Excellent! I'm trying to work on some additional goodies... we'll see if I can pull it off in time...
I'm ordering up some extra apple camera connection kits to have here for folks that don't have the right connections with them when they come to demo.... I had everything for android devices since that's what I'm using... but didn't have extra apple stuff... will have that fixed by the time the get together rolls around... sorry about that for last time :(

T-minus 6 days and counting!
If you're going to be in town, come on by to have a listen to some of the cool headphone stuff currently available... it looks like a few cool things coming along from attendees in addition to what I've got spread out throughout the first floor of the house :)
I'm going to try to have a few laptops setup and ready to go for anyone that forgets their music... try to remember a flash drive, memory stick, portable hard drive, etc. at least :)
Again, please PM, email or phone me to get the particulars and to RSVP so I know you're coming. Thanks!

Well I got some cool toys here on time at the last minute and others didn't quite make it because of shipping issues....
I put this post up on head-fi the other day, but worth re-posting.... if you are within driving distance and interested in headphones, come on by and check it out.... there will likely be some stereo stuff as well since a couple folks coming are interested in checking out Devialet and discussing it with attendees that have heard it...
anyways, here are the details:

there's always lots of little things with these kinds of events that you always forget until right before the event...
I did get an extra couple apple camera connection kits (including lightning to USB) so folks can stream from their phones to these various devices... some folks at the last event wanted to use their device but didn't have the right connections. I'll be able to handle those oops moments on both android and apple now... if you haven't already, make sure you grab the Onkyo HF player on apple devices and the USB Audio Player Pro app on adroid devices... my current favorites for outputting high rez files to external USB DACs...
Stations as I see them now (at least to start before folks start swapping stuff around):
Station #1:
- jtwrace's guest of honor table featuring all Auralic stack (Aries, Vega, Taurus)
Station #2:
- PS Audio DirectStream DSD DAC
- Oppo 83SE for those needing to spin disks
- Bakoon HPA-21 current headphone amp
- Red Wine Audio Signature 16 integrated amp with headphone amp added
- WyWires Silver Series USB cable
- Tellurium Q Black Diamond ICs
- PS Audio P10 Power Regenerator
Station #3:
- Abbingdon Music Research (AMR) DP-777 DAC
- Oppo 83 for those needing to spin disks
- Bakoon HPA-01 current headphone amp

- WyWires Silver Series USB cable
- Tellurium Q Ultra Black or WyWires Blue Series ICs
- PS Audio P10 Power Regenerator
Station #4: "The Existing Desktop Options"
- B.M.C. Audio PureDAC DAC/headphone amp
- Fostex HP-A8C DAC/headphone amp
- Fostex HP-A4 DAC/headphone amp
- Sennheiser HDVD 800 DAC/headphone amp
- PS Audio P3 Power Regenerator
Station #5: "The New Desktop Options"
- Unison Research SH DAC/headphone amplifier
- PS Audio Sprout DAC/phono/integrated amp/bluetooth/headphone amp
Station #6: "The iFi Audio World & other portable solutions"
- iFi Audio's "little big rig" consisting of Micro iUSBPower, Micro iDAC, Micro iTube, Micro iCAN
- iFi Audio Micro iDSD (although being portable that might wander around the house)
- iFi Audio Nano iDSD & Nano iCAN
- Fostex HP-V1 tube battery powered headphone amp
- various iFi Audio USB cables and included ICs, stock power supply stuff and some WyWires RED adapter ICs
I figure the headphones can float around to various stations with cables being swapped as necessary where balanced connections versus 1/4" jacks are offered. I'll put some out at each station to begin, but they will likely shift around.
Anyone who brings stuff along, we'll figure out the best way to integrate it into a specific station to make it all work together...
Let me know if there are any questions about any of this.

Once again, it is just to far away of any of us AudioSyndrome guys to join you. :(
Hey, when BobM gets a place in the Raleigh area we can all come down and crash and with him whenever there is a NC G2G. :D
