Its been 5 minutes since before you joined.

Thought it was 15.

It expires at the exact least opportune moment.

Here's a couple more for you guys to chew on.

"I found the soundstage deeper and a little bit wider with more

I'm running a holiday special for the month of December.

Order a D100 or D100 Mk2 and I'll throw in a pair of my high-quality interconnects for free!

(cat not included)

Nice deal.

For those who aren't aware, all cables are blessed by Niea (one of my cats) at various points during the construction process.

As a result, with my cables you'll get much smoother and detailed reproduction of the frequencies so high as to be inaudible to humans, but your cats will know the difference immediately.

I hope the blessing ritual doesn't include peeing on them

Well it would make the sound more fluid.

and also would add that bit of salt making music more spicy

"Sharper attacks" (by other cats) too

^ Win.

Mine: "eye-wateringly good".

A couple more reviews from the loaner program.

"Very analogue sounding was my first reaction. Smooth and polite are two adjectives that best describe the sound of the Neko. Musical and involving would be others. Female vocals shone though and were very engaging with little harshness or stridency."

"It had a relaxed and analog like sound...which was seductive. For me this was the Neko

Every time I post in here something weird pops up. Now all my paragraphs get wrapped at half-width? Or am I the only one seeing that happen to my post.

Nope, that's happening with the rest of us, too. Though now it seems to be happening with only the newest post within given thread.

Looking forward to my time with this DAC.

We're going through a transition with the software, please be patient. And no, it's not you.

Well, I thought maybe you just didn't like me or something. It's been known to happen.

No, you iz nice kitteh.

I have the Neko DAC on loan (thanks Wes!). Listening to it right now. I haven't had it for that long, but I can already say that this is a fine DAC and I can easily see this group liking it. I have it going head-to-head with the PS Audio right now, which should actually be kind of interesting because they are both using Wolfson chipses, although different models I think. I'll have more to say, but I like what I'm hearing so far out of it with the B22 and HF2s.

I thought the Neko used PCM1794A?

I think that's right -- IIRC, the Neko uses dual mono 1794's and a Wolfson receiver.

Yeah, WM8804 or 8805 I think.

Dammit. Sorry about that. I stand corrected.

Congrats to Wes on an excellent (and well-deserved) review in this month's The Absolute Sound.

Here's the review.
