We will know in about a week. However, I prefer it to the Audio Aero DAC. On the bright side, when decide to sell your latest and greatest dac, the ERC-1 will still be available for $400.

...he needs to make more room.

Emotiva Audio UPA-7

Just buy an Emotive ERC-1 cdp for $400 and be happy.

Happy Birthday!

I don't know if this has been mentioned on HF but the case Jerry is using is the one he uses for his aviation side of the business. As a result of going to CJ, he got many more orders than he expected and ramped up production before he could get the cases that he wants to use for the audio line. The case is not an issue for me as my JH-13's will never go back in the case. I would not carry mine around in a hard case like that even at 1/3 the size. I sent my pair back to have the artwork redone and the second time around they came out better. I had them within about about 4 days of shipping. It helps to be located about 3 1/2 hours from JH Audio. He may have tweaked the fit as well because the go in and out easier than they originally did and are more comfortable. They weren't bad originally but there was a bit of pain if I pushed them the wrong way, something I thought would go away as my ears adjusted. The seal is excellent. It doesn't completely cut out all sound but I didn't expect they would. The sq is pretty amazing, even directly out of my iphone. I could not be happier with my pair.

Carl, thanks, I just ordered the vinyl.

It does have SE inputs. It is primarily a DAC but if they give it preamp functionality, balanced out and SE inputs, why not a set of balanced inputs. Plus no pass through. It was worth a try. I really need two sets of balanced inputs, one for my phono and one for digital.

Sorry to hear this CJ. Condolences to you and your family.

Damn, the amp looks great. Enjoy! Up at 4 am, ran 12 at 5 am, came home, slept until 12:30. Listening to my JH-13's because I can.

Happy Birthday!

No one, including Native Americans, were harmed by the making of this thread. We both survived, DAC/Preamp in place. I haven't listened much yet but the unit is a fail for me. It has balanced outs but no balanced input which I would use for a balanced phono pre. It also does not have a pass through so I can't run an rca to my headphone amp. I will try to get some listening in this weekend.

That's great news Gary. Of course bring Jeremy. Thanks Alex. Gene Me Alex Carl CJ Dom Vicki (Evening) Frank raffy Mat Gary Jeremy

Alex, I will be ready.

I think Audio Valve.

Your welcome.

What about grawk? He probably deserves some credit as well. And don't forget about boomana and jp11801.

So don't act like a douche. Sorry to hear that. I hope the recovery goes well.

Definitely you.

Chill out.

Have A Great Birthday Greg!

Really, I am both shocked and impressed.

Cool, I have lots of potatos.
