Just for the sake of correct physics - Not electrons travel that fast
in the circuit but the propagating ELMG field (signals) which moves
them. Electrons in a conductor are actually quite slow.

Yes I know :-) I was simply using shorthand...

While we're at the nitpicking, also remember that the electrons travel
in the opposite direction than the electric current. :D

preferred route for the ultimate transport solution (OK not ultimate

Thanks, John for explaining that. I found the section in the USB spec
that deals with async communications (not an easy section to
understand). Does the Wavelength DAC require you to install special USB

Phil, I figured that the clock in the Touch would not be as good as the
clock in the V-Link from a dedicated audio company - so pulling the
clock out to the V-Link (using async) seemed the best course of action.
The netbook should be

This is starting to sound like the routine at the end of the movie

I disagree.
I think the Caiman's headphone section and amp are quite good.
I've used it with AKG K702 and Sennheiser HD 650 headphones.

It could be that my Grados are not that good to begin with (despite
some positive reviews). I should probably try Caiman with AKGs

Ditto.
I've used it with Goldring DR150s, and things sound pretty fine.

In my opinion, the AKG K701s or K702s are a great value and sound
