Thanks ! I am really digging this DAC... I let it "cook" all week by essentially leaving it on with a 192k stream all week . Finally got to try USB and it sounds really good. I think I would have bought it even without a trade in, but that make it affordable. I went a little overboard on audio so far this year so in the near future I will pair it with a better streamer.
Definitely check out Fidelis if you are in the New England area it is worth the trip
