No, I am not "snarky and obnoxious' just realistic because I have been down this road before with the same people. You, on the other hand keep touting the "next big thing" regardless of what the facts are about their demo's, test equipment and source material. So like I said, buy in and let us doubters know how it works out. It is not my place to be a cheerleader. But unless I am shocked you will have to buy a separate "cheap" USB DAC from Meridian or a much more expensive one to find out.
