I just read that thread and I must say I am a bit surprised that people think 127F is normal operating temp for a DAC chip

It wasn't too long ago on head-fi that someone recommended ripping to uncompressed wav for the best sound, compared to other lossless formats

Yup, got that too The sheets showed up yesterday; I must say I'm a bit surprised at just how thin 1mil actually is. Did you get around to playing with the roll-on TIM?

Four sheets of Kapton 100MT.

I'm going to an expensive training class up in norcal right after the meet, so I kinda know how you feel

Ah, very cool idea; I may have to try it out even though I already have the TPA usb board.

You mean hooking up the buffalo32 inside a Slim Devices Transporter?

I will be arriving sometime on thursday but will most likely be completely passed out for a while. I may be up for some helping out depending on how jetlagged/tired I am. Thursday, P

I can see where you're coming from, but with the recent introduction of the pico usb dac I'm thinking it'd be unlikely

I saw that Variac and thought that you might be interested....few minutes later I saw you posted on it. Grats!

Very nice! I'm planning on trying my hand at creating something similar to the functionality of the twisted pear audio AC1. I reckon it should be an interesting experience learning to use the arduino platform.

Wow, that's a rather sweet price for the kit. The remote is included in the price?

Any link or info on the controller setup used?

Submitted my paperwork for my trip home yesterday, should get it back in about a week, after which I'll get my tickets.

I have a pico and an opus. If I can't case up the buffalo in time for canjam, I'll throw the opus into a simple wood case and bring it instead. I think someone else should have a y1, then we can have a little comparison albeit under meet conditions. Of course, that still leaves out the source and amp...but I think there will be plenty of those around. edit: Doh, I only have the WM8740 version of the opus.

I think you're correct morphsci, they mention using HDMI to transport I2S but don't talk about DSD.

There are people already asking for them if they can do exactly that and the answer of course was no. Perhaps they're hoping the modding community will provide the hacking services needed?

An Arduino board and accessories, it's going to be fun playing with it.

great idea! should do headphone reviews that way too

Wish I could give it a listening to!

There's something to be said about interface responsiveness, when you upgrade to a decent SSD, if nothing else the increased snappiness of the computer is worth it.

I'm in the Air Force, and I salute your dad. I'll also drink something good tonight in his honor.

To clarify, I live in Japan so when I saw that site I realized what i thought were normal prices here were a bargain compared to state-side Part of the surprise I experienced was due to the fact that the majority of Japanese made items sold in Japan are normally found cheaper in the states and everywhere other than Japan.

Holy crap, I didn't realize those sold for that much online / in the states

Pico Slim? That sounds interesting!
