I have heard the non Golden Atlantic DAC previously but I have not heard the rest of the equipment so I am looking forward to the day also.

Qobuz has agreed to provide demo account for the event, so we will have lots of music to try in Hi-Res.
I would like to thank David Solomon (Qobuz - Cheif Hi-Res Music Evangelist) for making it possible.

Sorry, about that.
What can I say? I like to make sure that the information is as accurate as I can make it. On one of the other forum some asked what the difference was between normal GA an GA+, they either own one or has heard one.
I still need to sit down and write up my listening impression.
That Indian food looked good, too!
To bad Chris and Tom couldn’t make it this year.
Thanks D for putting up with me again.
See you this weekend at CAF
