My take aways from the latest Podcast
There is a BasX CD Player
A100 headphone jack up front with "a surpise"
XPA-1 selling well and continues indefinitely
"Monster Atmos" in the XMC-1
Airmotiv speakers on the water, available 1st week August
There is an 15" sub, joining the 10" and the 12"
Emotiva have a new truck for transporting displays
Gen 3 XPA amps selling well, new cart layout soon.
Gen 3 XPA 14 Channel amp on the way
Cheers
Gary

Did we not hear something from Dan on the A-100 that there were settings inside that would change the output on the headphone amp? I think allow it to run full power and then limit the output if needed ?

I think allow it to run full power and then limit the output if needed ? Might you be referring to this post from Dan? The A-100 has a headphone output driven directly from the amplifier stage. It has a current liming resistor that can be overridden by a simple removable link or easily modified to optimize for a particular type of headphone load. It'll drive the pants off of low efficiency phones, like planars. Also, it's much quieter then the original A-100 and uses the new amplifier design too. Personally I'm chomping at the bit to get one of these for my Sennheisers. |

Yes, lots of power in a headphone amp is a very good thing and it now has the Lonnie approved touch for headphones. I have no doubt that the headphone guys will approve of it also ! |

I believe someone on HeadFi.org had modified one of the original A-100's for headphone use, so I do believe this could potentially be a big seller for the headphone crowd. |

The original was huge over at Headfi. Big seller there. |

Scaled down a bit from the drawing, but the Surprise is out of this world amazing.  |

Oh yeah, or vertically. It is scaled down. Since it uses matter anti matter annihilation. Headroom is endless. And it will play nice with your cyclotron too. |

There's obviously demand for CD players and maybe I abandoned the format too soon but I do wonder how much longer companies will continue designing and releasing them.

I followed the tutorial on there to add a headphone jack to the front of mine. Also the person I bought it from installed a four pin xlr cable to the speaker taps. Currently using it for my HE-6. Curious if the new version will have more juice. |

Personally I'm chomping at the bit to get one of these for my Sennheisers. Personally I know zero/zip/zilch about the headphone arena. What would be the potential performance differences of the new A-100 + a DAC vs. the DC-1 if you used both just for headphones? |
