:'( I'm kind of waiting to read some reviews about the new emm dac2 as well.

Dream Theater - Awake

yeah. I guess if it can handle CD-RW's.....

I hope I'm wrong, but this is the only picture of the back I could find, and I believe it only has digital out. http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/image.php?image=776571&is_user=0

Methinks you may need to perform the I.P. variety

I dont think it has one at all

Mal Waldron Trio - Impressions

yay

Thats a good frenchie

I dont know, but re-reading my comment, I meant digital input. I meant that there is no digital input whatsoever, as opposed to the Capitole, which has 5 digital inputs. USB is just my preference for simplicity.

EAT ME

Interesting. Both of these are prime considerations of mine. Though I was bummed to hear the EAR has no USB.

yeah, but I was personally contacted by Acoustic Sounds staff about it. Not conclusive, but its the first time this has happened.

uh oh

Tell me about it FWIW the blue note ones are supposed to be finally shipping ~ end of next month.

posted a bunch of pathology presentations on the web.

My home rig has been steady this year, save for hard drive storage, but not the portable/office rig. In the office, I've tried the following, not all at the same time: Nugget Audio B22, Headamp Pico, 5G ipod, M Audio Transit, PX100, HD650, D2000, e530, ESW10JPN, JVC FX33. Currently using the Transit + ESW10JPN at work exclusively. At some point I will be upgrading the office setup again. What I'd like to do is get a dac-only Pico and the new TTVJ FET amp, and pair with my ESW10JPN and call it a day for that rig. I had aspirations for a home speaker setup, but put it on hold for various reasons. Currently letting my mom use my T Amp and Insignia speakers for living room background music. Having recently conquered (more or less) the battle between Amazon and my wallet, my real plans of change coming to the D.C. area in 2009 are electrostats (OII MK1, just purchased from GPH), an amp to drive them (BH SE, hopefully putting a deposit down real soon) and last but not least a new source upgrade. Really looking forward to the source upgrade most, as it is where most of my curiosity is. How deep does the rabbit hole go, and how 'neutral' a rig can I get to. 2008 was really about music for me. 400+ OJC jazz discs, which has completely transformed my music library for the better. I think 2009 will be a bit more focused on gear, especially since Ive got a backlog of vinyl I need to have Luis remaster

Horse Feathers - House With No Name

^^ I just read that without having read the previous posts, i.e., from the bottom-up, without context. That was pretty cool
