Yeah, not entirely serious about that but I guess we will see when we all show up at his room Saturday morning with our receipts.
Don't really care but if I know I am getting one I would probably throw the HP-2s in the bag and make it a Grado weekend.
I would like to see it as I intend to do the same thing and would love to hear the end result at the show.
My order went in around 10 AM EST and Todd can't guarantee I can pick mine up at the meet so I assume it might not be a first come first serve thing and might be a Headphone celebrity thing.
I ordered a set as well so I could beat the rush. I have been contemplating getting a set of HF-1s but I am a FOTM kind of guy and those are soooo last month.
Great to be able to read your review Todd as this DAC is one that I have been thinking about.
This is is definite CanJam gear list for me as I need a DAC for my Squeezebox Duet and the Benchmark DAC 1 and the Lavry DA10 that I have now are just not doing it for me and Dreadhead's review of the Weiss DAC 2 has me thinking I need to broaden my search as the Weiss was next on my list.
The number one thing on my list is Ironbut's Technics as I have the same set up sans the tape path mods and I am interested in hearing if I am missing out on anything. He also has many more of the Tape Projects tapes than I do so that will be interesting.
I would like to try the Smyth thing as the Beyer version I heard last year at a Jersey meet was pretty sorry but the idea is intriguing.
The TTVJ 307a amp is a must for me as is the Luxman P1.
I definitely intend to do some Vinyl shopping at the Eastwind booth. Too bad we couldn't wrangle someone like Acoustic Sounds to bring a booth like they bring to the big audio shows as I have not been hitting my quotas on Vinyl purchases this year.
The only other thing of interest might be some high end digital players to see if I can do better than the ever growing collection I have here.
I thought about one of those but as I only use Macs so as I understand it I can do 24/96 via the mini toslink output so I don't have to pay the price for a USB input.
Decided to try out some lower priced DACs with the new Squeezebox before going nuts so I picked up a Benchmark DAC1 and a Lavry DA-10 since everyone is dumping them cheap.
Don't know that I will like either one but at the prices I paid I should be able to turn them around if I decide I really need that Weiss DAC.
Yeah I have reached out to Myles Astor about trying out the DAC2 as I seem to remember one is his system when I saw him a few weeks ago. I also ordered the Apogee MiniDac that Dan recommended but it is not here yet.
Bought a Squeezebox Duet and got it set up this morning.
Playing right out of the receiver it sounds better than I thought it would. Going to try a DAC soon. Hopefully will choose my CanJam MacBook Pro balanced DAC soon and it will also end up being my Squeezebox DAC.
Ray and his Electrstat amp will not be in attendance. Looking at the gear list it appears this one might break NY records for fewest amount of Stats.
I may have to figure out a way to fit the KGSS and Omega IIs in for the trip.
