I have indeed. They are very expensive though so unless someone loans one to me, I won't be purchasing it to review.
What???モメ口匕工匚 d i g i t a l t o a n a l o g c o n v e r s i o n
Yes, I do have one and plan to test it. As I grind through the backlog of loaned gear, I am getting closer to test it.
I MAY, not sure yet, end up buying an EL DAC in the next month or so. If I end up grabbing one, I'd be willing to send it in for a couple weeks to get measured. I just love their customer service, and that knob on the Element/EL Amp.I would also like to suggest the El Dac/Element.
Yes. I purchased it to compare to a Chord Mojo but that offer did not come through. Once I get through my current backlog, I will review it.Amir,
Do you have any plans on testing the iFi micro iDSD Black Label, in addition to/after the iFi micro iDSD Black Label?
THis has been suggested before. Not yet in the purchase plan though so loan offers would be appreciated.I would also like to suggest the El Dac/Element.
I meant to ask if you had any plans to review the iFi nano and the iFi micro. I read that you were trying to test the iFi nano.Yes. I purchased it to compare to a Chord Mojo but that offer did not come through. Once I get through my current backlog, I will review it.
I own the 2nd iteration of the iPurifier (iPurifier 2) and its pretty sucks tbh. I can't hear a single SQ improvement on my DACs (Audio-gd R2R-11, Chord Mojo, Stoner Acoustics UD125, SMSL iDEA) and I tried to sell it off but nobody wants to take it off my hands.Also very interested in your review of the Google Chromecast Audio digital output as well, thanks! And if you have the time ;-) and interest, would be great to checkout the combo of GCA and the previously reviewed (and not recommended) iFi S/PDIF iPurifier which is said by many to improve the sound of the GCA given that its output is high in jitter. I have a GCA and I bought the iPurifier before seeing your review (having read a near-euphoric "what a time to be alive" recommendation of the GCA/iPurifier combo by an audio blogger) and the improvement (if any) is not consistently audible to my ears, unfortunately for me and my departed $149, although I'm not doing a blind test. Would be nice to see the actual measurements.

It usually takes me a week to make measurements, post them, and make sure there is no feedback that requires access to the equipment before returning it. Assuming you are in US. I ship back using USPS priority which takes 3 days to get back to you.Suppose someone (me) sent you a Topping Nx4 DSD for review a week or two from now. Given your backlog, how long would you expect the measurements to take?

Yes but for now it sure seems the same.amirm are you going to confirm Xtrempro X1 measures the same as Speaka USB DAC?

He was saying he would send it to me when I am done with the current backlog. But yes, guilty as charged.That seems a bit optimistic!

Little hard to tell at the moment. I have been ill for the last few weeks and at the same time got a ton of gear to review both in person and through mail. The disease is progressing toward the end but unfortunately it is extremely uncomfortable and gets worse when sit at my desk. If I had been healthy i could have gone through a lot more gear by now.I think what he meant was, what is the current turnaround time with your current backlog. Like do you have months and months of loaned items ahead of you to address before you can start working on something new?
