Anyone received a Millenium DAC II ??

Check over at Audio Asylum in the Digital section. There is a long thread about what is going on. My take was that Ric upgraded the output circuit to include field effect transformers instead of op amps. Feedback from the first DAC sent out was not positive. It sounds like Ric agreed with the feedback and is currently redesigning the output circuit. This is my read on things, I recommend you check out Audio Asylum and draw your own conclusions. I hope Ric gets it worked out. I'd like to see his business become successful and I'd also like one of his new DACs (waiting since 3/00).

I'm going to stick with the Millenium II for a couple of reasons.
1) I've waited this long, another few weeks is a drop in the bucket. Rick had already contacted me for my DAC specifics and payment method before the "Mel" incident. So I know I am at or near the top of the list.
2) In addition to making a great DAC Ric is also looking to make some money. He made that clear to me when I talked to him last spring. He and his future business have a lot riding on this next iteration of the DAC II. I believe he will do everything possible to ensure it is a quality product. The stakes are to high for him not to.
I will also say I know how other people are feeling. There are so many great DACs out there today at prices that won't break the bank. Perpetual Technology, Assemblage, Bel Canto, Audio Note, MSB etc. It's hard to sit and wait for a product when you can call and have a good DAC shipped the next day. Like I said, I will try the Millenium DAC II. If it does not work out in the 30 day trial period I will return it and go DAC shopping. Life could be a lot worse.
