padam Posted March 9, 2009 Report 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
Dreadhead Posted March 9, 2009 Report 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.
aardvark baguette Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I'm also using a transit, and its fairly miserable. But temporary.
Salt Peanuts Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Damn. Pico DAC or a guitar, Pic DAC or a guitar....
Salt Peanuts Posted March 9, 2009 Report 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 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.
Hopstretch Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 You don't think Alke would be better, as well as aptonymous if correctly pronounced?
tyrion Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Is someone getting Al and I confused, I wonder why?
Grahame Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_T83CSX1CY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ULZwzF9s5A Next, you'll be wanting to go to Starbucks
LFF Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Damn, I really want one but I am too poor at the moment.
Iron_Dreamer Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Damn, I really want one but I am too poor at the moment. Doesn't help that Aaron and I are trying to funnel all your cash into a new 'puter
Cankin Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 I'm too poor to get one too, but I think I'll be happy with my upcoming gamma 1
wrecked_porsche Posted March 10, 2009 Report 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...
