I’m not sure about that. I ordered sometime late Feb, and its SE version.

Wow!! If it's Feb this year that is crazy quick! I can't wait to hear your impressions and how you find it in comparison to other dac's (and sources) you have experienced.

Wow!!! You Psyche SE looks beautiful! Look at all those transformers, tubes and lovely looking vintage parts!!!

Can't wait to get your listening impressions!!

What other sources have you / do you have in your system to compare it to?

It looks like "Christmas in July" for you Shashank!!!!!!

Hi Gerald.

How is your ABBAS going? Have you noticed any changes or made any more observations since your last update?

You can tell those of us who are on the order list are living vicariously through all the lucky bunnies who have already received theirs!

Currently don’t have any good DAC to compare. I had Abbas 2.2 se until recently but I’ll be able to compare with Abbas signature phono. That will be interesting.

Sure. I had to burn in 1000 hrs for my integrated amp to sound best.

True.
I sit definitely in the analogue camp for the shear involvement it brings. I dont however avoid digital when Abbas can make my CD's sound so good!!
Look forward to your comparisons

I received Hephaestus RIAA today after a 7 day journey from Kyiv and posted a few notes under "Abbas phono"

Hi, I received my DAC. Build is awesome. I’m not sure about checking bias voltage on output tubes. How often checking is needed?

Hi, congrats!

You should have get some little user manual, where he also explains in pictures how to validate bias!

ALWAYS ask Abbas first, he knows best ;-)
