I see. Well, I have one incoming that was bought from Best Buy before Christmas. I'd guess it's a Rev 2, but who knows.

Going to compare to the UHA-6Smk2 and Meridian Explorer to see which one stays.

I'll send you the Meridian soon, I'm done w/ it.  Probably forever.  Have your bright and thin phones at the ready.

So how's this for $99?, how does it compare to the modi or the odac, for example?

From the website...

Among the improvements, the circuitry between the DAC chip and the analog output stage has been refined to create a more direct signal path, leading to even greater transparency and immediacy. Also, the DAC’s power supply has been fortified, which gives the sound more “grip,” and even greater dynamic contrast.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin
