Sadly, I'm still waiting for my STAGEDAC to arrive. Shipped via DHL.de, according to Jan it arrived on US shores one day after he sent it out, but has sat "somewhere" for 14 days with no notice from anyone. I've never had anything hung up in customs this long. Jan is going to try to get a bead on it on Monday. |

WM8740 is used in products like Pico and DacMagic. I ordered and paid for StageDAc, now I am waiting for its arrival, should be here by Friday latest I hope. At first I can use it only with USB, because I don't have any transport at the moment. |

First impressions are...well, "impressive". I won't attempt to match Leonardo's excellent & comprehensive posts, especially at this early stage. But I will say that there is very good extension & detail on both ends, while still maintaining a natural smoothness. Never fatiguing. This, using the filter switch in the upper position, & the oversampling switch down (3:1). Everything else set to flat. Haven't played too much with other positions yet. |
