    Considering buying one of these, and would love to have chance at a proper audition.

    I am in Sacramento and can easily travel to the Bay Area if needed.

    If you don't find a dac2541, I have a dac1541 I can lend.

    How long would you be willing to wait? I have one of those elsewhere, and I could bring it back to the Bay Area late December.

    Thank you, but I've decided to just go ahead with buying a Gustard R26 when it goes on sale on 11/11.

    I wouldn't say no to borrowing one for the sake of comparisons, but I'm no longer considering buying the Soekris and I doubt anyone is itching for a comparison between it and the Gustard.

    Not itching, but I would be interested in a comparison. Both are on my radar for a potential upgrade from my Bifrost 2 (M/B not NOS)

    Well then I definitely wouldn't say no to a short loan.

    I will be traveling around for most of the rest of the year so I wouldn't be able to do much in the way of listening until January anyway.

    Gustard R26 on order.

    I also own the Bifrost 2/64 so I could throw that in the mix as well.
