    If I can partake in it, I'd like to.

    Pasadena, CA

    I can give a few impressions of it versus a few other high end & more expensive DACs I tried.

    Id like to get in on it, if possible. It would be a great contrast to my Gungnir A2.

    I am actually quite interested in this due to its clock I/O capability and your description of it with rock/pop music, but am not confident enough it’ll beat Yggdrasil to blind buy. Would like to try it as a loaner.

    Me? If so, I’d appreciate it. Massachusetts here. Will share with @porkfriedpork and compare to Lavry Black, Metrum, and Hugo TT if it comes in early February.

    You can drop me. Just realized it's balanced out only, and my amp is a Lyr 3.

    ZD can set it up at his office, invite me over and we'll promise to only play Slayer music through it.

    Just curious. When is the estimated start of the tour? I have Adagio through Feb 28 and would love to compare the two if the timing works out.

    Sorry to be way late to the party, but if the Convert 2 wants to come to Philly and make a run up the Art Museum steps Rocky style and then go get a real cheesesteak I'd be happy to host it for a few days. Have also been seriously considering getting one to replace my Holo Spring L3 after hearing all the great feedback linked the the Golden Schlong award. Cheers

    Got this starting with @skem. From this, we should be able to get the Convert in your hands while you have the Adagio.
