Thanks everyone,My wife is making shrimp scampi as I type this, Gonna have some canoli cheesecake with the family.

My daughter has been asking for a watch like daddy. She has been walking up to me about every 5min for the past few hours asking "Now what time is it!?!?"

Different systems, and one person's opinion, so grain of salt warning.... I think it may be more the surrounding pieces, not the DAC itself, that are different. (EDIT for clarity: I mean the DAC CHIP itself, and the inside the box changes: output stage, I/V stage, etc. Didn't mean the other equipment) To my ears, the new M12 had a slightly more balanced tonal quality. I never seemed to lose details with the M51, but the mids seemed recessed sometimes (that may have contributed to the huge soundstage they seemed to throw), and the highs also seemed slightly rolled. Again, no seeming loss of detail, but that proverbial "air" wasn't fully there. The M12 seemed to flesh out vocals a bit better, and did seem to have more air up top without any harshness. At the dealer, I was able to plug in my USB stick and play some of my music. I was able to discern a large soundstage still, but a more even/prominent midrange especially for female vocals, piano, etc. And cymbals on good recordings had a nice decay to them that could be a bit muted on the M51. Just a couple examples. As Purk said, the M51 still is available, so as a less expensive option than the M12 is still a good option. I am just one of those who agrees that it betters the M51 in sound quality.

How do you fool them to let you take the pictures?

http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/kgsshvcarbonv6.pdf top blue line is where the ceramics end up and is 98mm from the bottom of the board. If you mount the sicfets at the lower hole. 2nd blue line is optional cut point the sicfets would be bent .7 inches from the center of the hole which should be doable. seems to fit, but just barely.

That Parker 51 writes beautifully! Also traded for Chris's set.

Perhaps a flawed implementation of an excellent circuit.

I was sad to hear about Scott Weiland. I met him once in college when he was passing through San Luis Obispo. We sat and talked for an hour or so. Drugs suck.
