Just received the board and all the parts except the transformers and resistors. Should be fun stuffing this one. Lots of parts in tight spaces.
As what would be better I guess I will only know once it's done. I would think that the Sabre8 on paper is a better DAC than the PCM63s but what really matters is how it sounds. Let you know in a couple days/month
I have been spending a lot of my free time smoking cigars lately. Not that I needed any more but I wanted some smaller quick burns.
Bundle each of Jose La Piedra Petit Cazadores and Por Larranaga Panetela. Threw in some Monte #2 for good measure Now I wait......
I have a large Tempur-Pedic NeckPillow that I have had for the last couple of years. I really like it a lot. My wife also has one of the smaller ones. We tried out the generic versions but they just were not as good as the Tempur-Pedics.
They are a bit on the expensive side though. But considering it should last many years and improve your sleep (which is priceless) I think it's well worth the extra cost. I would just try one from someplace you can return it.
This is definitely on my list of builds. I need to brush up on my Solidworks so I can have a case fitting for such an amp.
Hmmm monoblock or single chassis?
We use to get those by the donkey load. We would catch donkey trains full of them being smuggled across the boarder from Syria. Made the cigarette smokers happy when we would land with the rear of the helicopter full of them.
Just had a Reserva Del Milenio Monticristo Robusto (Cuban). Purchased a jar of these back in 2000 and smoked maybe 6 so far. They keep getting better with age. If only I had a good scotch to go with it.
I just couldn't keep my mouth shut. Lets see that hate mail start pouring in.

Going to post this here and not even bother with the other place.
So I have wanted a pair of snake wood Darths for some time now. I figured I would like how they sound seeing as I like my '03 880s and how much they are hyped at the other place. So when a pair showed up at half price in the for sale section I jumped on them.
I received them today. Really? People really like these? I know they were going to be a bit bass heavy but not bass bloated. The low end totally ruins any chance they have of sounding good. Or okay for that matter. Makes me really question all the people that talk them up as being a great sounding headphone. No offense if your reading this and your one of those people. Maybe I am just spoiled by the other phones I have.
Just had to get that off my chest.
I'm not sure if it would be worth the trouble pulling them apart to replace the cable. The problem is that the ear cups are glued in place (bad idea I know) and would have to be removed.
