    Things seem to be proceeding well...just wanted to say that I have a vested interest in this because I did contribute to the pot...late, of course. Then I was out of the U.S. for a little over and week and will be again in August....so I really had no time to participate in the Demoing, which is why I am really looking forward to those reviews...I'll probably be in China for a LONG stay by the time those are forthcoming--.

    cnh,

    I had no idea you contributed and back-out from the demo. I think you should be in the demo as anyone else. We need to have everyone's personal opinions and experiences including yours.

    Hopefully, we can work something out before you are leaving to China again? When exactly are you going to China? Hopefully, the next person in line will be generous enough to let you cut in to demo the player before you leave. But it's ultimately the decision of the majority folks here.

    So, people, what do you think?

    Thanks Mega...

    But I've already talked to Dane about that and backed out. Just consider my contribution a form of 'karma'. I just have too many things going on here...and will be in China by August? Just don't see how I could fit a Demo in!

    So all of you are my 'ears'? Retro's done a great job so far! As long as the Chinese don't filter me, I'll still be on this site...from the mainland. Maybe I can even track down the factory these boys are assembled in...ha, ha!

    I don't think Dane would mind to let you demo the player even though it's been said before.

    It's just that we need other folks approval for you to be in the demo order before you leave to China. Hopefully, some other participants will chime in for this.

    Had time today (sent the wife and rug rat to Granma's) to get down to business. As agreed nothing to say yet, still have some things I want to try. For now I'll just say I'm having fun,:D as I haven't forced myself to make time to just sit and listen in a L-O-N-G time.

    pearsall, and the rest in line, as much as I would like to keep this for another 2 or 3 weeks and have some friends over for more in depth listening:p I will try to get this shipped out Monday if FX or UPS is open.

    Right now it's at my place in Magnolia, NJ. I'm getting ready to ship it out to jerry12 in Griffin, GA.

    The other names & places are listed...you'll have to hunt & peck thru the thread to find the info though. But I do believe the info is towards the end.

    Hope this helps.

    Oh, and as far as my review goes!!!

    You'll just have to wait a little longer!!! :D Hint, Hint...I wish I could keep it a lot longer!!!

    I'm actually going to back out as well, for two reasons. 1. I initially did this simply to eliminate all the calamity on the other thread, and 2. I want the West Coasters to get it as soon as possible.

    James, I for some reason don't have your address either. Send that to me and Curt when you get a chance...

    Guy's, sorry should have posted earlier regarding this: The inner packaging is tight and set up just for the component's. But, with a little "surgery" the cable's should fit fine without compromising the player. For future reference to all, FedEx weighed in the carton at 26.10 lbs.

    Pat.

    Retro, one question: did you compared the ERC-1 vs using a USB drive with Flac formatted music directly using the SC-05 DAC?

    If so I look forward to your review.

    Hmmm.

    Says I'm next on the list...

    But if it was to go to jerry next. That would be fine. Cause I don't have a amp at the moment. I'll be buying a new one from Emotiva Friday though. So i should have one in 10 days or so..


    Is Jerry sending it to me?

    I know that the list was moved around a bit to work around some shipping concerns. I think Dane did mention that the demo would start on the East coast & work it's way West to help out with the shipping expense. Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure that's how it was finalized.

    I'm strictly going by a PM received from Dane...that I'm to ship to jerry12 in GA. You'll have to check w/ Dane or jerry about who's next on the list.

    Initially, Jerryj12 seems to wait his turn near the end since He and Ben Lives closer??? It may have been changed and Dane missed to update the new demo order.

    Let's wait till Dane have a chance to update for the new list and why.
