After you arrive is good with me, Nice Guy Jeff.

This time next week, I will be basking in the presence of this august group once again. Yay! Some of us were thinking of going out for dinner Friday night at a nicer and pricier than usual spot. Obviously, whoever goes to that dinner will reconnect with the rest of the crew afterward. We should figure out who is interested in the nice dinner idea and where we want to go, so speak up with interest and suggestions.

Was: Iron and Wine -- Walking Far From Home (New single/EP) Is: Iron and Wine -- The Creek Drank The Cradle

You are now the COOLEST MOD (of the Moment).

AGREED! Some cool moderator could make that happen, no?

RIP Ron. He was playing when I was a kid. He should have been inducted to the HOF long ago.

This sounds better all the time. Have some good clean fun, fellas! And good luck to Debbie!

Does this count?

was: Steve Wynn and the Miracle 3 -- Northern Aggression Is: The Dead Weather -- Sea of Cowards

Gabor Szabo -- Gypsy 66

By the way, I gave Grahame the whole series to process on his end. I am in the middle of season 3 but will pass this back to you because I am being too slow.

Que?

You must have a hot grandma.

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?

Jimmy Smith -- Christmas Cookin'

Gene has adoring fans over at HF

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!
