this pic made my day. beautiful setup. I am green with envy sir.

[new here. imod or pico...]

so I just thought of something interesting. I want to get a cheap mini laptop thingy like an eee pc or something and use my future pico with it. is this possible? also can you stream music to the eee from a pc via wireless?

This is a pretty bad ass player:

what is that?

He said he needed a min of 6 gigs, I took that to mean that anything over that was workable.

correct. one thing though is that although it may be thin it still is fairly long. want something that can be contained within the perimeter of my palm. looks like an ipod nano huh?

awesome

already ordered pk1s.... feel like a jackass now....

[Best headphones for Ipod (unamped)]

betcha it's more a factor of sensitivity than impedance.

Im sorry but what do you mean by sensitivity? newb here. am I asking for it??

[need a new portable player]

ok ok. didnt mean to offend. Ill look into a nano probably...

[Best headphones for Ipod (unamped)]

I'll chime in regards to Yuin's PK2. Stay away from the PK1s, they need an amp due to their 150 ohm impedance. Since the headphone out of iPods aren't the greatest, it doesn't make much sense to go high end. But if you plan on upgrading at some point - Sleek Audio's SA6 is quite the gem.

are there any portable mp3 players out there that can handle an impedance of that level or possibly higher?

[need a new portable player]

nano

I wouldn't spend money on anything other than an Ipod touch these days. It's by far and away the best Ipod yet.

really? apple products dont really have very good hardware right? that is the impression I have had at least.

[need a new portable player]

I am selling my ipod classic 160gb on ebay as we speak and I want a new music player that isnt so large. for real portability I want something small and light but some fairly decent hardware under the hood that can really take advantage of my moda vibes or my soon to own yuin pk1s. also i might use the pico with it when i own the pico next year. I would need at least 6gb space. also I have been encoding using apple lossless however I dont know if other players can play them. I doubt it. that would likely force me to encode with another lossless compression method wouldnt it? god that would suck ughh but gotta do what you gotta do I suppose...

[new here. imod or pico...]

well it looks like ill be getting a pico early next year. or perhaps if another better competitor comes around Ill be getting that. the imod is interesting but I have come to the conclusion that it is extremely limited in its usefulness. the pico however is a good investment. it will serve a great purpose for many years after I buy it most likely. now if only they sold the pico in white... \

all I really care about is audio quality. I never take my ipod outside anyways so a lappy and pico makes just as much sense. my desktop setup right now is emu 0404 usb and its ok but I know my allessandros deserve better

That punishment involves giving money to ALO, which means we all lose.

I have never shopped from ALO but they look like they have nice cables and wires and such.... whats wrong with em? overpriced?

[new here. imod or pico...]

so the pico with a lappy would sound much better huh? they should be able to drive allessandro ms2s pretty well right? what other options should I consider? any suggestions for a newb?

[new here. imod or pico...]

[new here. imod or pico...]

sorry for posting another imod thread. I am deciding on two different options for next tax return. I could get an Imod or a pico with dac. as far as how I would amp the imod I have a emu0404 usb which I would run it through for its internal amp. however I am starting to think the pico would be the better choice. I am also considering buying a small laptop about 11 - 12 inch screen and I already have a large portable hdd. so I am considering using the pico with a lappy instead of imod. if it would sound better through the lappy and pico than imod and emu 0404 than that would be the btter choice. I have allessandro ms2 already so I am alright in that department. thanks alot!
