This maybe a very stupid question but I'd like to ask it anyway.

I'd really like to have a small and portable dac/headphone amp and I'd also like to be able to use it with mah stereo, for various reasons; the obvious being that I'm not made out of money and would like less electronic gear in my apartment.

Are there any valid reasons to think this would be a hysterically bad idea? enlighten this noob please

That being said, I'm aware that the signal is being amplified obviously but is it THAT bad? are there any sane alternatives?

The stereo is an ageing Sony 730ES and a pair of JBL 4408's so don't tell me I wont benefit from a detailed dac :D

Nope, it works great. It's really light, so you might want to velcro it down when it's in your rack tho :)

Welcome to HC baijxz (doesn't that name just roll off the tongue)

I don't see why not, I'm going to be doing the same thing when I finally get one. Nice and small doing double duty as a home/porty dac/amp.

A number of people are already using it that way, including the man himself, Justin.

YAAYH!!! YAYH! YAYH! :dance:

Am I off to burn my money then...

oh and thanks for the welcome :D

it seems these fora are a bit more opinionated, in a more humorous and technical way than what I'm used to. i like it.

is the prebuy still open or what?, I find it pretty hard to scurvy trough 100+ pages to try and find something intelligible.

At this point its more of an order line (as the product is shipping, although shipping in small batches), os if you want one you just put your name down and then await further instructions.

Get yourself on the H-F order thread then go into hibernation for a few weeks. Once you wake up, spring will be in full bloom, the birds will be singing in blue skies and you'll have a new toy to frolic in the fields with.

Ah, life just doesn't get any better than that *sigh* :angel:
