    How are they different than the Auteur suede?

    Surprisingly similar (expected more differences). ES just a bit warmer & darker.

    Zach needs to make an African Bocote Burl Auteur just so I can say you love ABBA. =)

    If it's through Zach, it can't be this quick -- physically. My verite (in the lumber form?) is still waiting for being sanded.

    Looking forward to more impressions on the 3F. Maybe you could delay releasing the Verite until Tuesday night.

  My post (to a loaner thread) was updated to a completely wrong thread (freya review) just before. Of course not intended. WTF?

    People poo poo them, but of all the power cable manufacturers at least Shunyata and Audioquest put out stuff like this showing real results. Here’s a similar video made by a random guy: https://youtu.be/rM1CRHciEsE.

    Okay, I am obviously an idiot but if it is plugged in parallel then shouldn't it still be picking up the "dirty line"? Or is that thing just a trick and its not properly grounded till its grounded using the other cable?

    Seems like one of those plug into the wall socket & it will reduce noise accessories, like the PS audio noise harvester. I think iFi might have a similar product as well.

    New entries into the R2R (or multibit) market are always welcome! If I understood correctly, the D1 was a competent product?

    Yeah. D1 was not bad. Kinda normal sounding 9038pro. I am just concerned that multibit/r2r needs totally different skill sets and know-how. We'll see. lol

  DHL took only two days in delivering dac from china to usa. Insanely fast. How can it be possible without paying for premium services?

    Short answer though is that DHL has been here longer than the others and they have a vast network. Your item most certainly shipped from a town with a DHL airhub.

    That makes a lot of sense. Btw mine was free shipping. No idea about how much the store charged. Likely fraction of dealer margin went there.
