    I have the unit now, doesn't sound broken to me, listening via i2s from a Sonore streamer. I have a switch so can jump between sources, Yggdrasil is my other one.

    I will not give you grief if you like it. I used an A/B switcher between it and Amethyst as well. I'm also ridiculously familiar with my digital transport, amp, and HPs these days too. Curious to see what you think and get a second data point!

    I'm not saying I like it, just doesn't seem broken. I definitely hear the smoothing trend you talked about and that's with very little listen time. I'll post a bit in the other thread when I listen some more.

    Curious what you think of OS and NOS mode, as well of if phase reversal helps at all in any cases.

    I saw that too, when the unit was here, but thought it added a nice, unique touch.

    Safe travels and be well on your voyage young Pontus, for I never got to know thee...

    Okay, so realistically I'm just more pissed the tour got cancelled mid-way, even with the power supply thing. Wonder if it will ever be restarted?
