Kingwa can explain- he did for me a while back.
This unit has a automatic switch that gives priority to the BNC if a signal is present there.
Now when I try to measure the BNC resistance I get 25 ohms, I am assuming this is because the switch isn't engauged when I am measuring.
Has anyone opened their 3SE and confirmed a good 75 ohm termination on the BNC input?

According to Audio GD, that is not true. When asked, he replied that the Ref 1,7,8 would still make use of all the 8 chips with RCA output and sound a bit better than the Ref 9.
It's here...finally
The long customs delay even paid off in the end: the charges were much lower than I had originally anticipated....a first for me!
Since I came home late today, I didn't manage to plug it in yet, so you'll get no initial impressions from me just yet.
Probably not even in a few days or a week, I will need some time to compare and verify my findings.
Instead, just some quick shots of its arrival:
P.S.: I hope the OP doesn't mind me hijacking his thread like this!
Otherwise I can also fabricate a title for yet another audio-gd thread...it's just that I feel there are far too many of them already.
Shamelessly bumping this thread, but how much did you pay for customs? I'm considering the 3SE as a DAC upgrade and need to take customs into the consideration as well.
