Ahhhh, The latter would certainly blend a little better with the rest of my ARC system, Stainless steel might be interesting tho a little harder to work with than Alu.

Norman, thanks a lot for the link. I did not realize Lukasz is such a good presenter and entertainer:)
Most of my questions have been answered: new chip vs R2R, USB vs other inputs.
One thing I am still curious about is DSD performance of the new DAC. It is my understanding, that the new chip supports DSD natively, so the famous chipless DSD engine is no longer needed. Is that correct? Can anyone comment on DSD performance of the Pacific?

Thanks,
Aziz

He did say he is considering eventually doing black and brushed alu down the road..

Just to clarify Norman , Is Lukas considering an option of All black or All Brushed Alu ? Or Black Chassis case with brushed Alu front panel?

Viewing the close up posted above I cannot help thinking how nice that would look in Staniless Steel.

I think it has Both. One chipped for mixed playlist and chipless for mission critical DSD playback.

You don't need one. Just click "Not now" on the pop up that obscures the entire video. Then press play on the video. When it is playing, scroll up and set the video playback to full screen. Sorted.

Thank you, I am afraid " Not now " does not appear on the welcome page of FB:(

Wisnon's link doesn't take you to the FB welcome page (Windows 10 Microsoft Edge). At least on my laptop it is as I describe it.

I just tried it on my phone and it works without any issue (Android). You could try that.

My W7 and Ipad redirect me to the welcome page, have not any Android device.
But my son has given me his login and password :)
Then this is what FB tells me :

"The link you followed may have expired, or the Page may only be visible to an audience that you aren't in."

I give up :)

Don’t give up:) I had the same message when I tried to access the link from iPad. But with a MacBook it worked. So try it from a computer.

Here we go for all to see. I had to crop and few seconds from the start and end of the video, but it is more than 99% complete.

Done mainly as I don't like Facebook much. Quality is pretty much the same as the original i.e. no appreciable loss of resolution/frame rate. But the quality of the original wasn't high and it was shot with a mobile held vertically - which IMHO in the large majority of cases is never sensible.
