The Venturecraft stuff is readily available in Japan, but in the USA, not so much. There may be stuff available in other markets that I don't know about. The issue appears to still be the Apple certification/licensing process.right - this I sort of was aware of. heard good things about the Fostex but not so much of the rest... hmm!but there are ones that work with the Camera Connection Kit like the Leckerton... no new ones in this category?thanks

I have a Leckerton shipping to me tomorrow...can anyone recommend a good little cable to use with the Camera Connection Kit?Sorry, I wasn't perfectly happy with the Fostex HP-P1 mids. Beautiful build and unit though!
Hello, I do have a new upsampling DAC/amp in the works. It will have USB only, although I do plan some following models which also include optical and coaxial inputs. With the digital volume control, there will be no need to modify the gain of the amp for high-sensitivity IEMs. Unfortunately I can't give any more details about the release date, but as soon as they are available, I'll be posting that information on the website.

hi - care to elaborate on the mids? that is like my focus when choosing gear.actually, would you mind doing a comparison between the Leckerton and the Fostex when you have it? from memory might be enough?really wish there was more info about the maybe new Leckerton product. xmos and all that sounds too good to be true...
