As I wrote below, I have received a second sample of the V90-DAC and will
be reporting on it in a followup to be published before the next edition
of "Recommended Components" on our October issue. Not sure what else you
would've wanted me to do.

I think Sam should kick the MF habit for 6 months to regain credibility
Or declare his interest.
Lucky for me the dealer took the Bryston DAC back.
I struggled for a few weeks thinking I spent $30,000* for NOTHING (if the new "A" rated both Stereophile and TAS.. Was only as good as muy old DAc then WTF did I waste all that money on?
Well when the Bryston Phono box BP 1.5 arrived (it had to be made) I cried. It was so beautiful.
So I learned the whole DAC business is pretty iffy anyway.
And there is not a chance in Hell I would spend any money on another DAC again. (I learned my lesson)
My CD sounds great with my little used $250 Adcom DA700 modded with stuffing of antistatic foam per Stereophile guy from EU, Wayyyyy long ago... And using a VAC Standard as a fancy tube buffer. Glorious.*I bought Magnepan 3.6 Bryston 4B-SSTē, Bryston BP 26 BP 1.5 Rega P5 plus some tother stuff..

After the fact, there is not much more that you can do.
However, since the product was not reviewed in any meaningful way and was not tested, it should have been put in Class K.
