I'm told the Alpha USB is shipping this week.

Amirm,

Looking forward to your notification when stock arrives and thoughts on the product. Hoping you can comment on it's merits and perhaps in comparison to the Audiophilleo device you carry.

Cheers,
WDW

Hi WDW. Yes, I got the same notification. As you can imagine though, we so many delays I am to the point that I only believe it when it is in my hand :). That said, it did sound like it is actually coming.

Has it crossed your threshold?

Hello Amirm,
Has Berkeley finally shipped to Madrona? Please keep us in the loop.

It was supposed to have shipped by now but I have not heard. I am checking. But yes, as soon as I get it, I will report on it.

The Eagle has landed -- Again!

OK, at long last, the Berkeley USB to AES/S/PDIF has arrived! That is the good news. The bad news is that I am leaving for LA for most of this week so no chance to test it! :( Our crew is going to power it up though and make sure it is functional so when I get back, I can put it through the torture test. :D

The perfect way of avoiding our controversy questions about the effect of burn-in of a digital processing unit! :) I am particularly interested in having an independent opinion about the sound quality with PC and Mac. Have a nice trip!

Well, I screwed that one up. I picked up the unit before I left but then got no chance to test it. So the whole time it has been sitting turned off in my den :). Getting in late tonight. Hope to put it through the paces in the next day or two.
