headphone amp question
Agree with the Woo recommendation. I've got a 22 and swear by it (works great with my T1s and my LCD2s, with some tube rolling for each). The 6 / 6 SE has lots of fans too. 
need advice for budget preamp for Rega p3-24...
RE: the GCPH, I see a few listed now a little above your price target, but I think they can go for around your budget (they run about $1k new). Apologies - I neglected to price check before posting!

Who's Enjoying the Pure Music App Besides Me??
It is a bit buggy - but it sounds good enough that I can deal with the growing pains. I've also emailed with the developer, and he's very responsive/friendly/helpful. They release updates pretty often as well.But yeah, I would guess 1 gig may be t... 
Who's Enjoying the Pure Music App Besides Me??
I've been using it for about a year. The memory play mode is awesome for me - have you tried that? It can take a while to pre-load songs (especially large high-res files) but for me it works wonders. It also helps keep network traffic from interru...

Which DAC works best for PS3 and is it posible
The PS3 can downmix multi-channel digital audio to 2 channel and send it out to the DAC of your choice. But in my system, the downmixes generally sound crappy - not the quality of the sound, but the center channel gets so buried in the mix that it...
