xand1x Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 But the important question is do they have synergy with tkam? Silly nate. Everything has synergy with tkam, according to PFKMan23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron_Dreamer Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Has the supposed similarity between the Predator and Hornet amp sections that was mentioned some time ago been confirmed? I have a borrowed Hornet here to compare with the Pico, and I'm interested if that translates much to the Predator's amp section. The Pico is pretty clearly better sounding than the Hornet (though I think some complaints about the latter are a bit overblown). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjb Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 i picked up a predator about a week ago and am really enjoying it for what it is... i have yet to hear a pico, so my enjoyment of the predator is relative to no other portable 1-boxen to me, the amp section does not sound like a hornet nor an sr-71...not sure if i like it or not...it isn't bad though. there is some sort of synergy with the dac, since i think it sounds better from the dac than input. i have no use for portable gear (just something that will fit in a backpack for transport to work where i plug it in). i'm almost certain i'll go back to a da10 or minidac and sell the predator in the next week or so (mostly because i don't want to wait a month or two for a pico...but i am very eager to hear one some day) mjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 i prefer my dell laptop headphone jack as an amp are you just being kind to the predator or is the dell headphone out that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krrm Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 The sound from my Dell laptop :mikey2: is certainly not good. How it will compare to a Predator, I don't have an opinion about. But the Pico is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjb Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 are you just being kind to the predator or is the dell headphone out that good? the headphone jack (i.e. laptop's internal soundcard dac and amp hp out) on the laptop is crap (for a number of different reasons), but as an amplifier, it is far more "open" and "powerful" sounding (read: not necessarily louder)...the predator amp just makes everything sound more compressed, thin and slightly more distorted than even the laptop. that said, the predator dac is really not half bad, in fact when i run the hp out as a "line-out" to a different device, it sounds ok...sort of like any other $200 dac might sound...nothing special ) mjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
