    Bump...for those that have not yet heard an upgraded DAC....

    You may be very well surprised at what these do....

    What Tom said!

    Talk about an incredible ROI, this is surely one of them. Pretty much a rarity in this crazy hobby of ours.

    The J2 DAC is no longer up for sale. I've decided to hang on to it.

    I need to purge some inventory so the J2 is fair game now.

    @bcwsrt prefers 36" cubed boxes for all packages, bottoms lined with lead shot. Something about impact zones and making sure the carriers respect "This End Up".

    Also, Brian likes to fund two packages of this spec. One is to be an empty decoy/test run.

    You’re not done already, are you? I deserve more. Much more. 🙄😬😂

    All hooked up and doing its thing with the optical signal from my old Sony CDP-508ESD! Mainly wanted to see how the internal DAC in it compared to this and then decide whether the Sony is still up to the task all these years later, or use the Sony as a transport with the J2, or chase an entirely new CD player. I'll get a better feel tomorrow or the next day, but sounds d@mn good so far! Nice wide soundstage, great detail, very "musical" (natural/neutral) and dynamic.

    Excellent job of packaging by @pearsall001 and all at a great price, perfect for a DAC noob like me, as he said. Thank you!

    Another in a string of nothing but great experiences with the members here.
