[skeptic]

While David (Maniac) waits on his pending merchant status, I figured I would take a moment to acknowledge him as an excellent private seller who I would highly recommend to any of you who may be considering purchasing one of the KECES dac's.

I ordered my Keces 131 (w/ the LME opamp upgrade) from David directly on May 19, and I'm pleased to report a very pleasant and smooth transaction. David responded to each of my personal messages quickly and courteously. Shipping was fast, and the USPS tracking number David provided allowed me to follow the item from Taiwan --> US customs (2 day wait) --> Southern CA, where it arrived on the sixth day.

I will also note that I'm really enjoying the 131 thus far. It's very smooth and musical, with good extension, nice separation, and a very solid and controlled bottom end -- a huge improvement over the DAC on the X-fi.

Thanks again David!
