    I have this now, @sphinxvc and I will send it out to @Clemmaster at the end of the week. I tried it Sunday evening, and noticed it needed to be toasty.

    Dropped you, @uncola.

    Damn though, what happened to the ~20 people who voted for the Musette in the Loaner Candidates thread?

    Do people vote for shit JUST to vote for shit? With no thought to the consequences? Oh wait...

    Edit: And no worries, @uncola, I'm not talking about drops (which happen all the time), as much as lack of sign ups.

    What happens is that people withhold what they really think of something until I get my hands on it and say something to the effect of its good, but it does A, B, and C wrong, and with the way its voiced, it doesn't sound different enough from Gungnir MB, and it doesn't do anything better than Gungnir MB, then 15 people who used to be interested kind of go: I'll pass. The huge run-on sentence was intentional.

    Folks on the loaner should keep it longer than usual. Maybe a week because the DAC needs to be left on 24-48 hours for best performance. It sounds congested and thin when just turned on from the cold.

    Super thanks to SBAF for setting up the loaner programs. I sent it out to @Clemmaster last Saturday and was delivered to him yesterday. Kindly acknowledge possession. I may seem obsessive about this, but stuff does get lost, sometimes.

    Got the Musette yesterday night.

    This damn DAC won't lock onto my Rednet 3 S/PDIF :(.
    Digi+Pro and Singxer F-1 work fine, so I'm not sure what's up. Maybe the Yggdrasil syndrome.

    UPDATE: So this goes to me next. @Clemmaster, maybe you can ship out by Wednesday?

    This will end with @Jh4db536 (hold for instructions after that, you may be shipping to an auction winner.)
