For sure, should have it in a few days…the USA distributor just got a fresh shipment in…modhouse audio.
I have used Schiit Bifrost 1 and 2 for many years and liked them very much. Just got a iFi Pro DSD and its really very good…this 2541 is to see how well Soren has done with his latest R2R discrete ladder dacs… should be fun, I hope!!

It has received a lot of attention, very positive…its $1299 abit more than the Schiit B2…about the same as their gugnir…been compared to other dacs costing more. You really need some resolving headohones to hear the differences and then its the old “flavor” thing…that mysterious synergy thing…and we all hear differently…so its a try and buy thing.
The iFi pro dsd burr brown mb dac has been spectacular here for me…this is a whole lot less in price.
The amp portion hasnt received the highest ratings, but there is often it cant be that good at this price thing,…out there…
I think for the price its a really decent piece of gear…smaller than you would think!
I have gone thru honestly 30+ amps and bought and sold most and have 6 amps that I like and am selling 2 of them…will keep 4…lol
Stay tuned!

That sounds amazing. Have fun!
It has arrived. (Also included in this picture: Tripowin TC-01, 2.5mm Cable, 2.5mm to 4.4mm Adapter)
Edit: my iPhone does not recognize the UP5 when I use the Lightning to USB-C cable. A shame, but it is what it is.
Sound Impressions: With 4.4 Balanced, this thing sounds like a portable JDS Labs EL II as far as I can tell.
Edit: I think the Dual-DAC feature is meant to be used for SE, because it mutes/unmutes my music. when I switch between single & dual DAC modes; The Balanced output does not do the mute/unmute sequence.
Having said that, the SE should stay in Dual-DAC mode, because with a Planar like the Tin P1, higher volume levels sound cleaner.
Oh yes, the most important feature of this unit. Every time you turn it on/off, a sexy female voice with a European accent will speak to you.

Not so much as it was bought today, but I did get to pick up the title for my truck today.

Very nice! I’m excited to hear how you like the Utopia!
RCA (allegedly) NOS 5654 tubes arrived today. Trying them out with the MT602, let’s see if they change my mind about the whole “tubey thing”.

A title in the hand is worth 2 in the bush! A title in the hand also means no car payment. And that can be a good thing.

This right here. It’s amazing how quickly cash can pile up when you’re not making a car payment…
And I already shovel 22.5% or my salary into retirement…
