E.U. Loaner Program

General discussion of the D100 24-bit Stereo DAC.

E.U. Loaner Program

Postby NekoAudio on Wed May 11, 2011 1:13 am

We're very happy to announce our very first European Union loaner program! Now those of you on the other side of the ocean can audition the D100 Mk2 in your own home too. :)

The way it works is simple. If you would like to audition the D100 Mk2, post a reply to this thread indicating your interest. Be sure to include your city and country. Please also indicate if you prefer to go before/after another person who you are acquainted with. Your name will be added to the list but your position will depend upon your location to minimize shipping.

Once the person above you in the list has finished his or her audition, the loaner unit is shipped to you. You have two weeks to listen before you ship it to the next person on the list.

To keep things easy, shipping costs are paid by the sender. Shipping must include full insurance for $1495 USD. This may be as much as 80€ so please keep that in mind. The next person in line must provide their shipping address and phone number to the shipper and Neko Audio. The shipper must provide the tracking number to the recipient and Neko Audio.

After the audition, each participant is asked to post on this thread with their impressions of the D100 Mk2, including what equipment they used. A pair of XLR female to RCA male interconnects is included with the D100 Mk2 for use with single-ended systems. (The D100 Mk2 is available with either XLR or RCA outputs, but for maximum compatibility the loaner unit has XLR outputs.)

You can also read people's impressions from the previous U.S. loaner program or the earlier Canada loaner program.

The E.U. program is closed.

Hello,

I'm Rodrigo from Ourense, a city located in the NW of Spain.
I've been posting in a headphones forum in Spain (www.auriculares.org) and I knew this great initiative by Torpedo.
I've been testing a lot of DACs during last year and I'm very interested in testing this DAC too (the Passive transformer-based analog output stage is very interesting to me ;) ).


Best wishes

Rodrigo
