I got one on the way! Ordered mine in black so it may take a bit longer to arrive! There is one small issue apparently that will need to be resolved hopefully by firmware update. While at the dealer I brought my Mac and I use Audirvana for playback and while it sounded amazing when I tried to play any DSD files it didn't seem to work. My dealer got on the phone with Audio Research and they confirmed that while DSD playback works fine with a Windows pc there are issues right now with DSD from a Mac. I have only the 2 DSD files I bought to try it out so no big issue right now but I did want that to work eventually. BTW ... the demo unit only had 35 hours on it so I'm anticipating it sounding much better once broken in. Anyone know what the breakin period is with this dac? Also ... anyone else have issues with DSD from a Mac? Cheers!
Thanks
