    Mine was the Stereo. As an aside, I am one of the "unfortunates" who paid for an Mdac 2 Dac from John Westlake 6 years ago. We are still waiting.....and waiting.......and waiting......

    My order #371 shipped last Wednesday or Thursday from Prague. It's been mentioned earlier I think that the units don't always ship corresponding to order numbers but I imagine you wont have to wait too much longer.

    If it's of any help I've just received an E30 that plays very nicely from my Samsung TV using it's SPDIF output.

    Thanks very much for the update. I'm order #371 so a few more months I suspect.

    Audioquest Niagara 1200 Review (Power Conditioner/Surge Protector)

    I have one of these. Would be interested in knowing, on the basis of Amir's testing whether it has any positive (or negative) effects and if I were in the US I'd happily provide mine up for evaluation. Anybody in the US got one ...... ?

    My order is (371) and I was told just over a week ago after making enquiries that mine was expected to ship in three weeks. Order was originally placed on the 13th of March.

    Order #371 delayed another 3 weeks after being told a month ago, 4 weeks till shipping. A bit frustrating.

    My order is #371 so a few weeks to go I guess. I haven't reached out for a estimated date as I'm sure they are very busy...

    Thanks for the reply sq and confirmation that the 9 year old Weiss can still hold it's own amongst all the newcomers. I had mine upgraded to add the USB input option but like you I still think Firewire sounds the best.

    Yes the quote below sums up the Stereophile review of the day. "The Weiss DAC202 is the best-measuring D/A processor I have measured in my quarter-century career at Stereophile. It just doesn't get any better than this!—John Atkinson"...

    Hi sq, how do you think it might compare to the Weiss dac202 ? You see I wonder how the technology and it's implementation may have improved over the years.
