They SHOULD turn me away, You? I'd have let you in, set the room up again and given you a private demo! ;-)
Agree that the BEST Redbook CD could be surpassed by the BEST Hi Rez and yes, DSD from mic to speaker with no PCM conversion in between (Jared at Channel Classics certainly does the 'chicken right') would be the perfect world.
ALMOST as good as full analog chain mic to speaker via vinyl or 15 IPS tape. ;-)
At the end of the day, recording quality makes as much difference as playback technology IMNSHO. I can generally tell a great recording from a mediocre one just by streaming it over the internet.
Mostly. Hopefully I will someday find out for certain.
Envy you your Trinity DAC. Looks like you have four times the PCM1704U-K as I'll have soon (Audio-GD Master 11 on a slow boat from you know where). If it turns out to be even 25% as great at 5% the price, I'll be happy.
Keep your eye on Peter Q at Audio Note. Haven't spoken to him in a while but understand he still feels there is miles to go in Digital to Analog conversion via discrete resistor ladder DACs.
Wish him luck!
Great to to see you again and keep pushing the envelope!

Chinese Holiday I didn't know about even living in San Francisco where Lunar New Year is a bigger deal than January 1.
I understand they are now quite busy clearing the backlog as the word is definitely getting out.
That said, the PCM1704U-K is still available from Mauser at about $60+ in large quantities (I put 150 in my 'cart' just to see if they would take the order and the do) so I don't thing there is any fear that King Wa will run out of chips.
