    When I was running it, the error light was always on unless I was actually sending music to the DAC. I was using coax input from Eitr

    Perfect...that was the info i was looking for, how the error light functioned... was unable to locate the Amethyst manual, saw it mentioned in the pavane manual that the light would be on unless it received a signal but was unsure it that also applied here... must have a bad bnc to rca cable... will investigate further and try usb. Thanks for the response to my somewhat silly/stupid question i may have jumped the gun on.

    I haven't seen any listening impressions for weeks. Where is the loaner at?

    Due to some unforeseen circumstances, @jexby will be holding on to the Amethyst for an undetermined amount of time. I'll update this thread when we can get the loaner tour back on schedule.

    Amethyst received a few days ago. Haven't had time to open it up and listen yet but should be able to over the weekend.

    Fedex screwed up delivery yesterday: the tracking site shows "unknown recipient -> return to sender". I think they inhaled too much smoke in LA..
    @philipmorgan arranged to have it delivered tomorrow.

    However, I'm traveling for work all next week and won't have much time to listen to it until I can ship it this Saturday.
    @Luckbad : should I drop it off tomorrow and get it back when I return from travel, instead?

    Ack, thought I pulled out of this loaner. I actually bought one a while back so I don't even need it. Might as well keep it yourself until it needs to be returned home.
