That looks like a very well engineered piece with some great reviews/accolades to back it up. Scott
Thanks Scott, I'm hoping. I am happy with my Schiit Fulla 2 for desktop but wanted something portable, and small. I'm hoping with the three or four reviews I have seen on this piece it should work well. Tim

Yeah for $79 shipped plus the additional 10% off I figured unless it shows up non functional it will be worth it.

Harmony 950Bought this from Amazon as a refurbished unit for $150. I definitely already like this remote as much as the Harmony 650. The Harmony 950 is the Harmony Elite remote without the hub. The 950/Elite remotes are most definitely way faster and don't feel sluggish in waiting for the IR commands to be sent, and I say this in comparing to the 650. I have found that the speed of the 950 has fixed my only problem with the new V3 HDMI board, in that the IR commands don't take too much time in changing the XMC-1 input for my Comcast X1 STB. Before it seemed like my TV was trying to handshake with the XMC-1 before the IR input command was sent by my Harmony 650 and timing out, now this new 950/Elite remote sends all the "Activity" commands practically instantaneous. Anyhow, the remote is quite intuitive to learn with fewer direct command buttons than the 650, but I'm finding it to be just as ergonomically easy to learn. Highly recommended.

I bought one of these after swearing off Harmony remotes but I have to concur that this remote has worked very well for me. The hub remotes do not work in my set up. Tried a Harmony Elite with hub and a NEEO which is also hub based. The NEEO was garbage (they rolled out a product that that was not ready for release) if you ask me but was the nicest looking remote I've seen. Good to know that the 950 will work well with the V3 board when I get around to upgrading to it.

Integrating my dbx 286s into my workflow. Very impressed with it. Very powerful. Getting the just right settings. It will take a little bit unlike the new printer I got. So easy just installed to the network and updated the firmware. Silly easy. This one a bit more work, but worth it. Note that was with my Canon SL-2 Camera audio hence all the echo, sorry about that. I am still learning to get the just right settings.

I ordered a matched quad of kt120 tubes for my Amp. I've been using the original power tubes for over 5 years now. Figured I am on borrowed time. I'll put the new ones in and keep the originals as emergency spares.

I just bought two of these Fiio i1 Apple ios compatible headphone amps, one for each of my daughters. My oldest was complaining tonight that she can't find her earbuds and they are so stupid for not accepting regular headphones now through the lightning input...so these made sense. www.fiio.com/i1
