Default DAC8 en route

I found a nice used DAC8 a couple weeks ago and it should be delivered today if all goes well.

The latest from UPS says...

Wyoming, MI, United States 02/06/2013 5:51 A.M. Out For Delivery

It's actually sunny today with no snow in the forecast until tomorrow so it looks like all systems go. At a balmy 14 degrees out I'll need to let it warm up a bit first. I'll report back once things get underway...

Spent a LOT of time at 2 diff dealers listening to DAC8.... Very detailed and more of the old ARC sound to me anyway !!! ..while I went a different way, a very NICE DAC...inthink TAS is lost in space with the belief that DAC7 is better..drop dead silent and black backgrounds....ENJOY!!!!!
