Problem with FedEx Ground Shipping?
I use Greyhound. Yes you have to go to the bus station, but it's quick, can be shipped over the weekend and is cheap. And depending on the distance of travel, it usually only gets transferred a few times without the sorting stations...

Who R U?

DAC's Tried with the EAD U2000

Rogue Tempest or Jolida JD1000A Integrateds?
Clueless, the CHS-2's are 4 ohm and sometimes dip down below that in heavy bass passages. In any case, I have a feeling the Rogue will perform well. Other comments would be greatly appreciated.
