    I don't need it quickly. I can wait.

    In that case, I'll gladly jump on the end - DAC Talk II shows me I need to expand my horizons.

    Will co-ordinate timing with @msommers .

    DAC has arrived safe and sound. Just letting the temperature normalize before I plug it in. Hope to get some initial listening in this evening.

    Thanks again @Jinxy245 for your persistence with the FedEx folks.

    Sent this along to @msommers this morning. Should get there on Tuesday. I'll try and get my impressions up over the weekend sometime.

    Despite a signature being required from UPS, the morons left it at the front door in -30C. I'll get it up and running tomorrow evening once properly warm.

    Hmm, last post was almost two months ago, so can I assume the dac1421 tour is over ?

    If somebody are interested in keeping the dac1421, I can offer a special price of USD750 for that tour unit. Otherwise I would like it to be returned, easiest would be to ship it to the US Reseller, Mod House Audio, assuming the unit is still in the US....

    @purr1n Could you measure it with the averlab before returning it? I will be happy if the result is posted!

    PS. Personally suspecting amir borked 1421 measurements too like he did with schiit. But no data to back up this thought.

    Any chance this could make a pit stop in Denver? I'll share with any of the local crew that want to hear it, then send it on home to @soekris.

    I have the Gungnir Multibit A2, and I'm quite happy with it. It occurs to me that I have very little time spent with DACs like the 1421, and want to broaden my base of knowledge and experience on these, as well as evaluate the Gungnir Multibit as my DAC choice. (Which is why I signed up for the Matrix X-Saber pro loaner as well.)

    Anyone else in the Denver area want to listen to this?

    It's going back, if not.
