I can't wait for my Ref 5 + C39, one week is soo long. It'll be a blast!
Keep in mind that his DAC's really do take about 100 hours to smooth out. My Ref-1 sounded a touch harsh and congested at first- I was pretty disappointed but a few days later that changed. And this was not me becoming used to the sound, I left it running for 3 days and came back to it.
As someone who had the dac 19 DF, which is apparently a much more jitter prone filter than the DSP1, i can tell you that there isn't a mind-blowing difference with SPDIF (using the hiface)
@ tecnenvy, you can always ask Kingwa to install additional digital input(s).
NICE ..! need moar input!!!!!!

h.rav, i see that you have the exact same setup i'm going for! How's the C39 as a pre?
h.rav, out of curiosity how much did it all set u back in total cost to get the extra additions?
Did you send Nucleotide wire in advance or Kingwa got it on him? Also whats the difference between IEC? Though they are all the same.

I have only played with it for a few times, I just got back from a business trip. I like it better than W4S STP which is a highly regarded preamp.
Did you get the C-39SE or the C-39Mk3? Kingwa sells two C-39s, they are pretty much the same other than the chassis.
