No info. Mine was a request (a long time ago) for a review sample.Hi Kal,
Can you tell when you ordered yours and what the ordernumber is? I ordered mine January 16, ordernr. 96, so I'll know how long I have to wait.

ys ago and have yet to hear a response. I was going to purchase their standard DAC8 since I eventually want to go surround sound but I had some questions about their stereo model and the lack of communication, the radio silence is worrisome. I definitely don’t want to get caught stuck with an unwarra
Whoo eee. Just received a message from Pavel that "we're re-starting the US tour with a production DAC8 PRO" and I should have it in a week or two. Can't wait! A fellow club member has the Matrix X-Sabre Pro MQA to compare with. Two fellow club members have the Lamizator Pacific DAC. We'll see (hear) if USD $1,000 or $2,000 bests $27,000.
Well over 100 members between two clubs. Lots of ears will be listening.

I have a quick question about general shipping processing time so I would like to get a pulse for what others’ real world experiences have been here with the fulfillment process. In leisurely skimming the thread, my understanding that I have garnered is the processing time has generally amounted to 1-2 months as the site indicates. In connection with this assessment, is this accurate and if so, is this still the case? So if I take it correctly, if I placed my order on Tuesday, February 11th as I did this past week (my order is in the very early 100s), then I should naturally expect my order to ship out between mid March and mid April, right?
Totally. It’s the best multichannel DAC I could buy so I am absolutely willing to wait.Mine was about 3 months exactly to ship date...but I placed my order right after he said the Pros were starting to ship.
Worth the wait, in my opinion.
@Okto Research is the Sabre chip within the Okto DAC8 typically running sync or async? I wonder.Also, in case of USB/AES mode, does the DAC to host input USB connection switch to synchronous USB mode, driven by the DAC's clock?
The specs sheet says it all:@Okto Research is the Sabre chip within the Okto DAC8 typically running sync or async? I wonder.
USB (asynchronous, UAC2.0 compliant) 8-channel I/O, up to 192 kHz / 32 bit, DSD128 or DoP64
OK, makes sense that leaves the AES input.The specs sheet says it all:
Here's the answer for that buried in the manual on page 11:that leaves the AES input.
AES/EBU connections require a synchronous operation
Given two of three modes, Pure USB and USB / AES, as described on that page are using the USB, I would say mostly yes to your comment above. However, the Pure AES mode expressly states that "it does use the recovered AES/EBU clock for processing the received audio data."That I think is out of context. The DAC can run in sync mode with async USB, and it can also run in async mode despite the fact AES/EBU is synchronous. I suspect the ESS chip itself always runs in async mode in the DAC8.
There is no USB host in this mode and no PC involved.Just guessing but all that probably means there is no ASRC between AES and USB on the way to PC doing DSP. The Sabre chip can still run as async.
There is no USB host in this mode and no PC involved.
