Hey guys! I forgot to show you all the transform box for the XLR conversion to RCA. I also mixed that up in the video...as the XLR outs can go to the accessory box, then RCA out of the box to your RCA inputs. This keeps the multi path benefits intact.

How did the Imersiv D-1 sound with the Benchmark amp and your current reference speakers?

I'm waiting for my unit, should have it soon enough.<br>I've read that the burn in time for this DAC can take around 400 hours, then it opens up massively, what do you think?

Without playing Music how can we decide whether it is Grand. Please play the music.

More hype. You like Weiss DACs which I can't stand - I doubt I'd like this.

You can compare it to a million dollar dac and 12 Gs will still be ridiculously out of range for most of us.

What are those beautiful speakers?

Your presentation is excellent and your PS illustration makes sense. Still, I have to wonder…why not use what the people who make music (recording studios) rely on? You could save tens of thousands.

Another greatest dac of all time, until the next one. No I2S which today are indispensable.
