So close to buying a Pico Power or a Slim! Thinking about powering some SE846's, connected to my iPod 5.5G... how can we get HeadAmp 30-pin LOD cables?
And what's the recommended charger?

axtranWe don't make 30-pin LOD cables, we used to sell ones from Whiplash and were selling them at like 20% of original MSRP on ebay. but i think we are out. still ebay should have tons of stuff like that

JustinWilsonThanks Justin!! Any chance a Pico Power could be fitted with a wired and balanced 2.5mm output jack (TRRS)?

axtranNope, you'd need a 2nd Pico Power in the same box for it do any good.

JustinWilson @axtran you can likely find a 2.5mm TRRS to 3.5mm TRS jack, balanced vs Single End topology is a pointless debate. Balanced outputs are only better if you truly need the extra power and if said power delivered by a well thought out design. Design and implementation mean more for sound quality than just the output connector alone. With the Pico Power you'll find it's design is phenomenal. The quality of sound is impressive, the power output is more than that of a lot of the balanced out put connections you see on Digital Audio Players and/or Dac/Amp combos and it measures with less overall distortion too
For your IEMS you don't really need the added power that a good balanced design can offer, thus I'm sure @JustinWilson will agree that the Pico Power will do quite well. Though @JustinWilson for iems specifically, how does the Pico Slim compare to the Pico Power?
