got mine @4:32pm yesterday
I've read someone describing a DAC as having "swing", and those first notes immediately reminded me of that.
The depth/weight/tone I'm hearing now is what I'd expect to follow weeks of break-in, so I'm guessing it's going to get worse before it gets better?
I tried the USB for a moment, and yes the treble has much to go if it's ever going to catch up with the Tanly via I2S.
On the Gustard X20's I2S input, the L/R channels would flip, but I think it only did this on either DSD or PCM.
On this DAC the I2S behaves the same for PCM and and DSD. Unfortunately my Tanly interface has it wired the other way (and who knows what "right" is). No biggie because I can flip channels with wires or in JRiver.
Next I want to confirm the absolute phase isn't being flipped on I2S (because that's what my ears tell me).
For that I have to start listening on USB, then enable each software function/filter one at a time, then repeat the process with I2S.
what a treat this thing is
