I purchased this from the authorized US dealer less than 30 days ago. Decided to return it - not because it is poor, but because I'm simply looking for something higher end.
I'm shipping it back on Tues (July 5) and am in So California about an hour east of Los Angeles. Absolutely pristine perfect mint as out of the box.
This is a very musical unit with beautiful warmth/weight/fullness. You can read reviews on the web if you do a search.
For a DAC in this price range, I think the Streamer II+ and the Audio GD NFB-3 are the two best buys.
Thanks,
UL
