padam Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I thought this great little device deserves a thread, the pre-order with an intro price is now on: HeadAmp Pico Upsampling USB DAC - Pre-Order Now at intro price - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadhead Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 very cool. I love Headamp stuff. I would be all over this if I had access to a reasonable online radio station at work. My work blocks the majority of them and the ones it doesn't the feeds generally suck. At this stage I just use my USB Transit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'm also using a transit, and its fairly miserable. But temporary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Damn. Pico DAC or a guitar, Pic DAC or a guitar.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 if you aren't going on tour with The Who, it's a fairly clear choice. Well, I don't really need the DAC as I already have Duet, but on the same token, I don't need to start up on a guitar either - I just want to. I guess the only real solution is to get both.

Salt Peanuts Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 my point was that, if you were touring with The Who, you wouldn't need a guitar because of that Pete guy. Ah. Bit slow on the uptake here today - been that kind of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrecked_porsche Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 The moment I saw that thread, I put in my order. I didn't even think for more than a couple of seconds... The original pico(with DAC and AMP) made me go from not liking the CD3000 to actually enjoying them. To me, it removed almost all traces of sibilance and increased instrument separation a little. The CD3000 has since been sold and the pico has gone back to my friend (borrowed it for some time). I felt that the amp section of the pico was kinda "weakish"... but this DAC only version should be interesting, paired with a proper gutsy amp, would probably be really, really nice. In my eyes, it sure as hell is value for money at only $300 bucks... I can't wait to get my Pico Dac and feed my headphones a highly neutricious meal...
