There is a SK behind the dac. What input will be used: USB, LAN or both?

Should have had a much larger room with big scale speakers to show it off.

Hey, you showing some Aries Cerat gear? If so, damb, my folks are 20 miles from Harrogate! In Spain now.

Hi, I think he is referring to RMAF show, not Harrogate. There is another Harrogate show in the UK where also they are showing Pacific.

Btw, I got some very critical feedback as regards the performance of the Pacific dac at the RMAF 2017 from an audio insider: according to this insider the Pacific dac 'sucked' and the sound was shrill. I have not yet heard the Pacific dac.

not what i heard at all. it was very refined, balanced, open and natural sounding to my ears all 4 times i visited. 'liquid' would be another descriptor that comes to mind......the last thing i would say would be 'shrill'. the first time the room was not settled (at 11am Firday) but still had good sound.

i guess we all have a right to our opinions.

Glad to hear this, Mike. And yes ... in this hobby we are all (luckily) entitled to our own opinion.
