Little Dot Mkiv SE - possible problem? Update and first impressions

I've just got my LD today. DHL have had in the warehouse overnight at -7 degrees so unpacking it there were signs of condensation so I'm waiting 24 hours before powering it up.

The possible problem is the 20-30 degrees of radial loose play on the volume control. Obviously I won't really know until I power up tomorrow but has anyone who owns one of these got a similar amount of play. I should also say the knob does not feel loose on the shaft.

I have e-mailed David for his advice but I just wondered if anyone else had this much loose play.

Well I've finally got it all plugged in can't find my 1.5mm allen key to tighten the knob but it appears and sounds as if all is well.

Setup is:  PC > FLAC > Foobar > WASAPI > S/PDIF > Arcam rDAC > Little Dot MKIV SE > Senn HD650

The rDAC and LD are brand new, HD650 have a few hours on them. I have literally only been listening for about 20 minutes and my initial impressions are - WOW!

Improved all through the range wider soundstage. This is just an initial impression but I am very impressed.

and as the equipment burns in this should improve. I'll update when I've got a few more hours on it.
