    If posssible to hit Canada up on this one, I would love to, but no worries if not. I’m seriously considering buying one of these or one of the other ifi DACs as an alternative in my system - I’m liking what they’ve done with their cheaper Burr Brown implementations, so looking forward to hearing what they’re capable of with their higher end stuff. Detailed impressions are no problem. Again, no foul if Canada is a no go though. Also would only be a 2-channel evaluation.

    Put me on the sub list, since I don't post comprehensive reviews (I mostly share in PM, verbally or as answers to direct questions) :oops:

    List is closed.

    $1500 insurance (SBAF will self insure the rest from its insurance reserve)
    UPS or FedEx Only. No USPS. I think you guys already know the reason why.
    Signature release. No duh.

    So, who's the first? If that's me, who should I let know my address?

    Once purr1n (our guess) points his finger at the first person, we'll need a PM with shipping address.

    Where does everyone live again? Let's go east to west?

    Also, I believe this thing is also a streamer - just a nice reminder for someone to check that function out. I'm horrible at advanced features. Too much of an old-fart and too rigid.

    I'm in Philly, so not sure where that places me in respect to the rest of the team. Cheers

    I believe I might be receiving the loaner from iFi directly. Will be shipped out after that time.

    Alright then. @ChaChaRealSmooth send us your address via PM please and we'll start. Our HQ is located in UK, but the tour loaner will be sent from USA we believe. Is there anyone from EU on the list btw.?

    As for Pro iDSD in general, it's a complex machine loaded with a ton of different functions. As purr1n said, it has a network component inside, three different operation modes and a bunch of other stuff you probably already heard or read elsewhere. If there are some questions or assistance of any sort is needed, we're here to help. Other than that, we'll stay away from tour participants to have the whole thing healthy.
