Yeah I figure because of the lack of solid impressions / reviews out there, it deserves to be spread around on a few different forums.
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.
The main volume dial is not stepped, nor a digitally controlled one; i.e. you won't be able repeat the exact volume at times. Mine skips over -10 a lot.
I think I have a different SMPS and your ferrite looks rather big. I get some noise on the system unless I float the ground so maybe I need to find out if their is a new supply being issued. Can you take a closer pic? I'll do the same.Keep in mind everyone, the + does not have a BNC input, just BNC word clock input.The main volume dial is not stepped, nor a digitally controlled one; i.e. you won't be able repeat the exact volume at times.

Thanks, that's what saw that got me thinking. Same specs. but might look a bit different.My warranty is a 2 year warranty, since I bought from Sweetwater. So, SW are adding one year to Antelope's one year.
I'm also anxious to read your impressions.I see what looks like a toslink cable in the photo below?What "conduit" are you guys using toget the 1's and 0's to it? Toslink? USB? SPDIF converter? FW? With Tranport or Computer?ThanksKenreau
Srajan just got his demo DAC the other day, and is breaking it in. I don't expect his review for awhile yet. I'll do my best to get something out this weekend.
