    If Marv's okay with it, I'll do the tail end review after him before we sell it.

    I would be very interested in this if it is possible for me to jump in as a contributor. I've always wanted to try the ACSS connection into my Audio-GD Master 10 stereo amp. This would be a very interesting comparison with my Vinshine R2R REF, and Holo Spring Level 3 with Singxer SU-1.

    I feel bad dropping from the first loaner i was allowed to join, at the time i was looking around at different dacs and once this came up thought why not give it a listen, ended up buying Gungnir Multibit.

    Yes. Not a problem. PM me or @sphinxvc

    Don't feel bad. Dropping out allows other people to get their hands on it faster. At this point, the S19 seems like a circus freakshow. I want to get my hands on it to see if it really sounds as purported.

    Please drop me from the list if that is alright. I'm curious but I know I will never buy it at this point. I'm not experienced enough with DACs to make an in depth analysis on what kind of shit it sounds like other than just plain shit.

    EDIT: Scratch that, if the tour does go on I'll try it. This will be a learning experience of how not to make a DAC. Although I'm also perfectly okay with it being thrown into the Pacific when you guys in SoCal are done, so long as there is video. ;)

    I don't have a particularly good way to hook it up via USB, but perhaps the S19 fed with a good USB source won't be horrible? Curious to see what you find, or if you agree with me at all.

    Okay, I've been eyeballing the S19 posts here like a rubbernecker trying to get a glimpse at a car wreck on the interstate. I have a macabre curiosity to hear this thing. If there's still room to fit me in on the loaner here, I'd like to join. Cheers!

    If anything it's at least a good learning experience, or so I keep telling myself.

    Too bad it's not in Europe, otherwise I could see how it fares in my big DAC write-up (didn't get around to posting this yet).
    Think less "Marvey's DAC chart of awesomeness" more "Ben's Delta Sigma web of horror" :D
