The site does look really nice Haj.

Stay with us Stretch! Posting early morning now is like old times even without a drink in hand.

Dan predicted 10 of those. What say you now that you are on no. 2?

The Grace looks very good, and the only odd bit is the fact that the balanced input -- a plus over the DAC1 -- is XLR, while the balanced output is TRS given its pro usage. Great suggestion!

Does that make them Superman-hattans?

I'm sure it does, but it has no analog inputs.

Peachtree something might make some sense although I have zero experience with their headphone amp output. Only HR offers something close to all the features -- Desktop Amp with dac -- but it is not remote controlled and I am done with HR given its Tyll-free status. EDIT: I suggested the DA11 as an option because I think it sounds better but it has no preamp capability.

A buddy is looking to buy one of these for himself and I was wondering if there were any other units that cover the same features any better. The DAC1 is a DAC, preamp, headphone amp, and has a remote control. He would be replacing a larger preamp and likes the smaller form factor of the DAC1 all-in-one. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Congrats on off-loading your grad student! Drinks are in order!

I'd definitely like to check out the rDAC if you can bring that Steve.

He's been posting today for the first time in months.

You're more than just my hero, roomie, and I am ashamed that I was too out of it to remember to post up the thread earlier. I had it marked long ago. I'll make it up to you in Tampa. Hope you are having a great one. Screw this cold, I will hoist a dram in your honor this evening. Cheers!

OK, sorry about that.

There are nuances? Since I am staying home with a cold I might as well listen to the BHse with the NOS EL34 xf2 quad I just got in the mail. I think I need to bias them, but they sound pretty good so far. Flaming Lips -- Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

So too is the Rage Eagle!

I was missing these pieces to the Van Winkle collection -- and missing drinking them -- so I snatched them when SF Wine Trading called to say they were in after a long dry spell. ^That looks much healthier, Shelly, but not as tasty.

This is getting creepier by the minute.

One thing I think is that they sure have softened her looks for that cover.

Just add Salty! Have a great one Haj. cheers!

Yeah, and she has nice guns too!
