    Another day, another defuckifier.

    I'll send it out as soon as it arrives and I finish comparing against the Mutec MC-1.2

    So we'll start this on the West Coast...

    It's a relatively cheap item so I'll try to package it in either a USPS flatrate small box or an intensely bubble wrapped situation. Insure to $175 unless shipping UPS or FedEx. $5 to donate@changstar. 5 days to receive, listen and ship.

    I think this makes sense (if I'm not mistaken, Merrick and Wfojas are in SoCal, Philip and Vent are in NorCal, and MrTie is on this thing's way back home).

    I'm a hop skip and a jump from @philipmorgan .

    EDIT: One way or another, if I can get slotted in, @brencho and I will have a mini meet audition of this device, and we'll find a cable. (I suppose it's worthwhile using a known 75R cable. Nothing fancy though)

    well shit, @bazelio wanna listen to this together while you have it? i have a SPDIF cable we can use, and a Gungnir Multibit if your Yggdrasil isn't in by the time you receive it.

    Wasn't planning on sending around any cables with it, but wait, is there a reason a regular RCA wouldn't work (well)?

    I already use RCA coax so I don't need a cable.

    You should use a digital 75 ohm cable, and bnc if possible. I have a short coax digital cable I will send along. Not the best but is properly speced SPDIF.

    I got this in today. It was supposed to come yesterday but UPS left a door tag. I'll likely send it out to the next person on Monday because my move is on Tuesday.

    First impressions are that the F-1 definitely improves the signal over USB, especially in terms of bass impact and detail retrieval, but so far my Raspberry Pi with Digi+ hat is smoking the F-1, offering superior layering and engagement. I tune out with USB and the F-1, not so with the Pi.

    I'll leave the F-1 on a bit to see if warm up affects it at all, try it again on Monday before shipping it out.

    You can remove me from the loaner. Keeping on eye on the USB thread and elsewhere has convinced me to just get away from USB entirely. Thanks though @sphinxvc!

    I'm going to drop out of this loaner. Although I see I wasn't added to the list, so maybe I was never in. Haha.

    E22 for the win.
