  1. Want...
  2. I was thinking this too but I looked around and couldn't find a portable source for the DAC.
  3. The whole idea of balanced drive for IEMs is "meh" to me. Balanced drive should (I think) give 2x the noise floor of the amp which is bad news considering the issues most IEMs have with noise floors. Also doubles the output impedance which is likely again an issue with a lot of low impedance IEMs. I guess you do still gain the distortion cancellation (if the source is balanced) and the slew rate gains (not sure what's to be gained in the case of IEMs).
  4. I would highly recommend that if you're going the Weiss route you go with their commercial units since the internals are identical (according to the manufacturer and all internal photos I've seen). They don't look as nice though. I tried out a DAC2 and it was very nice.
  5. Stereophile A+ so probably. Too bad it doesn't have any other inputs than USB because then I would likely want one.
  6. Correction: If the distance is greater and the time instance the same. The speed will be greater.
  7. Answer them with "Because if you aren't you take a dump on the carpet" which is what my dog did last night.
  8. Sorry to hear about your dad and I hope that he recovers well. My mother-in-law had a stroke many years ago and recovered very well. By the way you work on a very cool ship (but you probably already know that).
  9. Not in the audio field
  10. Congrats. Watches are fun.

  12. All my wife gets about it is that it makes me happy so she's reasonably happy about it. She's far happier with cycling though since I've dropped 30lbs for it.
  13. Holy shit.
  14. QTF (with slight modification)
  15. Thank you sir for my word of the day. Sorry that she caught on to the dangers of hi-fi. I tried that one and my wife was having none of it. Her response was along the lines of "he's rich and insane and you're just insane, NO".

    What then?
  17. But in black: For those days where my deep profile wheels cause the gusts to be rather scary. I nearly crapped myself several times last weekend: going 40-50kph and having gusts take your front wheel for a spin is no fun.
  18. Damn I wish I was there. Instead I am going bike riding in sleet and snow
  19. My condolences to you and your family Mike.
  20. I have a pair of those things that sends the network over the power lines and I find it works very well. YMMV
  21. My refi saved me over 250k over the life of the loan if I remember correctly.
  22. Happy Birthday Gene!
  23. Happy birfday
  24. x2
