I'm not sure if I'm being entirely daft here. I cannot find any detailed reviews of the 2007 headroom portable desktop longest product name portable amp..
I've tried forum posts here, and elsewhere requesting review info, requesting if people have seen, touched it and haven't come up with anything. I'm not sure if the people having been at the trade shows that you no doubt have showed this mysterious product at aren't posting or seeing my requests, but it remains elusive to say the least.
It's a fringe product to be sure, but it would fill my needs rather well. I want to use my HD650, RS1 and K701s on the road with a Korg DSD, DAT, and various 16/44|48 sources, while sometimes being home and using it on my desk(s) with various Mac systems. I like the idea of quality + batteries, a lot. The problem is the only other product like this I can find (amp+dac(toslink/coax SPDIF) is the iBasso linked by a forum member here, and the price difference is well, obvious to say the least. I'm not saying yours is over priced, I'm mearly pointing out the only two products I can find seem to exist at polar opiates of one pricing scale, and while the iBasso has favorable reviews the Headroom product has bubkiss (thats a word right?).
I want to support the Midwest, give me a reason to. Please.
p.s to be frank, you went seemingly "balls out" with all the parts in the portable, yet went with the "home" dac, and didn't make it modular - what gives?
p.s.s my father grew up on a cow farm in duluth - I know terms like " hitch in the giddy-up" do I get some kind of generationally inbreed discount?
thanks in advance.
