screaming oranges Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Hello, I just realized I am lending my Aero DAC to Mike.. ... and he has a gun. Help please. Edit: I will also accept any cans of maze.
boomana Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Your post does not inspire gun lending, alex. I'm concerned.
screaming oranges Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Posted June 29, 2009 I guess my super soaker will have to do.
screaming oranges Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Posted June 29, 2009 Just wanted to clarify that this thread was not meant to be taken seriously in any way, simply having some fun with Mike. Maybe something was lost in the internet translation..

boomana Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 I can see the headlines now in the Sun Sentinel: Lawyer and Banker Shootout in Plantation over Dac. Hey, isn't Carl the photo editor there? That could a nifty scoop for him.
Edwood Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 Hello, Edit: I will also accept any cans of maze. Maize?
screaming oranges Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Posted July 3, 2009 Well, if Mike's stomach has an aversion to such things, I guess that will work too. Anyhow, showdown today at 3:30pm. I decided to go DIY on a gun. We'll see what happens.

Chekhonte Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 as a native american I take great offense at this thread.
screaming oranges Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Posted July 3, 2009 as a native american I take great offense at this thread. But even your own sig offends you...
grawk Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 as a native american I take great offense at this thread. If you're serious, then the site motto applies.
morphsci Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 as a native american I take great offense at this thread. Technically, there are no native Americans, just people who immigrated here before others.

tyrion Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 No one, including Native Americans, were harmed by the making of this thread. We both survived, DAC/Preamp in place. I haven't listened much yet but the unit is a fail for me. It has balanced outs but no balanced input which I would use for a balanced phono pre. It also does not have a pass through so I can't run an rca to my headphone amp. I will try to get some listening in this weekend.

It also does not have a pass through so I can't run an rca to my headphone amp. I will try to get some listening in this weekend. You see why I told you to try it before committing to buy? Well, too bad it isn't what you were looking for. I was going to say that it makes sense it doesn't have balanced inputs, since this unit's primary function is that of a DAC and not of a preamp, but if I remember correctly, it had RCA analog inputs, didn't it, so that would debunk my theory. I just remember seeing a plethora of inputs in the back... EDIT: So pretty much you are looking for something like the Cary SLP-03? Look in audiogon, some nice deals (both well under $2k): http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1250425775&/Cary-SLP-03- http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1250379920&/Cary-Audio-SLP-03-Flawless
CarlSeibert Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 If you are thinking Cary, you should check with Oswaldo or Drew Baird. It seems like every time I turn around lately, Drew is emailing about Cary selling something half-price-ish. -Carl
tyrion Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) It does have SE inputs. It is primarily a DAC but if they give it preamp functionality, balanced out and SE inputs, why not a set of balanced inputs. Plus no pass through. It was worth a try. I really need two sets of balanced inputs, one for my phono and one for digital. Edited July 4, 2009 by tyrion
screaming oranges Posted July 4, 2009 Author Report Posted July 4, 2009 I really need two sets of balanced inputs, one for my phono and one for digital. First thing that comes to mind is the BAT product line. I know they have multiple balanced inputs. I think there is even one that is phono/preamp, BAT VK-31 something or other (ran across it when I was phono shopping, but it was overkill for me). Have you looked into those? Just doing a quick search on the 'gon for "BAT" yields some results, but I'm too lazy to sift through them for you. EDIT: Oh! And there's also the Cambridge Audio 840E, solid state pre-amp with two balanced inputs. There are two for sale on the 'gon. One for $1300, the other for $1600.
