Very nice looking!
First brief impressions (I cheated and have been listening, couldn't resist). In short, it is sounding fantastic! Even the headphone outs on the unit itself sound great (which I wasn't really expecting)! It is like ... crystal clear, every last detail is magnified with ease....it is just there and you don't have to strain to hear any detail. The space and air is quite excellent, makes my LCD-2s sound more spacious all around (3D, 360 degrees). The imaging is also spot on....more to come later. I was told by someone who has 400 hours play time on his that it gets even better at 100 hrs and again 200 hrs burn in. Looking forward to it! Stay tuned.
Well I can tell you that, mine is still sounding amazing. I am going to put another 100 hours on it before I do an in depth analysis....right now I probably have about 100 on it. I already sold my Audio-gd Ref5 dac" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.head-fi.org/images/smilies//biggrin.gif" title="

Holy crap, it is better than a audio gd product.Hope to hear some impressions from you and glad to hear it sounds good from someone that has listened to it.![]()

Can't wait for the release of the base model. Late 2010 c'mon!
I was under the impression that the Gold version was coming out before the low end? Not sure though, I may ask Marcel about it. I wish I knew how to make custom power supplies, that is my only gripe with the Zodiac+ model. Apparently the Gold has the high end power supply. I would think that the 2500.00 dac should also have the nice power supply, but hopefully they will be selling some stand alone power supplies later on....

Hi Chris,
I don't yet have any eta on the base model Zodiac, though it should start shipping sometime in Q1 of 2011.
Regards,
Marcel
