Thanks Jim!

Hey also you get a trial period. I think it only 15 days but this thing sounded great right out of the box. Better as time went on. You can always return it for a little fee. I leave all my equipment on: Mac, DAC, AMPS. Huge difference. And no real change in power bill. My electricity is only like $45 leaving the two amps, DAC and computer on 24/7.
Thanks for the heads up on leaving the power on. A DAC won't use very much power which iwould allow me to possibly leave it on. Our electricity is very expensive here. We hit 48 cents a kilowatt-hour at 300 kW-hr usage per month. When I had my Plinius in use I left it on 24x7 and not just in standby mode because it sounded so much better that way. I discovered that tip in an article by one of the TAS guys.
Back then it cost me an extra $20 per month. Now it would be $34 extra per month. For a single component.
Good point about your electric bill. My 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel i7 MacMini draws less than 15-Watts sitting idle and my DAC draws even less. I leave them ON 24/7.... which makes me wonder why some folks are constantly powering their systems ON and OFF. I turn OFF my integrated amp when not is use as it draws about 75-Watts sitting idle.BTW, what TV is that on your wall? Size? Age? I may be looking for a flat screen TV in the next month or so.

Just a TCL 56". Works just fine. Very inexpensive about a year old. Have my MacBook Pro Retina displayed to it and use Insomnia X so I can close the lid and not have the Mac go to sleep.
I've heard good things about TCL. A couple others on the Asylum have them including RodM the man who runs this website.
