Kudos Curra for the FAQ section ! Especially on the subject of SUPER - What all the explanations and words could not express, just a few lines did !! Great work !..

UncleFestive, its actually good you started that thread - in the end, I personally cant help but supporting Audio GD when customers still crib after getting full refund including shipping for a product, and goes on further to make money on the expense of the good services of the seller. Most...

Check this link out, the end product is great, but the only problem with Zero DAC is reliability and QC factor, I am not aware how much it has been taken care in the new Zero model ; http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f6/fra...-heart-370985/

Yeah that was quick, although I felt ashamed about how much music of mine are ripped from CDs..

PJ, glad you finally received the working REF1 !.. Seems like the transporter is the one to beat as a transport - I agree with you about a good transport taking out the best of the REF1 or any DAC for that matter, maybe a CD7 Vs Transporter is something we can look forward in the near future..

Patu, Thanks for the interesting review. I myself found the DAC19SE on the warmer side of neutral, I guess its the A-GD signature, but this isn't the case with REF1 and it took me no time choosing between both. The fact that you still haven't decided between the two does say a lot about the...

I really think Kingwa should let Pacific Valve take care of the US market, in fact he has for the first time indicated officially in his website that they are official agents of Audio GD - ºÎÇ컪Ô*´´ÒôÏì, by giving them enough inventories to take care of such issues. I am quite sure, either this...

Quote: Originally Posted by Currawong I wonder if it would be worth sending the DSP board first, express, as I imagine with the voltages it uses it might be the most sensitive to having issues. Curra, I was thinking the same yesterday as I am quite sure its the DSP board (the...
