Here's one from the U.S. Loaner Program. :D

"The Neko allows you to hear many details overlooked by lesser dacs.... The music is clear, it’s complete, and it remains intact throughout the performance."

CarlSeibert has posted a super-detailed review of the D100 Mk2! He and his friends did some critical listening in four different systems containing top-notch gear. If you've been looking for lots of info on how the D100 Mk2 sounds, you won't want to skip this review. Thanks, Carl!

"Analog and digital living together, like in a soda commercial. I do know I'd highly recommend the Neko. I want one."

Special thanks to Whale for helping to organize the E.U. Loaner Program. Here's his review as the first person in Portugal to receive it!

"To me the secret of this dac is the ability to extract great detail yet keeping amazingly musical, the tonality of the instruments its the most close to natural, as in real life, I have heard."

The second round of the Canada loaner program just completed.

"From obscure music that I only have in MP3 format, to CD rips, everything sounded like true performance. Natural instrument timbres, volumes of air around instruments, and above all, all of the emotion encoded in music was effortlessly retrieved!"

"I was mesmerized by how immediate and vital these recordings sound. Shut your eyes, pretend you smell cigarette smoke, and you are sitting in the club in 1969."

"The MKII excels with classical, showing depth and clarity through formerly smeared presentations."

This one is from the Canada loaner program. :)

"...without a doubt head and shoulders above the other DAC's I've heard to date and the difference wasn't subtle."

emb2k1 ended up purchasing a D100 Mk2 after auditioning it at home. He has it paired with Thiel speakers and Mcintosh electronics. 8)

"The air and dimensionality of Norah are outstanding - something I've only previously experienced with the same song on LP."
