Oops!... Duplicate post.

My modded box should be shipped home today... Sounds like the work-around should do the job!... Thanks for your contributions to that effort. BTW, are you using the stock BNC cable?

I have only used SBT+EDO as a source... I was on the 'wait list' prior to the first production run, so it does make sense that turn-around time is now shorter.... Enjoy!

Yes, the SBT seems active at all times,,, so Pat at ART has designed a work-around, by snooping the data lines and timing out - allowing the Legato II to enter the battery-charging state (without having to unplug the USB cable). My Legato is in the shop right now getting the modification (it's...

I've waited for months, but would expect the wait time to shorten as production ramps up. Pat is a good about replying to emails, so give him a shout if you're interested. The LegatoII arrived... very impressive so far: relaxed presentation, lots of detail, open & deep soundstage... I find...

Just heard back from Pat, my Legato II will be on its way!... Can't wait.to mate it with SBT/EDO on the front, and Anedio D2 on the back-end.

The SBT has been discontinued, but it's still available... A bargain at $259 + free shipping (while supply lasts)... Get one (or two), before inventory dries up (and prices go way up).

Are you getting best results (SQ-wise) with your Furutech GT2 cable?

Quote: Viper Nice review, thanks!   Questions: 1) Did you use the "Direct" BNC connector with the Anedio D2? (i.e., I assume the D2 does have an internal Pulse Transformer, correct?) 2) Did you tried [SBT+EDO] as a source?... If so, How does the LegatoII compare to your USB-modded...

Quote: Well Viper?... Did you start a new thread?... How's that LegatoII doing?

  Nice!... S/N 1.

Another take away is perhaps: What really matters is how it sounds. (so it's great when you have an opportunity for an in-home trial)

Viper, You just passed the wife's test... LOL. So I'm playing some "Chet Baker" (You and the Night and the Music), and shes says: "That sounds more like 'real music' now, what's changed? Seems like the bass it's a little tighter, and mids are nice & clean... There's more separation & deeper...

Quote: I won't dispute the "does not guarantee" part of your statement, but I certainly would not agree that 'Async USB are just the buzz words'...Async USB is "real" and different to "Adaptive USB". With Async USB the downstream device (DAC/converter) is the master (asking for data), not...

Viper, Agreed on the transient & dynamics... I'll add that to my previous comments, No, I haven't made USB cable comparions yet... I'll report back when I get a chance. (I did so once before with the stock D2, using a friend's expensive cable, and could not appreciate differences... But, to be...
