Not sure if you'll be checking out any computer stuff, but I'm interested in the new Intel DH57JG 1156 mini-itx motherboard -- I think this will make the perfect HTPC platform.

I was at CES for one day last year and I am sure you are having a ball. I am curious about the latest from QNAP or Thecus on NAS setups for home/audio, about the reception Amarra software % hardware is getting in any rooms you have visited or generally, and also whether the new Weiss DAC202 is present. And if you happen to see any really cool headphones, that would be fun to hear about as well!

Cheers, Al

Chris,

Will we be hearing more about the new ASUS audio driver that you mentioned?

Chris,

There's a new poster here, rambling about some revolutionary new cable design that will make all others sound distorted in comparison.

He doesn't mention a name, but claims the distributor will be releasing his work into the wild at CES.

I have no idea if there's any substance to this, but if you do hear some buzz about a new cable, you might want to check it out, just in case.

Chris, please check out the new Weiss ATT 202 Reference Passive Attenuator.

It accepts both RCA and XLR connections, and possible even will convert.
Rear panel also has dip switches for Impedance Correction.

If it will take RCA in and convert to XLR out, I'd buy one tomorrow, except for it's near $5k price. uugghh, what a buzzkill.
