You never asked me...I have connections. :) Seriously, Michal and gang are getting the backlog taken care of very well now.
As I reported elsehwere (and I thought here) the PCM performance of the Mytek is 2nd only to my $7K Meitner MA-1 for musicality, tonality, image density and well-controlled but realistic frequency extremes. No, it doesn't do 24/384k like my Antelope Gold or M2tech Young DACs did, but so what. As I've said, it needs 500+ hours to do this, though. My comparisons are against several very good DACS, including the much pricier Antelope Gold (which only matches it if you are using a less than stellar preamp for the Mytek, as the Gold excels in its relay stepped attenuator remote volume function). My wish list for the Mytek is a beefier power supply, as I think it would stomp several weight classes above it if so, but budget restraints are real for a $1600 DSD dac
