Well this here thread has turned out to be a lot more than I bargained for, but I'm not complaining in the least. I'm actually really glad to get so much feedback on the current market estimate of cost/value for these products and it helps a lot. I gotta say I'm leaning toward that Pico right now or a Bifrost. Has anyone had a chance to compare these two DACs directly and would care to comment?

Any NFB DACs worth considering in this range?

you've really got to be kidding me, you bump a thread that is 3.5 years dead and buried to ask you question. Did you even read your welcome pm.

see ya

I linked to this thread in a current thread about the Predator, so I think that is why he bumped it. Probably meant to post it in the current thread?

How did you all get these figures on number of units sold? Are they really that low? I thought the market was bigger than that.

Are you talking about the 2008 numbers from before this thread was zombified?

Yeppers. Are they low because the amps had just been released? Or maybe i think theres more headphone obsessed freaks than there really are.

i sell, averaged, between 1 and 2 Picos per day. it's also possible to sell 5 in a day (dealer orders excluded). it's also possible to go 2 weeks without selling any.

i'm sure some manufacturers sell more, and many others sell less. the market is not very big.

the serial #s on my amps are sequential so it's not hard to figure out

Pico (amp, and DAC/Amp) - 1452

Pico USB DAC - 215

Pico Slim - 655

95% of the population probably doesn't even know what a headphone amp is.

99,7% might be more accurate.

And the other 0.4% don't count
