Perhaps we could keep this topic semi on topic?

Yup, the Keen sandals are good. I've had mine for a little over 3 years and in the warmer months they're my footwear of choice.

I'd imagine that most LEO's would look at that and have no idea what they were looking at and probably not even want to get into it. And all of it is certainly no worse in my book than the Hog riders who have standard FM radios and speakers on their bikes.

Guilt as charged.

In context yes.

Yes, now it's the confusing moniker of 'dual headphone amplifier', whatever the heck that means.

If it were me I'd be requesting two new amps, ont this repair/upgrade nonsense that will have you without amps for yet another undetermined length of time.

I'm pretty sure it's the Pico DAC section.

Shit Mike, that sucks. Like Al said, your a saint for accepting more down time from them. And I suspect that the KGSS will be the equal of the SRD7.

Belden also has shielded wire that is suitable for input/internal use. Hand Made Audio used to carry it although I don't know if they still do.

Indeed we do Haj. Let's see what happens with the NYC meet and go from there. I'm not sure that Ian's zoo would work again.

Don't get all uppity just cause you picked a crappy laptop.

One got listed on Head-Fi, so I jumped. As far as I now the next batch won't be available for a month or more which made the decision all the more easy. I don't have time to sit around refreshing a web page trying to get an order in for something that I really don't need. This was stress free and easy, just how I like it.

And here i thought you were happily retired? Best of luck Ken.

Buffalo DAC + IVY Active I/V Stage + Power Supplies Combination cue Nancy Kerrigan WHY.... WHY WHY WHAAAAAAAA....

I think that all of the outputs are routed to the 4 channel passive mixer (just to the right of the GPS) and I'm guessing that he has a cable going from that terminated with a female mini so that when he gets off the bike he doesn't unplug anything from the mixer.

For most of us motorcyclists it's a big gray area. Most of us refuse to ride without hearing protection (those of us who value our hearing anyway) since ambient noise levels, especially at highway speeds, are significant. Also, studies have shown that road noise contributes to fatigue which is something that affects motorcycle riders a lot more than cage drivers. Couple all that with the idea that "helmet speakers" aren't illegal (as far as I know) and IEMs seem no worse than what a lot of other people are doing anyway. I've been pulled over before wearing IEMs and the officer didn't say a thing about them.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and gues... HEADPHONES!

1. The Bithead is a good value, especially if you can find one used. 2. The Go-Vibe Petite + DAC, I use the DAC only version of this at work and it's a passable soundcard. 3. The IBasso D2 Boa - no direct experience with this so YMMV There are no good DIY options that come to mind, or better put ones that you're likely to be able to find in a reasonable time frame.

The power requirements for a desktop replacement such as that would overwhelm the MC's electrical system. [/extreme sarcasm]

That's not encouraging.

I heart me some studio grade headphones.

I think this thread is done.

I'd say some of these asshats are due for some kneecap breakage.
