    It seems silly to ship from CO to MA and back to CO.
    Please withdraw me from this loaner.

    @ChaChaRealSmooth probably good to reorganize the list based on geography

    Just to going have Josh ship the unit to Pork then Pork to me as that makes the most sense geographically speaking, Maine to Mass. to Penn. Then I'll send it back west to the Mile High Bois. Thanks again for the loaner and glad we got this all worked out.

    You think you can tell me what to do and I will just do it? Have you personally driven a UPS van back and forth and figured out the most efficient route? Are you some type of amateur cartographer?

    I used an entire fleet of drones, a bejeweled 16th century Sextant, and the knowledge I acquired graduating top of my class with an advanced degree in astrology to determine that most efficient shipping route is, in fact, east to west.

    I don't think you took into account that UPS only makes right turns.

    :p

    Just to let @ChaChaRealSmooth know the progress.
    (@brencho sent the unit to me on behalf of @purr1n )

    It seems something happened en route to my place. Hope the unit is not damaged at all.

    Nothing big. Just a train derailment.

    Still better than a Max 8 cargo plane.

    Thanks for letting me know @Vtory. I'll message Matrix and explain the situation to them.

    That message doesn’t necessarily mean the train carrying the Matrix was the one that derailed, just that there is a delay caused by a derailment.

    That is true, but I want to be transparent with Matrix since they did work with us to make the loaner happen (and have been a pleasure to work with). I don't want to assume that the train with the X-Sabre Pro is fine if that's actually not the case here.

    All things considered, I'm kind of wondering where this goes in the "interesting emails" list for the Matrix rep (Arthur).

    All this talk about the X-Sabre Pro loaner inspired me to acquire the DAC. After catching up with post for measurements on other DACs that have come through my lab on loaner tours this DAC will also receive the standard measurement suite. Suffice it to say I never dreamed I'd be listening to a Sabre DAC ever again:

    Frankly, this presents my (inner) psychological process very well when I first saw XSP thread:
