Thanks Jason!

Try optical then perhaps USB if that doesn't work for you. One reason I like optical for my 'portable' rig.
@ Pseudohippy
I was order number 217 or something like that. I got the paypal notice on Sunday and the unit was at my home in NY on Wednesday. Not bad Schiit (having lived in Germany for 2 years I love saying that, even thought they used the american spelling...)

Great review. Haha, maybe dCS should start getting worried about the upcoming Schiit Statement DAC. If Schiit's $350 DAC can match a $2000 DAC, their statement $1000+ DAC may just be good enough to take on the $10000+ heavyweights.
I'll have to order an optical cable. Can't seem to find the one I had years ago.
Please, can we *not* do this. It may have been tongue in cheek, but there are fora out there where various keyboard warriors take immense pleasure in holding up Head-Fi hype to the spotlight - lets not give them any more ammunition than they already have. I've seen hot rods that can cover a 1/4 mile faster than a stock Ferrari, but put 90% of people behind the wheel of both cars and I know which one they will choose.
Thanks judmarc, I finally understand the difference between them now. This DAC you mention that does not do either, I presume is the TotalDAC which decodes a DSD stream using ladder resistors or something. Since Schiit claim their statement DAC will not be using any DAC chip perhaps that is the approach they are taking as well.
Well I'll get one just to see if it's the fix or if I need to go the USB module route. On these UERMs this noise is really distracting on anything remotely soft. Been listening to mostly rock/pop/metal to avoid it.
Jason,
what is the ETA in sending a batch to I enjoy Australia for distribution?
