    Received today from @Syzygy. I haven’t had a chance to open the box yet, but I will later tonight.

    @rhythmdevils Can I get in on this for Michigan? I don't think I will like this more than my Spring 3 KTE, but there may only be one way to know for sure.

    I'll be shipping the loaner to @MisterRogers either tomorrow or Monday. He'll be out of town until Tuesday, so I want to make sure he's at home to sign for it when it arrives.

    I'm glad so many folks have had a chance to put ears on this version in a low stress way! I think the impressions so far, and those incoming, should help a LOT of folks considering what they want in a near-end-game-ish DAC with different flavors.

    Just received and warming up/listening now. I missed the UPS guy by 10 minutes on Saturday! Very interesting so far.

    On its way to @Tchoupitoulas today. I have to gather all my notes and will post impressions this week. There are really only 2-3 consistent observations that I could come up with.

    The Yggdrasil has landed! The LiM unit arrived safely just now and is working fine.

    Re. "less is more" - I've been telling my wife for years that size doesn't matter. If the LiM bests my Bifrost 2 - which now looks tiny by comparison - I might have a hard time justifying an upgrade...

    I'm going to pass on this loaner simply due to timing - I'm going to be traveling for the next few weeks and won't have time to do a decent evaluation.

    @Tchoupitoulas please move along to @dematted :)

    Want me to move you down the list? Geographics are no problem if you are delayed like this. I don't care, I'd rather you get to hear it I you want to.

    If you don't mind shipping it back to NY after it returns to CA/WA, sure I'd love to hear it. Or I suppose dematted could hold it for extra long, then it'd be local when I get back on 7/15.

    Dealers choice, but yes I am still interested to listen and share some thoughts.

    @dematted is out of this one because he has loaners in possession and is not responding to pm's. If you don't play by the rules, you can't play the game.

    sorry


    I've put you after @atomicbob which should give you plenty of time.

    The LiM is on its way to @Vansen. Thanks for letting me participate in this loaner, impressions to follow soon.

    UPS delivered the LIM to the wrong address, but my neighbor just hand delivered the package to me. After this, I'm putting my self on a self imposed loaner ban until I can get my prior two loaners impressions up, too. Hopefully soon, as the modded LCD-X deserves attention.

    Received the LIM from Vansen today. Haven't opened yet, but the box looks in reasonable condition considering how well traveled it is.
