also if you can get your hands on woodified CD3000, they are also worth consideration. The regular CD3000s were too bright for my taste but, maybe a laid back amp may work.
For reference, I have not heard any beyer cans, (the ones Dusty mentioned, I need to get together with him to to this someday) or the koss either.
cheers.
Woodied CD3000s with PS1 drivers are spectacular, as well...
the woodied headphile 770s when paired with the right amp sound better than they have any right to.

I love my ath-w10vtgs, but they're impossible to find, and I apparently got the best pair ever made...
-
Wouldn't the higher power result in increased noise and distortion, purely theoretically?
My experience is distortion is caused by a lack of power, not an abundance of it. Noise is a feature of poor design, somewhere, not power.
-
Isn't the dynahi a much higher output version of a dynalo? Isn't it the same circuit give or take a bit? Shouldn't that mean that in some ways the dynalo will actually be better if it has enough power for your headphones?
With nothing else changed, higher power available at the same gain seems like it would be the preferrable situation. Unless you don't like heat.

I bought a usb keylogger and had the admin run a couple things. Then viola! Admin password. Suckers.....
That's a great way to not work with computers again ever...
-
Hardcore audiophile bullshit? Yeah when I've spent thousands on gear, I'll take a player that can at least bypass Windows kmixer
The airport express doesn't use the kmixer at all.

I use mac and pc, nothing particularly modern. I get my fast computer fix at work. I just open itunes and leave it open, so I don't really care that it takes a minute to load.
-
I like itunes precisely because I have a large library. It's simple, it works, I don't have to futz with it. I don't tweak my tags, I don't fiddle with EQ settings per track, I don't build playlists. I listen with party shuffle, and when I get in a mood for something, I drop it in the playlist.

It's not a usb dac, but it's a computer source. Better, imho.
-
Way more important than the quality of the DAC is that you're electrically isolating the dac from the computer. I've got a CEC DA53, which is a great dac and has USB in, but I still prefer to feed it from the airport instead, so that I eliminate possible interference. It's a growth path that doesn't leave you stuck with a piece of equipment you won't want later, unlike most compromise gear.
-
I just ordered the Black SE Lites with the DPS.
However, now I'm in the market for a good USB DAC Source around the 300 dollar range.
Is the Micro DAC as good as it gets?
Apple Airport Express is better than any usb source I've heard, if you're starting from itunes.
-
That's up to you I guess. I've used a dynahi directly out of my powerbook, and it sounded better than other options I had for listening at the time.
-
You'll definitely get improvement with a good amp, and upgrading the source later works fine.
Hey guys, wanted to ask you for some advice. I'm about to make an amp purchase and I've always wanted to hear some of Justin's amps. However now I'm stuck in one of those am I making the right decision by spending this much money for the source that I have.
What's my lame source?
An iPod with Lossless codecs going through line out. I know its not the greatest source but it's also very hard to match the convenience of an iPod. This is mainly for office use so I'm not in the market for a portable amp anymore. I'd rather invest the money into something a little more solid.
So I guess my main question is...
Is the GS-1 overkill for the iPod or should I just stick with the Gilmore Lite?
Also remember I can later upgrade to a better source. I was thinking more of a USB source rather than a tricked out modded cd player.

all this means is a second round of exits from Head-fi....
That's a very unusual definition of the word second...second this quarter maybe.

It depends on the link I follow as to whether or not my cookies are honored. If I go to "www.head-case.org", no cookies are honored, but "head-case.org" and they are. And even then the cookies time out in 30 minutes or so.

Doesn't get rid of the bars, those are because of aspect ratio differences. Does increase the resolution from dvd resolution up to 720p, 1080i, or 1080p, depending on the dvd player.

Once you've recabled for balanced, switching connectors is easy. My preference for balanced is a 4pin xlr, and then I have adapters to male and female 3pin, as well as mini and 1/4".
