Hi Hickory,Congratulation!I am very interested in the S5 too and am considering the choice of colour.Is the titanium paint of your pair OK? It's scary that the paint of Mreapoe100's pair came off so easily.Many thanks! 
Antelope Zodiac Gold - anyone have or heard one?
Some audiophiles in Hong Kong even claimed that Berkeley DAC & PrismSound Orpheus could not win ZG. Uncertain whether this is 100% correct.I guess if ZG & DAC202 are connected directly to a Mac during the shootout, the result can be differ...

Marantz SA7S1 owners - stock or modded
I own a SA-7S1 for about 1 year.IMO modding usually brings improvement but also changes in the sonic character. The pitfalls are that modding is not cheap & it's difficult to remove it if the change is not of your taste.To furhter improve SA-7...
