I ordered my SHD direct from the minidsp website. Everything went very well.I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on an SHD. Is there a preferred source here in the US? I was set to pay the extra $15 to order from Deer Creek Audio then did a last minute search here and came across the negative experience referred to 5-6 pages back.
Should I just order direct from miniDSP? Or are there support issues that go back to the manufacturer? Not looking to get a headache should something go wrong. I haven't found any products that can compete with the SHD's feature set and specs, but $1300 is still a lot of money (to me at least) and it's not worth it if the manufacturer/retailer won't stand behind the product.
edit - Upon reading back further, this may be a can of worms I do not want to open.
I have bought a few accessories from Deer Creek and had no problems whatsoever with them.
The main difference is if you buy it directly from minidsp, the DIRAC is auto-registered. If you buy it from Deer Creek, they give you a registration code. It's really not much of a hassle or difference.
