    I thought @kevnin made the cut? Also I forget, do DAC loaners have a slightly different loan period?

    For R2R DACs, people were complaining that you couldn’t even warm them up in five days. We extended the duration for a few DACs due to this. I don’t know much about this DAC, but I haven’t seen complaints that it takes a week to warm up.

    We're removing the five person cap on this, but still keeping it to well-established members.

    Going out to @famish99 this morning via FedEx. Went to ship out this weekend but unfortunately the site was closed for the memorial so I couldn't get the address information. Sorry for the delay!

    UPDATE - Shows arriving in TX on Friday!

    Sorry, I gotta drop outta this loaner. Wife and rented a place in Colorado for a month, might stay for a few years if we like it and his likely move is going to mean my speaker system is living in a moving truck or something at the point when I'd have this DAC. A shame as I just got the MiniDSP DDRC24 replaced with a diyaudiostore ACN and gained some transparency in the system and was looking forward to hearing a different DAC.

    @famish99: execute "skip Philip and move on to next person on loaner list" protocol.

    Enjoy Colorado! A friend of mine lived in Chicago and took a similar exploratory trip. Almost 15 years later they're still in CO...

    I unfortunately have to drop out of this loaner. I'm going to be out of the house too much and just don't have time for any meaningful feedback.

    Please send it on to @E_Schaaf
