    Actually that wouldn't be a bad idea. I'll patiently wait.

    Why the hell should DACs have settings for this crap? Just use the one that's more neutral sounds best without using something like a minimum phase filter (looking at you Meier and C-Entrace even though the Meier shit sounds okay with headphones) or NOS.

    You should rewrite all impressions to match the broken and nonsensical English used on AGD's site.

    "Treble was tested to most neutral, better detail, punch, dynamic and sound stage image.

    Warmer version sound design based on our bass test, warmer sound present.

    I was applied the modules design, I was design the DIR modules for the SPDIF process, and the DSP module for the data process, and the CAST module or others for the analog process, was tested."

    I'd read those reviews.

    That would be awesome. Actually, has anyone invented a translator yet to take English and convert it to more hyped Chi-fi? Cheers

    It's so goober audiophiles can change things, intently listen for tiny differences, and furiously stroke their weeners while at it.

    What if I can't trust AGD to make the call on what DSP/PLL stuff sounds best anyway? I'd rather have the option to tweak to something better, especially if easy like jumpers. Or just not bother and get a plug-and-play solution that sounds better out of the box.

    Just hypotheticals.

    Yeah I liked the customization options, and in case of AGD they actually did make an audible difference even to my pedestrian ears.

    Since you seem to prefer NOS, hope you enabled that mode: IPS0 - ON, IPS1 - ON.

    I quite liked the M11 NOS mode.

    The more configuration potential ... the more opportunity for various parties (especially fanboys) to claim "you didn't have it configured right" when they don't like the way something is received. And when there are options, for legitimate reasons, it's nice to have a recommended/default setting that the manufacturer clearly believes is best.

    Should have my rig back up and running by the end of this week, so the timing on this should work out to be just right.
