Great song by the Clash
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers first national tour, June 15, 1978 Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver, Canada. The third encore was "I Fought The Law". Gone, but certainly not forgotten.

Haven't tried the Pontus yet. I have been dealing with a bout of sciatica, so I really can't move things around. The funny thing is I can still play golf, but putting socks on is excruciating.  
Need some treble
Seems to me that, if you're not hearing high frequencies, boosting them via tone controls may do nothing. Much like having a null in your listening room.  My question would be. Do those cymbals reappear when you crank it up a few notches?

@som Yes the price for the Aries S1 with LPS is $2,998.00 USD. This is $4,096.00 CDN + tax and shipping. Even without the LPS it is $2,700.00 CDN + tax and shipping. That is still too much.  I really think whatever I buy will be used. That way...

No offence, but this discussion is about my search for a USB DAC, not about doing electrical modifications to my condo. Let's try and keep on topic.  
Changing from European to American power supply on clearaudio emotion TT
There are voltage conversion systems available that will convert 110V to 220v but they require your plugging into two separate outlets that are out of phase to each other. This could be very awkward because the required out of phase outlet might ...

@kevn  I own a condo with a concrete floor, a concrete ceiling and a concrete wall between the electrical panel and all the relevant outlet. Even if I wanted to, I am not sure it would be practical or allowed. I think I will stay on topic with t... 
How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor?
@gemoody Life. Sometimes you’re the hammer. Sometimes you’re the nail. Good luck. Hope the rest of this saga is happy trails for you.

@soix  Yeah, it's bad. I may just have to wait it out for something this side of the border.  
UShip?
"Has anyone used UShip for fragile audio gear? Experience, god or bad?" "Experience God"? That's a pretty high standard. I would be satisfied if nothing is broken and it gets there on time.

Yes, hindsight is 20/20, but you had 90 days to return it. I assume you have all the original packaging, it will ship fine. Pay the $100 and get on with your life.

@iseland  I think that about puts the final nail in the Eversolo coffin for me.

@jallan  I did the same calculation on the same site, but of course because it is a government site there is NEVER exactly what you need or so much grey area that you don't really know if what you are doing actually reflects reality. Did you not...

@jallan  I know, but being in Canada I am a little nervous about the import duty that may apply.

@rdschicago  I like the Lumin as well, but it does not do digital output via USB, which is a requirement with the Denafrips Iris DDC.
