As a dealer in this line, I don't have great margins on the RME ADI-2 DAC, but continental U.S. members of ASR who want to reach out to me, I'll work with you on prepaid, preferably non-credit-card purchases (hey, trust me, I'm a lawyer!). I've been running 2 of these machines on separate rigs, and they're really super. The only hitch I've had is that the small IR eye, hard against the control knobs, doesn't seem to like stick-on IR repeaters -- I use an IR repeater that beams from a couple of inches away instead. Also, Duh, the power connecter seems loose until a smart person on ASR informs you that it locks into place with a turn.
