$250? That seems a bit steep for that to me. I've paid close to that for SRM MKII's which I would think are infinitely better, maybe I'm wrong?

WANT! So I'll only blow it up 3 times?

I thought it was fantastic.

Packed up the BHSE.

The tubes used were the SED Winged "C" tubes.

YouTube links are not working like they used to for me, they just show up as URLs. example:

Todd, I've had good luck with Lowe Pro bags and use a Off-Trail 2 when I need to take the whole rig or just a Topload Zoom 2 which can take the camera, 18-200 (attached) and the flash. Off Trail Topload

No shame there for sure. In general Moth/EC is very much to my liking.

FAN BOI!

Breakout cable?

No, our conversation from last week still stands. My "loaner" BHSE departs tomorrow for Virginia.

No, the description is correct. It is my understanding that USB cannot transmit higher sampling rates or bit depths without using a specific receiver chip which is cost prohibitive. S/PDIF can natively output and transmit higher bit depths and sampling rates as dictated by whatever transport is being used and the Buffalo chip when properly implemented can accept up to 24/192. At least that's what I've read and been told by the guys at Twisted Pear.

Nope, can't do it. The new DAC is not module based so the Hertsens will remain as is, which is to say excellent. I do hope to get a listen to the new DAC at some point though and do a little comparing.

Yes, the standalone DAC is based around the Sabre chip. The modules in the various amp lines will remain unchanged for the time being though.

Yes, I'll miss the left nut but it was the small one. I won't post anything till I actually get something done!

There are rear outputs on the BUDA.

Oh, I think you'll approve of the project I have underway. But thank you for the offer.

Gotta risk something in order to get much of anything Jacob, as I'm sure you know. And yes, stat of choice moving forward is the O2 MKII - this pair is all mine. Now, I need to get working on an amp...

Technically speaking I believe that this is Justin's amp, not Vicki's but there's not way I'm getting between Vicki/her handguns and Justin on this one. I lobbied Justin for months to get the amp up to the NYC meet knowing that it'd be a large, appropriate audience. Justin was going to try and make it himself but in the end the timing was just didn't work out so I guilted him into sending the amp. It was also meant to serve as a final shakedown of the custom packaging that Justin got specifically for this amp. Simply amazing. I managed to log a good 4hrs on it this morning while my wife and daughter were gone to visit some friends and I just kept going through CD after CD throwing everything and anything at it.

Thanks Todd, everything seems to be working great!

Nomination: Thread of The Year.

All I know is that the MKII and BHSE sound fantastic together. And that's not from meet impressions, it's what I'm listening to right now.
