I wasn't hesitant. I contacted them on their website almost a month ago. After the good feedback I got from this thread I wanted to put down an order once I got a reply.Why were you hesitating in first place? Not sure I followed, sorry.
Therry are other excellent 8-channel DAC from Exasound (s88) and Merging (Hapi Mk3) for instance, but not the same price tag.
But the reply never came. And when I have wrote them a week ago, seeing there is no answer, I decided that I need to move on.
I already have a Merging Anubis and a Solaris. But the review of the unit really made me want one and see if it is any better than what I have.
Even recently I have contacted Merging and they replied within 2 days tops. Kept regular email exchanges like you should when you are a business and have a client in need.
