Nice work on the setup so far! The black Alpha DAC is killer looking and Meier really did a good thing for those guys if he was indeed the inspiration (which he told me as well). Glad you bought from him because it makes it worthwhile that he went to the trouble to bring two Alpha DACs to the meet and hang out there, etc. If you are going to buy a Mac and Amarra, then you should decide whether you are going to get Mini and some means to get FireWire converted to AES or you are going to have to get a tower and use a card like the Lynx to convert directly from the CPU. There are people on ComputerAudiophile.com who suggest that the tower/Lynx card combo is better for purest digital signal out of the CPU but I have a Mac Mini with FireWire into the Amarra Model Four and I am very happy with it. I have heard the Alpha DAC in two situations. First at a dealer with a CD transport feeding the DAC and second at the meet in LA with the Model Four's digital output into the Alpha DAC. Both times it sounded great and I think you would get similar results with the Amarra software directly into the Alpha. Enjoy the rig, and make sure you get some hi-rez audio pumping through that beautiful Alpha DAC because that is when it is supposed to shine its most... What does that last little text imply? Are you considering something, or just that I am alone out here so far?

Random. I guess I will see if these are better than the Headphile version I have and sell one [or both] later.

Zing!

Yeah, what you both said was in my mind when I posted.

Why are you thinking of Smeggy in the shower? Didn't you just get engaged?

I'm sure Mike will take that into account.

All this talk of course is now making me sad I didn't set it up for pickup today instead of shipping.

I tried listening with flats last night and they exhibited the flaws that you guys are all complaining about. HF-2, like HF-1, were made to play with bowls and I think that is how they sound best. I guess my new flats can just be backup for the PS-1 which I unquestionably like better with flats.

Good news on the gear front. Jack Wu contacted me and offered to send the final souped-up prototype of the WES electrostatic amp in time for the meet. It is not the same amp that was at CanJam, and Jack is very excited about the final result. Go Team Woo!

Cheers David!
