Yes! hope you have this in time for the meet! Though if I find it to actually be better than the D2 i would have to then get a Preamp...though that would allow me to get a turntable too...

If you imagine a logarithmic curve, most of the benefit of warm-up time I'd say happens in the first 30-60 minutes.

Normally i let it run few songs first before I really sit down and enjoy. my tube amp need some warm up also.. lol

Thank you.  The Master 7 was turned off overnight and no worries on a cold start this morning.   First few songs sound not bad at all.  Scott

As long as Ive got it in time it will definitely be there. We've still got two weeks so I'm hopeful.

Hmm, my last comment as me thinking, i know that people have asked Kingwa about a Stax amp, and he has said no due to the dificulty in finding suitable transistors for the job. But has anyone asked him about a balanced ACSS Phono Pre Amp? it seems like a whole in his rather extensive product line.

Sounds about right to me - I can't wait to get both of these master units.  It's going to be quite expensive buying them new over here, and can't seem to find anyone selling them in the forums - are these quite rare units?

I have tried changed the USB firmware IC. ver3 is slight warmer. Original is more neutral.

My Master 7 has arrived After years with the Ref One, I have the following initial impressions:
 
Space has improved a lot, everything is more 3D, especially the localization and separation - everything is better defined in 3D space. Level of details has increased. I really like these improvements.
 
More impressions may come later

What digital input(s) are you using?

 

[seaice]

At the moment, I use the BNC input feeded by the Audio-gd DI-V3 so that I can compare the Master 7 with the Ref One directly with no other possible influences. So, my setup differs only by DACs - Master 7/Ref One.
 
After some burn-in period, I will try the direct USB input.

I only use RCA output, any M7 owner can give impression compare to ACSS and XLR output?
