    hey guys, yeah I'd be totally down, especially if I got to hang with Adam and listen to some shot. Icing on the cake. My only limitation is I'm out of town until July 31, so I'm not sure if timing will work for errbody. If that works, then yeah I'll listen to it in August for a bit w/ @drfindley

    If @Wfojas is okay with it, then we're okay. Maybe we can even send it to @drfindley close to the end of july if @brencho can't receive yet

    Yeah, that works. Just give it as close as you can to the end of the month (July not Aug, lol).

    Just dropped off the mutec loaner at the post office the unit is on its way to @AustinValentine

    I ordered a pinkfaun i2s bridge and I also have a custom i2s input module from metrum.

    So thanks to this loaner I discovered killing jitter is real important. I hope the i2s bridge will exceed the mutec 3 s/pdif convertor, by not even converting in the first place :).

    Mutec 1.2 arrived unmolested from Jun. Came with the BNC cable, Power Cable, and a bunch of packing peanuts.

    This still needs to be back to @Wfojas by the 31st right? (Really, by Saturday, because the 31st is a Sunday). I'll probably need to get this going back on Thursday morning for it to arrive on Saturday.

    I put in the order for Modi Multibit early this morning and paid for Priority Mail shipping, so there should be one day or so of overlap for listening. I'll try to get some impressions of any differences I hear.

    It goes to @drfindley , I think. Ask him for specifics? We can slide the week.

    By the way, anyone that hasn't done so already, please send $10 to [email protected] for the insurance fund. Name of this loaner plus your handle in the description section please.

    I'm pretty sure that I sent $15 your way on June 15th - not sure if I put my name and loaner in the description though!

    Yeah, I do believe I received from you - I've bought enough hand-me-downs from you to recognize your Paypal. :)

    This is more directed at anyone who hasn't done it yet.

    @sphinxvc I sent you a convo earlier, because I was wondering if I needed to fund the loaner. I didn't get a reply, so I ended up giving extra insurance money to USPS.

    I just sent $10 into the insurance fund right now.

    I must have missed it, sorry. If you guys have already shipped out, don't worry about the insurance fund, unless you simply want to.

    Hey guys, FYI, I've got an Intona coming in case we want to A/B the Mutec and the Intona while you have the loaner.

    I'm sending up a Wyred4Sound Recovery to @brencho too. Tell me when, so you guys can hear all three together. Would love to borrow the Intona also, to compare, if you are willing.

    Nice man, thanks that's excellent! Your beauty is exceeded only by your generosity.

    I'm back home on Sunday evening so anytime as of August 1 would work well.

    On its way to Brencho. What a cool little unit. I'll have some thoughts and impressions that I'll post with the Modi Multibit when I get around to sorting out my notes.

    Thanks for the loaner!

    Alright, just looking for confirmation here that this is back with @Wfojas. @brencho?

    If not, let's get it back to him ASAP. This one is closed.
