Sigh, should've gotten up early Sat morning for Canjam.

Fuck, man. I didn't really care until now, but this is worth bitching about.

Now you can tell us how the Devilsound compares to a Pico.

What's the difference between those and the Grado comfies?

Damn, all these different names are making my head spin. Which of these Sonic Studio or Metric Halo things would I want if I only want a DAC? Edit: wait, this isn't Mac only, is it?

L3000 Edit: Sorry, I'm not Elephas.

So did anyone end up getting the EAD?

Yeah, that pic is seriously messed up.

I never really paid too much attention to the HF thread. What were peeps bitching about that may have caused Grado to switch engravers?

Yeah, the NBA suddenly got delightfully top-heavy, which is great news for casual fans. Too bad Orlando couldn't keep Hedo, but we all suspected he would have to eventually go after that atrocious Shard contract. I honestly feel like a healthy Lakers team counters a healthy Celtics team now. The Spurs are getting more and more frail with age, and even if they stay healthy, they're still not long or deep enough to deal with the Lake Show, imo. I don't think it's gonna really matter where Sheed goes; he's just gonna go to a long shot contender and make them slightly better. The only team that comes close to matching up with LA is Cleveland, and they don't need Sheed for anything.

Yeah, I don't see anyone challenging them next year. Gotta wait til Lebron puts together the 2010 superteam.

Man, I guess there's been some QC issues over there at Grado. I'm not sure how I'd feel if I happened to get a "Head-F1" pair... It's funny and sad at the same time. Edit: I wonder if that means they changed the design in other ways.

My Pico is $500, and it literally does nothing on its own. WTF is your point? Do you know what PCM1704 means? Do you even know what a DAC is?

Hard rock is >80% of my listening time.

I vote for Phi Cama Jama.

So even the mighty bass-heavy R10s have weaknesses?

Man, I'm a Houston fan. I just saw Morey begging Marcin Gortat to come be their starting center. As for Cutler, I liked him before the whole fiasco, but now he's just a whiney diabetic who's not even good as Rivers. Maybe if Brandon Marshall signs with the Bears, I'll get on that bandwagon, but as of now, I don't see them doing much next season.

I know, right?

Man, I can't wait for football season. Don't like baseball or golf or whatever else is in the summer...

I remember one guy who fed a Pico DAC/amp into a Predator. Killer setup!

I just randomly checked the HF thread, and this thing officially supports every format that I'd be interested in. It even does 24/96, albeit from coax. If I didn't already have a netbook and Pico, I'd be all over this for sure. But my setup is bigger, fussier, more expensive, and can't do the hi rez. And $600 introductory price? Pretty damn good. What's not to like?

Damn.

Happy bday!

Don't forget good old Chimpie! Anyways, happy bday to CJ.

Yeah, but the net is full of BS and inexperienced folks. Chris Connaker likes it, but I'm not sure I trust his opinion. Anyways, at a commercial $250, I'd be shocked if it were similar performance to the Gamma1 or Pico.
