I suggest that the chap is a contortionist, and that his head is jammed up his own backside.

I will soon, hopefully. Knowing Nick things will not sound nice for nice' sake. Next meet perhaps ?
I've got my Caiman, which is no slouch. And a steal at less than 10% of the suggested entry price.
A good friend has just bought a Chord Electronics Chordette Bluetooth DAC, and that sounds pretty splendiferous at around £400. And that's streaming files from a laptop with a common old garden Bluetooth dongle.

my "define good" wasn't in any way meant to be inflamatory toward Jerry, BTW - just that there are many definitions of good!
