  @warrenpchi Don't forget a badge for me!  I was missed being added to the Attendees list.  I pm'd @third_eye that I had posted in #101 that I plan to attend.  Thanks!

 
I gotcha!

  And PS- I wrote the above posting in a bit of a rush so if something didn't come across right or doesn't make sense then let me know so I can edit it.

 
It's all good.

Bought my ticket.   Will be there for my first Head-Fi meet.  Bringing my girlfriend so hopefully I can get her off of Youtube listening and show her what she is missing with some good cans and source files.  Really looking forward to trying the Oppo PM-3 and Audeze EL-8 powered by my RWAK240 to upgrade my work rig and move away from IEMs.

I'll have the fiio x3-2 with me.  I'll probably be demoing my system with that as the primary source.  I'll have an AK4399 dac with me and so you can compare the sound of that external dac to the onboard cs4398.  to me, the onboard xtal^Hcirrus dac is fabulous.  no complaints here.
 
the phones out, though, seems to have some dc offset issues; at least my dc coupled preamp (alpha10) shows clicks as I vary volume and that only happens when there is offset.  that's on the phones-out.  the line-out seems better, but there's a reason I want to run the phones-out into my preamp (hint: remote control hacking) :wink:
 
so, if someone wants to bring a dac by my table and compare that dac to the onboard fiio dac, that's fine with me.  coax-out only, no opto; but I do have an spdif switch that will convert both opto and coax to both, so we can convert if you need to.
 
I'm really happy with the (admittedly primitive) remote control I hacked into the fiio.  even for just song pause and skip, its worth having.  I'm not aware of anyone else doing this yet so I think its a first, and I'll have it working this saturday for those that want to check it out.

I'll be coming, to learn as much as possible. I'm very excited, it will be my first audio meet-up. I'll be picking the minds of anyone friendly enough to help me steer thru my next upgrade path with CIEMS and cables.

I'm really hoping Chrishimself will be there.

The meet will be an awesome place to learn more and help you regarding your next upgrade path regarding CIEMs and cables.  Others will definitely help you out, but you can always look for me and I'll be happy to assist you in any way that I can.
 
Looking forward to seeing you (and everyone) there!

Didn't know if I had to register for the wikia thing but I went ahead and did it. Now I gotta hope to get there in time.

  I'll be showing this rig at the SF meet and big thanks to Aurender for providing an N100H (and Flow, not pictured) for the meet! 
 

Ethan, how do you like the N100H?
