Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?

I've been waiting for my repaired sub-woofer for over a week. It looks like it started out with the wrong address and now Fed Ex can't seem to find it.

Every day I get an email that it will be delivered but it never does. I and the shipper have called Fed Ex daily.

I know it's because of Covid...

👍 Joyful anticipation 🎉 definitely! Hard worked for, heavily researched… the greatest things of life. 

@toro3 Yea it is a beautiful piece. But I don’t agree with some of the design language and there are quite a few things I would change about it. Like too many buttons on the beautiful frontplate. Nothing I’d need to press that I can’t do with the remote. I'm actually thinking of ways to hide all the buttons and still keep it cosmetically pleasing.

haha this is so me. I laughed and looked to the side when I read this.

I was sitting on the front deck as I was stalking the DHL van location on my phone.

@clearthinker I don’t intend to debate what you are saying. But what you are saying doesn’t apply to my specific situation. The amp I have and the DAC I bought are meant to go together. You can say it was "mandatory" to buy the dac. There’s an optical cable that does not carry audio signal, that cable connects the dac to the amp to unlock a current-injection function and allow the amp to perform optimally the way it was designed.

Please disregard my basic stock cable, I’m awaiting delivery of a better one =P
